/usr/include/gcc/darwin/default/ppc_intrinsics.h (#include <ppc_intrinsics.h>) has user-visible functions that expand to the load and store byte reversed instructions, as well as many other useful ones:

Code:

* Byte-Reversing Functions

 *   __lhbrx    - Load Half Word Byte-Reverse Indexed

 *   __lwbrx    - Load Word Byte-Reverse Indexed

 *   __sthbrx   - Store Half Word Byte-Reverse Indexed

 *   __stwbrx   - Store Word Byte-Reverse Indexed

After looking closer it looks like it's safe to use both CFByteOrder.h (Carbon) and NSByteOrder.h (Cocoa) functions instead of rolling your own. Both sets of functions are static inline and both sets use the optimized assembly code when available.

Sigh. Give me a chance!

I'm basically done. Watch eternal-lands.com over the next few days and it will probably appear

Please let us know if it works, if there are bugs, etc.

What video card do you have? And how many FPS do you see in the game? (upper left corner)

Is it a Blue and White G3?
If so then it doesn't even have an AGP graphics slot...

Try running it in a lower resolution, less graphics options, in fullscreen etc.

Found a bug: the delete key doesn't seem to work. No other problems so far (except trying to read that ugly-looking text

)
