ScummVM 2.9.0git running on PocketPC, PR#6237

Hello friends,
I'm wondering if it would be possible for developers to re-evaluate the patch included into PR #6237:

https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/6237

Unfortunately, it has been closed perhaps too quickly before I could explain the reasons from where that change came from.
Thank you ...

Re: ScummVM 2.6.0 or: Insane Escapism

Hello,
version 2.6.0 still does not work on my PC.
See:
https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/13712

Sincerely.

EDIT: I debugged a bit more and for pure case I found where the bug is, see:
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/4155
After applying that fix, SCUMMVM finally works again on my PC.

Re: ScummVM 2.3.0git running on PocketPC

It seems that adding "--disable-scalers" made a much more usable result:
BTW, do you know if, inside the virtual machine, there are already some options for:
1) rotating the screen landscape/portrait?
2) adding a virtual keyboard?

Here, I attached the latest results after adding that option at ...

ScummVM 2.3.0git running on PocketPC

Hello,
I took the latest sources of ScummVM from GIT and I compiled them for Windows CE.
After about one day of work, I resurrected the virtual machine on this platform with few changes and by using current SDL user interface.
I have to say that I expected to find much more troubles.
Actually, in ...

Re: Binary release of SCUMMVM for Windows


What do you mean? Why ScummVM comes with only 4 DLLs instead of, say, 8, 13 or 53?

Well, this is my case as an example: the speed is not exactly the best when you run SCUMMVM on an Intel Atom, but if you select FluidSynth support then the program slow down a lot, becoming quite difficult to use ...

Binary release of SCUMMVM for Windows

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a particular reason because the stable executables of SCUMMVM for Windows are released as a single, big monolithic file without much dependencies rather than the main executable and a number of extra DLLs.
Sincerely.

Hello,
I compiled the latest sources of ScummVM for Aarch64 on linux Debian and I tested it with the german demo version of the game that I downloaded from this site: the game starts, it plays the intro video and when I select New Game the gameplay starts without crashes.
Perhaps, the demo version ...

Re: Bladerunner engine (and others) and use of float math.


Indeed the C++ standard, declares overloaded trigonometric functions for float, double, and long double, and I would expect sin(float) and sinf(float) (which can both be used) to have the same performances.


I see. Thank you very much for your quick reply.
So, according to what you said ...

Re: Toonstruck crashes on aarch64

I would like to suggest an useful (at least, for me it is) method for testing SCUMMVM for different platforms quite easily.
The only prerequisite is the presence of linux and QEMU-USER.
QEMU is an emulator that pehaps you already know and, besides the emulation of a total system like VirtualBox ...

Bladerunner engine (and others) and use of float math.

Hello,
while looking to the source codes, I have noticed some interesting points when reading the sources of the Bladerunner engine. However, this could be applied to many other engines that use floating point math.
Well, let't take this example:

float x = <some calculations>
float y = sin(x);

Hello,
I was wondering what you think about releasing ScummVM for running natively on Windows 10 for ARM64.
This platform is known to be able to run also 32bit x86 code by using a software emulator, but often with poor performance, while a Snapdragon is able to reach much greater results when it ...
