I think the only thing that scummvm could do would be to be able to spit out all the environment and situation information needed for a bug report (os, arch, scummvm version, compiled in features, game version etc the version command line option does some of this at the moment) that could then be co...

I thought the reason for the flickering head was that the original textures contained multiple layers for the mouth movement and the current tools can't recreate them. The different heads for the jaw movement seems to work just not the textures. I think there are multiple models for each character w...

I would guess because none of the developers have a Windows Phone or they don't have any interest in the platform. And no one has joined the team to develop a port.

Add show_fps=true to the [grim] section of your .residualvmrc

Possible, but it would likely cause gameplay issues. If you wanted to do that, it would be best done in Residual itself, rather than editing the backgrounds. It could just hide those parts of the image. But when you don't have many pixels to start with (640x480), you can't really afford to lose any...

The alternative for wide-screen support is to crop the image top and bottom making sure to crop so that no puzzles or objects are lost.

This obviously isn't a favourable solution but it is an option.

The official patch includes an extra lab file that I assume takes precedent if there is a duplicate file right?
So what if you include in the patch extractor a process that will take the incorrect script from the original lab, fix it and then insert it into the lab file from the patch.

Can't it be done on the fly whenever residual opens that script it substitutes the correct line?

I was going to try this fix but unfortunately mklab doesn't compile for me at the moment. I've submitted a bug report http://github.com/residualvm/residualvm-tools/issues/19.

Maniac Mansion Deluxe uses a dll plugin so that would have to be open sourced or reverse engineered too.

Couldn't a utility be created to patch the game files?
Or when that script is loaded substitute the incorrect line at runtime?

There is a reimplementation outside of scummvm here: http://github.com/Blaizer/Neverhood/commits/master No, that is not what I mean, and I never heard of this effort. And implementing it in Perl... well... One of ScummVM developers is working on it and more than half of the hardcoded scenes were al...

Igor: Objective Uikokahonia There was an engine in development, unfortunately it never got far and was even removed from the project. Seems like this was one of the harder games to reverse engineer, I wouldn't expect anyone else picking this up anytime soon. Wasn't there a more advanced version of ...

If you wanted to use opengl you could build it for Residual instead.
