dhweg, you should also talk to the DW2 team (mostly dreammaster, I guess), for support.

I can certainly help with any questions about how DW2 does things, but wouldn't be much help in locating specific memory accesses that should be endian wrapped, since I don't have a big-endian system. I think that joostp has already done some work on endian fixing the Tinsel code, so you might want to touch bases with him.

Could you please be more specific about what the actual error is?
Is it the same as in bug #2462700? https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2462700&group_id=37116&atid=418820

I'd love to be more specific, however this build doesn't seem to give me any error reports. It just kicks back to the homebrew menu after the aforementioned animation.

When I am back in Germany in march, I can do some debugging on a big endian machine. But if e.g. joostp has some time *before* that...
Somebody mentioned that Tinsel might also suffer from alignment issues, BTW.

Yes, this is a general DW2/Tinsel2 problem on all Big Endian machines. I had done some work on this, but not finished yet. Seems I have some free time now, so stay tuned...

As of r36219 the game should be playable on big endian systems. I've only tested a few scenes though, so there's bound to be something lurking still.

This is an endian issue. Afaict there is currently noone working on this. I'll look into it, but i'm new to the DW code, no promises ;)
