Nope, not possible, not legal. See also Rule #0.

For some reason I am not privy to (*), XCode support is disabled in the create_project tool. You can enable it by uncommenting the #define ENABLE_XCODE in create_project.cpp on line 23. (*) The relevant commit only says "Disable XCode support by default", so I don't know if there was a goo...

Yeah, we don't help pirates. Sue us.

Editing your original post to remove the tale-telling sentence doesn't help you either.

Now move along, we don't want you here.

First of all, regarding the informations you must give in order to apply, I don't understand why you should provides informations about "Benefits to the ScummVM Community" and "Deliverables" if you apply to an idea already listed and described in the GSoC Ideas page. If nothing ...

Support has been added recently and it seems to work well. That happened after the latest stable version 1.6.0 was released, though.

To play it, you need to either wait for the next stable release 1.7.0 (which might happen soon-ish), or download one of our Daily Builds.

No idea how DotEmu evaluates affiliates, but they do apparently set 3 related cookies: "affiliate[timestamp]" (unix timestamp of when you clicked on the affiliate link), "affiliate[rid]" (the number in our link) and "affiliate[uid]" (no idea, always 4 here).

ScummVM has grown to be more than just a reimplementation of SCUMM; it's now a collection of several dozens of engines, all different and unrelated to the original SCUMM by Lucas...

In addition to our own participation in Google Summer of Code, ScummVM will also be acting as an umbrella organization for our sister project, Residua...

http://scummvm.org/data/news/GSOC-14_banner.png For the seventh year in a row, we have been accepted as a Google Summer of Code project. Perhaps it is because both our project and the program have unusual letter casing? The world may never know, but we are thrilled to be accepted again and welcome ...

Yeah, we screwed up and had some errors in the news item that b0rked it. It should be fixed now.

Unfortunately, most of the games do not run on GNU/Linux. And The Book of Unwritten Tales... Well, there's this issue that has been known for a year now, with the issue traced to the Ogre libraries the game ships with, yet there hasn't been any peep from the developer at all about it. Neither on Ste...

Lost in Time does something similar. The title screen that's shown for 5 seconds at the start of the game is using a resolution of 640x400, while the rest of the game plays in 320x200.

since the verbs, hotspot names, and objects should be known to ScummVM That's highly game/engine specific. Some engines do, some probably don't. And there's nothing in ScummVM to abstract that, to bind the hotspot concepts of different engine together and pass it somewhere. For example, for the gob...
