HELP... CPU instructions, Little-Endian or Big-Endian?
please help,
i'm writing a PS2 emu and i just came to the part of interpreting CPU instructions, i want to extract, for instance, the opcode num from the instruction set, BUT:
should i treat the instruction as Little-Endian byte order, or Big-Endian?
i mean, for instance, is the opcode in the FIRST byte in the ELF file, or in the FOURTH one???
PLEASE help me out! thanx.
