ScummVM v0.10.0 finally arrives

Posted Jun 21, 2007 at 10:32AM by Ryan A. Listed in: Homebrew Emulators, ScummVM Tags: Sierra Online

The team of Joost, Thomas, and Paolo just made an announcement over their official site concerning the new version of emulator ScummVM. Basically, this program lets users run classic, graphical pint-and-click adventure games on different platforms.

Currently pegged at version 0.X.0 (and the homebrew coders lovingly refer to it as the Tic-Tac-Toe version), a lot have changed to ScummVM since the last release back in October last year. So that you won't get confused, here is the complete changelog for this version:

Several new engines and thus new games supported:

Sierra AGI engine: Space Quest I & II, King's Quest I-III and many more, including a vast number of fan-made games

Cinematique evo 1 engine: Future Wars

GOB engine: Bargon Attack, Gobliins 2, Goblins 3, Ween: The Prophecy

AGOS engine: Simon the Sorcerer's Puzzle Pack

Parallaction engine: Nippon Safes Inc.

Touche engine: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer

DXA movies (higher quality than MPEG2) can be compressed better now and can be used for the Broken Sword cutscenes.
Added "Mass Add" feature to the Launcher, which allows you to scan for all games in all subdirectories of a given directory (to use it, press shift then click on "Add Game").
Many nice improvements to our ports.
And as usual a gazillion small fixes, tweaks and improvements.

» keyboard support

I've just got to add Keyboard support for this, and fix up the AGI control scheme. NB, if you didn't know you can click on the input line, and a T9 style input will come up for text input.
