Windows CE builds only work with Windows CE 5.0. Windows Mobile 6.x is basically Windows CE 5.0 + extra features, meaning you won't be able to use these binaries on Windows CE 6 or CE 7.

No worries, I was just suggesting :) SCUMM is not easy to program either (especially with ScummGEN), which is why I was volunteering for it. If you want a demo of what I've done with my team, don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi, I'm working on a similar project (not MM related) in the sense that it's also retro style. The engine we are using is actually the original SCUMM engine v6 which was used to make DotT. I've developed a compiler called ScummGEN which lets you build these games and can be run with ScummVM. I would...

Actually, he wouldn't need to release his whole game under GPL, as nothing is statically linked to ScummVM. If he uses a modified version of ScummVM, then he would need to release the modified source only, wouldn't he ?

Another way to get to a certain room in the game without save games is to use boot params, as described on this page :

AGS is probably what you are looking for if you don't care about the games being run with ScummVM or not. It has a big community and can create games which can be run under Windows and Linux (I don't know about MacOSX). I'm also developing ScummGEN which can create SCUMM games (I'm actually working ...

Hi Kirben, Thanks for the quick response. One thing which is not totally true though, is that even if the user doesn't specify a text speed in ScummVM's configuration (I never did it myself), the first time a script will set VAR_CHARINC, the configuration will be updated. This means that even if the...

VAR_CHARINC issue in SCUMM

Hello, For my project, I ran into a *possible bug* in the SCUMM engine using ScummVM 0.13.1, linked to the text speed when actors speak. If the user writes to ScummVM conf's manager to the variable "talkspeed" (this can be set via one of ScummVM's menus by changing the voice speed), this w...

ScummVM is a VM in the sense that it reads bytecode from different games. As a simple example, we can mention the SCUMM engine which reads compiled scripts (bytecode) from resource files.

A quick update to this thread: Apparently, SMI:SE uses the SCUMM engine also. They definitely made some modifications to it in order to support high res graphics, but well... Here is an extract from Craig Derrick's facebook "interview" (he is the game producer): Why only Microsoft love? Wh...

I'm not sure it's about profit loss here, but just about intellectual property. I don't believe that an engine created circa 1994 (SCUMM v6), being 256 colors and 320x200 would still bring them money today.

Hello, Even though I'm sad to hear about sev's comments, I was told by the ScummVM team some time ago about the risk of developing such a tool (ScummGEN). I am also still unsure about the copyright violation of my project - I actually didn't even reverse-engineer anything myself, ScummVM's team did ...

Nice! I'll be looking forward to that. Is it based on ScummC?
Nope, it's an entirely original project, nothing in common with ScummC, except maybe similar syntax for the some of the script features.

Hi, There's also a project I'm working on called ScummGEN (http://scummgen.googlecode.com) which has unfortunately no release yet. The project is in a very good shape though, as a lot of features have already been implemented (check out the wiki news updates for some more information). I'm starting ...

Hello, It's hard for me to compare ScummC to ScummGEN at that point. I would still say ScummC is ahead in terms of support for most of SCUMM related functionalities (which is all that matters after all), but I never really looked at ScummC properly so it's not easy to tell. I'm trying to maintain a ...
