Re: could you check if scummvm doesn't run King Quest 6

Also, most times if you have extra files in the game's installation folder (from third party patches and other such fan made packages), delete them all (except for saved games) or move them out of that folder and back them up elsewhere, as they might interfere with ScummVM running the game. There ...

Re: could you check if scummvm doesn't run King Quest 6

GOG should give you the option to uninstall without deleting your saved games, if that is a concern. And then you can re-install in the same folder and ScummVM will pick it up, since you've already added the game there.

Or if you're using the GOG Galaxy client, there's an option to verify the data ...

Re: I have no Mouth and I must Scream FREE on EPIC

I'd say the missing file is an omission by the publisher for the Epic distribution package.

It's there on Steam and GOG --I just checked, it's under a "classic" folder where all the required files to detect/add and launch from ScummVM reside. Both GOG and Steam now distribute the "remaster(?)" from ...

Re: ScummVM on track for striped patience


ScummVM has officially wrapped up on Gamos’s Windows proprietary game engine. The engine originally powered Pilot Brothers 1 & 2 , launching the iconic adventure series before it later transitioned to qdEngine and NGI tech. The engine was also widely used to build a wave of office time-killer ...

Re: Which games would you like to be supported on the future?


Can any tell me if Return to monkey island will ever run on ScummVM, and if not why? Is it todo with the dink VM?

As far as I know, there's currently work in progress to support it. I think scemino (ScummVM developer) is working on it. Its engine has many changes from the one used for ...

Re: Will ScummVM ever be able to support RetroAchievements?

Technical incompatibilities aside with this specific platform, I think I'd like to see more games (supported by ScummVM) integrating achievements, similar to how it's done for the AGS games.

It would require extra work and time, specifically from the engine developers and/or zealous contributors ...

Re: Will ScummVM ever be able to support RetroAchievements?

Maybe you could offer some more details on what RetroAchievements is, and how you see this practically integrated with ScummVM's engines/games?

Re: Blair Witch Volume One - Rustin Parr

I don't think I've ever played this game.

It looks like an Alone in the Dark (up to 4) / Resident Evil type of game. Wikipedia says it's based on the Nocturne engine, which was originally used to create the Norcture game (1999) and then this title and its two sequels.

I am not aware of any ...

Re: Released for beta testing: Deponia 1 - Ultimate Fan Patch Edition Builder v4.7beta10

I'm just thankful and amazed you're doing this.

I've never played the Deponia games, due to lack of time, but I've owned them and on multiple platforms, so a playthough is upcoming. I'll definitely try your Ultimate Edition!

I very much appreciate the work you're putting in this. Thank you.
