Well, took a while since last post here, lot's of things going on
Found a totally open source MMO/RPG game (including assets etc), Eternal Lands
but on big-endian is more like flatlanders edition, since everything is flat not rendering 3d models, could see other players sending messages on chat and see their icon moving on overworld map
Another cool game, Whiplash/Fatal Racing, added a preliminar support for mac os x, don't know if it'll work on mac though
yahooo! (there's still a small issue with this one, after car makes a first jump, engine sound stops working)
and just today, got Mania Drive working too, there's some initial mac os x support
repositories for the last two

Managed to make OpenGL 4.6 to work which was broken for AMD radeon R600/Terascale 2 (it was stuck on a broken OpenGL3.2)
And Lego Island port to work too on big-endian devices, it supports OpenGL ES3.0, GL ES 2.0 and OpenGL 1.1

Edit: while vdpau st was removed from mesa, I am not sure vaapi ever worked for decoding on BE hosts? There are at least two reports on tracker about vaapi NOT working on BE on r600

GPU lockup when using r600g VDPAU on powerpc (#588) · Issues · Mesa / mesa · GitLab

Hi, yes one of first things that came to mind is vaapi/vdpau when opoengl4.6 finally got working, but according to internet for r600 vaapi/vdpau never worked properly, they removed on Mesa 22 for r600 and then completely for all drivers on mesa 25.3. I guess in the future they only want to stay with vulkan, vulkan video for encode/decode, and zink for opengl wrapper. I forgot about OpenCL to check if it works but I don't think much would run on that nugget R5 230(HD 6450 rebrand)
QMPLay2 which is my favorite multimedia player, still have some issues when choosing opengl to render, but qpainter/sw render works fine, but I think the issue of GL relies on qmplay2.
Right now I already have RMG n64 emulator working on the G5, trying to make the dynarec mips-to-ppc to work, so far audio and input works, using interpreter games already goes ingame but very glitchy.

I think vaapi state tracker still there, you just need to enable more interesting codecs like
-Dvideo-codecs="all" as argument for initial configuration.
