Description Daniel 2016-10-02 18:38:30 UTC 
WIN_UTF8ToString is defined as a macro that uses SDL_iconv_string("UTF-16LE", ...
All routines that use it (like SDL_LoadObject, RWops, etc.), will not work properly on big-endian machines.

Is there a bigendian Windows OS?

Going to mark this as WONTFIX for now, but we'll reopen it if we ever get an Xbox360 port.  :)

(Even the XBox One is littleendian again, though.)
