I think I'll better be patient.... You guys are amazing. Really. How the **** can you develop intrincate stuff like that so fast??? Even if you are good at architecting, every piece of code deals with reverse engineering, which means you have to learn from scratch, analyze and infer every new code. ...

Nice! I checked it in github, With your instructions it seems fairly doable, it's just changing any "if" that splits functionality to adapt it to a mixed PC_3DO version to precisely pick the best features from both worlds. Then I need to look for the detection code which I am sure I can in...

How much time for a non-developer (but frankly, well trained in IT technicalities) could it take? I mean I can learn C++ and try to implement a function or something like that I guess provided some guidelines, but not sure I can handle the study of the whole architecture (though I'd love to learn ho...

Wow! I'd better get one of the 5 avilable in Amazon then :) Anyway, is there any major differences in graphics or music, aside from the character video close-ups? I can live without them (too 3D for an old point and clicker like me), If the 3DO is missing readable fonts and the diary, could it be mu...

Sherlock Holmes: Serrated Scalpel

Hi! First of all, thank you for supporting this game! It's awesome your effort! I'd like to ask whether anyone knows of a CD version that is full talkie. I've seen it commented, but not sure if it's reliable info. I just own he foppy one. Besides, is the 3DO version supported? Is it an enhanced vers...

Ohh! So I can not only erase it from the wishlist but also I have to assume it's even more difficult to get given it exists :) i was wondering about your sources because you sound like totally sure of what you say. I mean how do you know they had a completly finished version' I checked once and coul...

It was distributed in english for sure, but I am not sure whether it was talkie http://www.myabandonware.com/media/captures/I/igor-objective-uikokahonia/igor-objective-uikokahonia_3.gif But I think so I barely infer it from an interview with their designers: http://macedoniamagazine.frodrig.com/pend...

The last status I got is: the game is freeware but not available on their site, and the original sources are lost. The engine written by cyx is working great but using some on-the-fly interpreter of the executable assembly, and this technique has been rejected. The standalone engine of cyx is avail...

And I guess your estimations are for experienced programmers in C++ and intrinsics within scumm engine.... Most of our developers know nothing about the SCUMM engine internals at all. SCUMM is really just our oldest/mainlin engines and thus we are named ScummVM. It's not like any of the other engin...

Thanks Strangerke! Wow, then there must be real geniouses here, because I saw an almost completion of games that need to be reverse enginered in few months!! I was expecting you to tell me, if you got te sources, and after learning how to do the first one it's relatively fast but I see it isn't... A...

How much effort would it take to make a new ScummVM subproj?

Hi! I am a complete ignorant on inner scumm issues and C+, but I've seen a lot of public repositories with implementations of classical platform games (even original source codes). Same as ScummVM is for 2D adventures and residualVM for 3D adventures, PlatformVM could be for 2D platform games. I kno...

Well, 5 years have passed from the last time we spoke about that. I remember they did not close the door to share the code, so as i did with Igor, can i ask if those who tried in the past, have plans to insist on the original developers?

Does anybody know anything about that issue? I still cannot download it, but I am thinking that maybe with the free release the source code can be requested if that is true
