Hey there,
I was asked a few days ago to test a branch on Big Endian AmigaOS4...I *think* it had to do with the AGS engine.
Unfortunately I lost the details and completely forgot what it was I should have done.
Dear dev in question, please remind me and sorry for the troubles
Thank you

Re: Some tests on Big Endian AmigaOS4
It may have been that I was asking if the changes introduced by this PR (integration of the old 2.1.3 FreeType library specifically for the AGS engine) were compatible with Big Endian architectures.
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/5188
So in that case thet test would be:
- Make sure it builds without issues, and that AGS games launch ok
- For specific AGS games like the ones mentioned in that PR thread, check that the glyph rendering and text wrapping is fixed as shown in the pictures in the PR. I usually test with "Dreams in the Witch House" and "Zniw Adventure" (the demo and the full game, but the demo should suffice for this testing).

Don't worry, test it when you have time... actually following latest development I don't even know if the PR will be merged
