Build of Wii Mame [SOLVED]

[Hi, I'm Nebiun.
I'm trying to build a more complete version of Wii Mame to contain *every* drivers of original Mame version 0.135.
I downloaded the sources for version 1.0 of Wii Mame and the sources of Mame version 0.135, combined them togheter and built a complete .dol
The size of the final .dol is too big to run on Wii and homebrew channel simply refuse to see it.
Wii Dolphin Emulator crashes loading the .dol
Then I split it in 4 .dol, grouping drivers to obtain an executable with a size digestible from HC.
All 4 .dol running well on Dolphin, but when I try to run them on a real Wii, all of them crash with the same
error: Exception (alignment) occurred!

Using addr2line for debug, I obtained this:

Someone have an idea to solve the problem?
Thanks.

Source code is available if someone is interested.

Is there any data being compiled into the Dol that could be moved to an external source?

Mame is build with separated libraries.
Only few files in these libraries have "big" data. I tried to remove this objs from the dol, reducing the bss to about 3 mb (like version 1.0) but no changes (same crash).
Data segment is about 10 kb (same of version 1.0).

Bump!
Can it be a loading problem?

This is likely caused by reading or writing floats or doubles to memory that isn't aligned to 4 (for floats) or 8 (for doubles) byte boundaries.

I know, but I put a fprintf on file very early in main routine, and file is never created, then I suppose that the unaligned access is done by loader and not by the program.
There is a flag that I can use to compile the sources to avoid unaligned accesses?

Solved!

The problem seem due to L2Enhance call.
Removing this call all works flawless

Now I have a wiimame version 1.35 splitted on 4 .dol to play (I hope ;-)) all roms supported by mame 0.135.

sweet, persistence does pay off!

Hi. Sorry to bump a year a year old post but any chance of sharing your builds?
