gpsp/libdragon

build with libdragon unstable. https://libdragon.dev/

requires real hardware or ares-emu to run. https://ares-emu.net/

because the n64's cpu needs ten instructions to byte-swap a word (and eight to byte-swap a half-word), we just leave memory in word-wise big-endian and simply invert the lower bits of addresses whenever we access bytes or halfwords at runtime (just one XOR instruction, and no need to touch word accesses - the most common by a landslide - at all!)

for this scheme to work, the ROM must also already be in word-wise big-endian, which you can achieve with binutils like so:

objcopy -I binary -O binary --reverse-bytes=4 .../game.gba .../gpsp/libdragon/filesystem/rom.gba

dynarec doesn't quite work yet - crashes for reasons i don't yet understand! to attempt to use it and/or debug, change the variables in the Makefile. (hint: there's also a make target debug that works if you have ares and multiarch gdb, but it doesn't change the build flags - that still needs to be done by hand in the Makefile)

ppu emulation is still done in software on the main cpu - i am hoping to make a renderer that utilizes the RCP, but that may take some time to implement.
