Oh my!! I haven't been on the forums here in awhile, but wow, this is INCREDIBLE! This is going to be amazingly informative for me, as an old-school PC guy who never got these synthesizers!

Still, MeddlingMonk, I think the word "interpreter" is only used to skirt the whole "emulator" stigma, and could very easily be integrated within OpenEmu. I like this strictly for the potential it offers to many of us Mac users who for too long have had emulators that either didn...

I'm also not too sure what exactly the rights issues with most of the games are currently, so I'd like to get a crash course in Sierra's game rights if someone could provide that.

Was wondering the same thing. Is this the same King's Quest & Space Quest Collections they released a few yrs ago with ScummVM?

Thank you for talking about that on your blog, sev.

I'll probably wait until more details emerge regarding LucasArts's digital distribution plans (mainly, a deal with GOG.com). That way, I absolutely KNOW it'll work with ScummVM instead of the other way around.

just in case anyone's interested - i downloaded the demo and tried to get it running using crossover games (used to run windows games) on my macbook. i ended up having to install some extra directx files, but it did work after that. unfortunately, even at the lowest resolution/graphic detail settin...

Oh goody, so it's not just me. I guess that this isn't a high priority issue, to be honest. I'll try the season play and see if that particular issue can be skirted around. EDIT: It can be skirted around, but now I've run into another problem: Apparently the audio doesn't work too well. I can't hear...

I got Backyard Football, but I have a problem: It hangs during the picking of the kids. I pick Dante Robinson, and then, without fail, right after that it hangs. What on Earth am I doing wrong, and what files do I need that HE decided I didn't need in the freaking install?? BTW, the BYF I have is th...

Oh. That kinda sucks.

Thanks for the response, Vinterstum!

Well, if LucasArts released these games to places like GOG.com, then the secondhand prices on ALL their games would drop precipitously!

BJ

Thanks for ScummC! Will attempt a play with it when I get more adept at Xcode.

Once I get the time (and my HE games [Backyard Baseball 2001, Backyard Football, Backyard Football 2002, Backyard Soccer MLS Edition, and Backyard Basketball]) and I scrape together the money for the iPhone Developer Program, then I'll give them a shot on ScummVm on my Mac and my iPhone.

Vinterstum-- I don't know if you got the MacHeist 3 bundle yet ($39 for 12 great apps, don't lollygag, it's not going to be available much longer at macheist.com), but there's an app called PhoneView from Ecamm Software in the bundle. One of the main functions is to do what Apple won't allow you to ...

Pay the $99 for the iPhone developer program. That's really the only way.

BJ

So theoretically ScummVM could come pre-loaded with the freeware compatible games or the original copyright-holders could release their games with a ScummVM wrapper? That actually sounds like something remotely doable, if the iPhone coders created basically a codebase to use for bringing these apps...
