Some numbers not decoded correctly on big-endian systems. about ff7tk HOT 2 OPEN

Started some changes with 7db8071 . BC has been synced with ff7tk so building the master branch there should work. Please let me know if it works for you and If you find other values being reported incorrect please report them here. (I don't have a bigEndian cpu to test on atm)

from ff7tk.

Thanks.

There are still several issues, but it's looking better. I've not tried saving yet though.

For starters, run speed and sprint speed still show as 9999 each, when they should be (for Rocco, anyway) 1735/2560 and 2135/3050 respectively. Stamina is now displaying correctly however. So is Gil and GP, as well as battles. I have never escaped, so I don't know if escapes are being displayed correctly or not (zero is zero).

Materia AP is all wrong, too. According to big endian, my Cover materia has some massive negative number of AP (it gets truncated with ellipsis (…)), rather than positive 218, for instance. That's in the side column; in the selected materia skills/stat info window it shows as 40,000/40,000 (again, instead of 218/40000).

The Materia stolen by Yuffie area also uses incorrect AP numbers.

Also, Cloud (on PowerPC) appears to have used limit 1-1 17664 times, when in fact he has used it 69 times. Limit 2-1 claims 1536 uses, but has been used 6 times.

On big endian, Cloud also has 23325 HP and 32767 MP (Should be 2456 and 613).

Cloud also has 46849 kills rather than 439, and 1544291584 EXP rather than 330844.

That's everything I'm seeing at the moment. You got everything I reported before fixed except for the chocobo run and sprint speeds.

Qemu can be used to run PPC binaries on amd64, by the way. I've also managed to get the program to cross-compile for PPC from my amd64 desktop (although it took a bit of footwork, and this is from someone who's done a lot of cross-compiling before). An easier way would be to make a PowerPC chroot and use qemu user emulation again, but that will make compilation much, much slower than running a proper cross-compiler.
