Are these diffs in the links below in proper format? Thanks for the help as I’ve never done this before. The AltiVec patches are crucial to playing 360p x264 MP4 files on my 1.42GHz G4, as well as speeding up file conversion. The IOQuake3 patches are the first to support any PowerPC BSD, and were pretty straight forward to figure out. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=159072101614301&w=2 https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=159071707413348&w=2
