SCI support?

Post by fisken uno »

In recent builds it seems that SCI support is broken? ScummVM does not detect any SCI games.

Also, in the last build I have that DID support SCI, ScummVM crashes if you try to save your game which makes testing a bit annoying since you always have to start from scratch...

SCI games are not supported yet, so crashes and glitches are to be expected. As for a build that supports SCI, you could always get the daily ones built from buildbot here:

That's the point: As far as I can tell, the daily builds fetched at http://buildbot.scummvm.org/snapshots/1 ... st.tar.bz2 no longer recognize SCI games.

From what I've heard the SCI engine is not mature enough to be enabled in 1.0.0, so that's intentional. (The same is true about a couple of other, less known, game engines as well.)

Ah, ok. Will have to wait and just use the older builds I have that do work with SCI games then. :)

Thanks anyway.
