Voodoo 4 BE (Big Endian) modes consistently work (no crashes) but with messed up colors. This bug has existed for many years.

The Voodoo 4 bug with Warp3D is a separate bug which may or may not show incorrectly rendered 3D triangles before freezing/crashing. This is a newer bug which does *not* affect 2D. Reverting to the old pci.library solves this problem for me. It is probably an init problem with how the board/registers are mapped so may only affect certain configurations. This is *not* a bug in W3D.

I doubt anything can be easily done with either bug without Elbox help. Are you helping to program Amigenerator and/or WarpSNES?
