AGS: PS3: Fatal "Unhandled 64-bit pointer result from plugin method call" with some games

Description
No single AGS game is working on PS3 v2.5.1. An error messages appears after starting a game and and that's it. No matter if it is a small or a big game. I tested multiple games which are reported to be working fine. First thought that it might be a memory issue because the error message states something about this, but then tried it out on my Wii and the small game "Maniac Mansion Deluxe" for instance is working fine there.
It has only <20MB, so I think the PS3 should handle this one. So I guess the AGS support is broken on the PS3 port!?

Maniac Mansion Deluxe works on my big-endian PowerBook G4.
On PS3, starting it triggers the "Uhandled [sic] 64-bit pointer result from plugin method call" error message, though.

Could you test this again once 2.7.0 is released (you can grab a test build in the meantime), and report back what you're seeing with each AGS game you test, please?
The "Uhandled 64-bit pointer result from plugin method call" error still happens on Maniac Mansion Deluxe, and some games may be very slow there, but the games should work a bit better on PS3 now.

I've done some tests again with ScummVM 2.7.0 and my (limited) AGS library on PS3, and all games appear to start fine there, now, except for:
- Maniac Mansion Deluxe is still triggering this "Uhandled 64-bit pointer result from plugin method call" fatal error (only on PS3, it's OK on ppc32). See https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/c1fd025a64470020851cd6c42f1359c1d893b7dc/engines/ags/engine/script/cc_instance.cpp#L1054
- Rendering in general is very slow there, but AFAICS this engine rendering limitation is already known.

I wonder if this could be related to the flashlight plugin, could you try another game that uses that plugin such as 9 hours to dawn? Thanks

So I did some tests with 9 hours to Dawn, and it doesn't trigger the issue on PS3.
Upgrading to ScummVM 2.8.0 didn't fix the error with Maniac Mansion Deluxe.

@dwatteau could you please re-test MMD on PS3 with the latest master? Thanks

Yes it still happens on PS3 with an up-to-date November 10th snapshot.

Thank you very much, I'm doing a PS3 build through Docker, and I will report back the results.

Unfortunately, the "Unhandled 64-bit pointer result from plugin method call"
error is still there with Maniac Mansion Deluxe, when updating to my own build with commit c5bc568d4106be97c5f7904a0e73b665ff15cb3e

Maniac Mansion Deluxe now starts on PS3, thanks to lephilousophe's https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/6241 PR.
(However, the rendering is still very slow, and if I quit the game -- with the return to launcher setting on -- the console just appears to hang. But that's probably another set of issues for AGS on PS3).
So I think this ticket can be closed, once the PR above is merged into the main and 2.9.0 branches.
Thanks!

PR merged as 7cc927d73e61cae6528fb84958e601533761b145 and 4addaacb3db8a2a0b0905f5437f506d511fc01b7.
Thank you for the tests.
Possibly related to bugs #12802 and #13417.
There is a good chance this this is an endianness issue and affect all big endian platforms.
