Description (last modified by )
I experience issues with the 2.9.0 PS3 version with theses 3 games :
(1) GEMINI RUE
I have just installed version 2.9.0 on Playstation 3 and I have theses issues with these games :
GOG GEMINI RUE v1.0.0.4 or GOG GEMINI RUE v2.3_(56795) = Run at 11-14 FPS max on PS3 Port (I assume all version of the game...)
(2) BILLY MASTER WAS RIGHT
Game seem to work fine but I experience regular slowdowns when moving the character. (in the stair for exemple)
could be optimized
(3) SPACE QUEST 1 VGA
THIS GAME WAS RUNNING FLAWLESSLY ON PREVIOUS VERSION OF SCUMMVM
I HAVE NOT TESTED THEM ALL BUT I REMEMBER IT WORKED FLAWLESSLY ON 1.8.0 and 2.0.0
EDIT : CONFIRMED THE GAME WORK FLAWLESSLY ON PS3 v1.8.0 & 2.0.0 but HARD FREEZE on later PS3 version...(all version!)
With or Without Translation patch the game freeze in the introduction scene when the green ship abord the yellow one
HARD freeze i have no option to return to ScummVM launcher and need to force shutdown the console by holding power button.
Very Hard on the console & power supply.
*Need to mention SPACE QUEST 2-3-4-5-6 work FLAWLESSLY with or without translation patch.*
ONLY the 1st Game have issue AFTER PS3 ScummVM v2.0.0
So clearly something going on with the Space Quest 1 that need optimization for the ScummVM PLAYSTATION 3 Port.
@Aquadran (Paweł Kołodziejski) is the gentleman port maintainer for the PLAYSTATION 3.
I hope you are able to see/read this message.
If anyone know Pawel and are able to contact him or could be useful for the PS3 port please let me know here.
Thank you

@Cognoscenti
Unfortunately this is a known issue.
ScummVM's AGS engine was not created from scratch, it's a port of the upstream AGS engine and to maximize compatibility we can't really add many "optimizations", otherwise there's always the risk of causing weird bugs (see for example #12764)
The issue is partially mitigated using AVX/SSE optimizations, but these are only available on some platforms.
The Billy Masters slowdown should be investigated, but regarding Gemini Rue it is most likely caused by the rain effect.
In any case, there are countless others... The Cat Lady, Zniw Adventure, Unavowed are the first that come to mind
@Cognoscenti1973: Hi, thanks for your report.
As discussed over Discord, the Space Quest 1 VGA appears to be a different problem, to me, so I've moved it to a separate ticket: #15768. I may need some details from you in that ticket, if you can.
As for the current ticket, could you edit your initial message, to drop the last "(3) SPACE QUEST 1 VGA" part (moved to the new ticket), for easier review?
Thanks.
