If the whole saving and loading gives problems, why not tell a game to pause? I'm not sure whether each engine has a pause option, but it should be valid: Get a call ->pause game after the call ->unpause game The problem is that I don't think the iPhone backgrounds the application when you click th...

That would be... tricky :). Emulators can do it since the games basically run in a virtual machine with its own seperate memory space. In ScummVM everything is native, all you could do is do a full memory dump of the whole application and somehow restore that afterwards. Which won't work :P Ouch, I...

Hmm... That may be tricky. Game engines don't always allow saving at arbitrary points during gameplay. It's possible that a "forced" savegame like that won't work properly. Rather than saving, is it possible to suspend the game engine and resume it? I could have sworn that such a thing wa...

Very impressive work.

I've got a full-blown port working. Instead of using the SDL backend, I've written an iPhone backend which uses CoreSurface for rendering. The CoreSurface buffer is then attached to a LayerKit layer, so I've got scaling, aspect ratio correction, and automatic rotation between portait and landscape ...

It would be pretty handy to use SDL for the rest of the stuff that's needed, so I'd appreciate it :). At least to find out whether the SDL support is actually there yet or not, or whether we'll have to set up native support for everything. OK, it's a big of a learning curve, but I'll give it a shot...

Will that also take care of the input issues or should I continue trying to get the mouse working through SDL?

Looks good. You're better with a camera, clearly

Nice! Using the iphone-mame-sdl version of SDL? That's the one. There were some minor problems getting it to compile, but I took a look at the NES emulator and figured out a way to fix the errors. The big problem right now is the lack of mouse support, that's a pure SDL problem and it's one that th...

http://images.punknews.org/images/scummvm/iphonescummmain.jpg I spent some time on this today, and this is how far I've gotten. There are still some major problems: most notably, the "mouse" doesn't work. This is because the SDL-iPhone code I'm using isn't working. I will see what I can d...

You can use Lipo to make your universal binary before you have your build environment. You probably know this, but just in case:

Currently on a few days vacation, and my only internet connection is a 9600 kbps link through my mobile. So doubt I'll be able to try FLAC while I'm away :). I've made a Universal Binary and submitted some patches so you can use that until you're able to make an "official build." It's bui...

I've put together patch against the SVN source tree. I've also patched "configure" so it does a proper altivec test. I've tried it on a MacBook as well as my old Powerbook G4 (which has Altivec) and the patches seem to be cross-architecture properly. The patch is here: http://sourceforge.n...

Hi, I've made a proper Universal build of ScummVM; it's compiled identically to the mainline packages (i.e. Vorbis, MPEG2, FLAC, etc.) and is native on both platforms. It's tested and working fine as far as I can tell, and the only changes I made were for endianness (due to assumptions about PPC) an...
