So from now on, everyone will demand notifications of any features available in ScummVM. Why not add screen advertising different filters? Or sound examples of different sound setups? I think this is unnecessary bloat. The simpliest solution is alreadey available - the checkbox is just enough. The o...

I'm not a fan of undithering, but m_kiewitz worked hard on this and SCI engine in general. Few years ago, having SCI games supported was unbelievable, and now it's a fact.

In the case of SCI this isn't correct. We are copying rects, when scrolling vertically and horizontally. Sierra SCI is able to scroll only part of the screen. Now to think about it, you are right, what I wrote reffers rather to games run in native environment (DOS+VGA), and not ScummVM. Secondly I ...

I tried to run your program, but I failed: I added path to dosbox and tried to run donkey, but when I double click on the game's title Windows Explorer window opens. I'd appreciate some assistance.

Did anyone manage to extract music from the game? I have unpacked the *.xwb files into wav's, but they are not standard PCM files. I tried to use xWMAEncode, but somehow it didn't work. If you had better luck than I, please post your success story. :) The filenames on the other hand seem to indicate...
