ScummVM 0.13.0 Delivers New Adventure Games

KingofGnG writes "The classics, by definition, never go out of fashion, let alone if they are the graphic adventures of past decades. The preferred tool of true adventurers is ScummVM, software that works as an interpreter between data files of such adventures and modern operating systems. 6 months after the release of version 0.12.0, developers have now delivered a new main release of the virtual machine, which includes novelties both for the interface and supported games."

There is always DOSBox - but I know what you mean.
It would be nice to have them in ScummVM, as it runs a lot of places where DOSBox does not run as well.

I would love to have LSL on my PSP at a decent speed!

ScummVM has recently merged with FreeSCI, so this is going to happen eventually. Right now, there's still a lot of clean-up and restructuring going on, general development will continue then.

Of course, help is always appreciated, so if /you/ perhaps would like to provide said help, there's for example #scummvm on FreeNode.

Though I suppose that technically comes under the heading of grey realms of abandonware. At least it's a well known site.

No, that's IF. For that, you're going to need Gargoyle [ccxvii.net] or Frotz [sourceforge.net].

SCI-support not high on their "to do" list?

Pardon me, I present to you new evidence! [scummvm.org]

Well, just to be clear: The thing with residual is not some abstract status, but a lack of interested devs with enough free time.

Anybody here who qualifies for that is free to check in #scummvm on FreeNode and offer their help. :P
