In this context, talking of running homebrew programs and enjoying the console's other possibilities, I can't help but mention the GP2X... :) It is really Horses for courses, ScummVM is good on all the mentioned platforms, weigh up what else you may what to do when making your choice :). I'd like t...

Beware of the "hidden costs" though. For a DS, you need to buy flash card and stuff to be able to play homebrews. (as far as I know) For the psp you have to buy a memory stick (I recommend 1 or 2 GB). You may also consider other advantages of these handled when you take your decision: the...

Ok thankyou everybody for the helpful replies.Recently I have been heavily considering buying the GP2X based on how open-ended it seems.Does anybody here own it?Also is there anybody that has tried running Lucas games on it,and how satisfied were you with the experience? I'm awaiting delivery of my...

Flashing the DS BIOS is not necessary. You can just get a NoPass cart, and stick that in to run ScummVM. With many of the modern card readers, it's as simple as putting the executable and the game on a flash card, and turning on. And you can't beat the price of the DS. Then again, a NoPass cart isn...

Here's some input from another user who has neither a PSP nor a DS but opinions on them nonetheless. :) Both machines are very closed, and in order to run ScummVM on them you will have to flash them with altered BIOS images, a risky process at best as you might easily brick your unit. If ScummVM is ...

I know this is not exactly about the original topic, but it's related. I have an old PocketPC, an HP iPAQ 3950 which has a 3.8" TFT 320x240 screen, and I also have a 1 GB SD card. I was thinking on buying a GP2X which seems very appealing, but do you think I should use the PocketPC instead to ...

Hi all there, I want to know if Sierra's puzzle game can be manipulated so it can run with scumm on my Ipaq3950.I have the game on my harddisk (pc) and would like to play it onmy ppc. So if there is anyone who can help me with this,please let me know. :?: :idea: There's a port of DOSbox for PocketP...

Continuing the GP2X line of thought, is there any word on the quality/open-ness of the XGP ? The GP2X has reportedly been the subject of some complaints regarding their failure to comply with the GPL and their addition of DRM to the device. The GP2x has had problems with the third party software de...

The GP2X seems like a great little device, and I'm very tempted to get one for myself. It most likely has the power to play every ScummVM game, but lacks a touch screen for control, which is a shame. Also, there aren't really commercial games for it in any quantity, so it would be a homebrew-only d...

In particular, them releasing source for Bink under the Shared Source license doesn't mean, for example, that we are allowed to reverse engineer Smacker. Finally, even if RAD officially released the Smacker source code under the Shared Source license, we couldn't use it, since this license it is de...

There's also the strange issue of Microsoft releasing MechCommander 2 under their Shared Source license (which is approved by OSI as an Open Source license). MechCommander 2 movies are encoded with Bink, and Microsoft claims that the source code package includes "everything needed to compile a ...

What I want to do: -play the PC version of Monkey Island 2 because it has more music -take the mp3s of the amiga version and plug add them because they sound much better Is there a way to do it this way ? It's very important to me to play this game with original amiga music but without an emulator....

Do you see any chance that Blade Runner could be supported in future? Maybe you have some connections to Westwood (or EA) because of the kyra engine. Chances are next to 0; the WW connections didn't help for kyra and Blade Runner is newer than that. In addition, Blade Runner is licensed in several ...

Legend of Kyrandia is completable, with some minor glitches.

Tested on Win32, SVN build 2006-06-01.

I have reported whatever glitches I found to the bug tracker.

Imo the best way would be to extract the music files from the amige versions. EVERY andventure had a better sound/music quality on amiga. That's debatable. The recordings I've heard of the Amiga music from The Secret of Monkey Island didn't impress me. I much preferred the audio tracks from the PC ...
