Troubleshooting
Errors when compiling from source
../../core/rend/soft/softrend.cpp:1167:77: error: invalid cast of an rvalue expression of type ‘__m128i {aka __vector(2) long long int}’ to type ‘__m128& {aka __vector(4) float&}’
Edit softrend.cpp line 1167 to match below
return (__m128)_mm_shuffle_epi8((__m128i&)v, _mm_set_epi8(R(0x80,2,1,0)));
NOTE: We deleted the first & that appears in the line. (who wants to use a software renderer anyway?)
