Scrolling on Amiga Lucas Adventures

Post by ancalimonungol »

When played on Amiga, screen scrolling with Lucas Arts adventures on Amiga was smooth. Is it possible to make ScummVM scroll screens smoothly like on the Amiga?

I looked at a recording of Monkey Island 2 on the Amiga, and the scrolling did indeed look a bit smoother. ScummVM should be able to do smoother scrolling too (the last few LucasArts SCUMM games require it), but I don't know how much work it'd be to add it for older games.

If you want a better chance of the idea not getting lost in the forum noise, you could use the feature request tracker.

Those videos on youtube skip frames. Scrolling was indeed much smoother. I'll request the feature.
