Ok, here goes:

Incorrect. The PCI bridge connects to the G2 bus. The Maple bus is
the serial bus for the controller ports on the front of the
Dreamcast. It is not used internally.

Maybe it should be clarified that this refers to the SH-4 _in the
Dreamcast_ only. It is perfectly possible to run an SH-4 in
big-endian mode. The one in the Dreamcast is wired for little-endian
use though.
