Great job!!

I hope both developers could work together, because Gus also seems to have his project at a very advanced level and it surely would benefit the whole ScummVM community.

Hope the Android port becomes official soon :)

PD: it was great to hear the opening music of Fate of Atlantis on the Nexus.

Hey, thanks for spending time on this. Although now I can't get sound in Monkey Island 1 (cd version). It works (as it did lready) for my other games.

The Dig crashes if I skip the openning cut scene.

Right click works well, thanks. Its a little inconvenient however since in Milestone when the screen is in slide-out position the camera key is half behind it and hard to press. Ideally there could be an on screen alt key or something.

And we still get sides of the screen flash when playing broken sword or any other high resolution game. Maybe Gus could explain how is it possible to stetch these games (broken Sword and CMI). I can never remember how I have got it to work on pc, I know I haven't used .ini file.

Desire

Works great on my Desire except for the problem with extra mouse click every time I touch the screen. Unfortunately the optical trackball is too slow to play it decently.

Another thing is, that music keeps playing if you switch to the home screen or receive a call.

Great work, thanks to both of you!

ps: the desire (and the nexus?!?) doesn't have a camera key.

Hi There,

I just downloaded the newest build to my Desire and I'm liking the new ScummVM icon!

Some problems noticed:

* I noticed that the Optical trackball has now become way too sensitive, it is impossible to select certain points on the screen, as it 'skips' large areas when trying to control using this.

* In this build it seems that OGG isn't working now, as I had this for music on MI.

* When taping anywhere on the screen, it immediately registers a mouse-click which is awkward. This doesn't work well with the current method since you have to also drag the mouse cursor at the same time.

I'm still so happy that I can play scummvm on my Desire! It'd be close to perfect for me if the above things were addressed.

As a quick fix for the cursor movement, I suggest having an option to remove 'tap to click' so that any screen presses only move the cursor, and you left-click only with the optical trackball. The tap to click would work only if the cursor snaps to the position of every screen press.

Thanks again for taking the time to put this together, great work!!

So what does this mean now for gus's work, even more now that the android port (which one?) has beend added to the scummvm SVN repository!?

While I don't know about the details it somehow feels like gus work is left out, just because it takes more time and all of the sudden someone else comes up with a quick thrown together port.

As far as I can read gus work on a android port sounds more advanced/ efficient, so is all that just lost?

Gus is now part of the ScummVM Team and it is his work that has now become the official Android port. Hopefully what this means for Gus is that he will get more support from the team to make his port even better.

Sounds great, so I guess that means we get some more info on a new and now all official release soon!? ;)

Thanks for all your efforts gus and also everyone else on the ScummVM team, glad android finally made it!

I think "patches welcome" ;)

I've been working on getting the port properly merged into ScummVM, which has just happened. So now people should be able to get the code without having to track down patches in bug tracker entries.

I think the only outstanding bug before a 2.0+ friendly market release is fixing what broke plugins in Android 2.0. I (or anyone else for that matter) should be able to build a (big) package with all the engines statically linked in very easily. I'll do so and put it up somewhere (not the market) so at least we can get some testing mileage on the rest of the code.

We will also try to get the Android port added to our buildbot which would among other things provide us with daily builds!

Thank you very much, Gus. I think there are a lot of people who are waiting for ScummVM to work on Android, and all of us are very grateful to you.

Thank you!
