Quake3e still needs a bytecode compiler for ppc64le if you were still interested in helping with that.

It would be great if someone who has more experiences to tackle https://github.com/ec-/Quake3e/issues/232. I am more than happy to tag along to learn and help out whatever I could

I don't think this would work as written for the original PowerPC Q3VM, which was big-endian (little-endian PowerPC wasn't really a thing in those days). There may also be a few 32-64 bit edges, though I would think that would be minor.

it wouldn't, it needs a new one. Game/sourceport still works as is though, just some mods will have performance degradation..

@ClassicHasClass if you have capacity, I would love to pair with you to see if we could add optimisation for LE for the ioq3 port (which is supposed to be the most supported / de-facto source port for Q3)
