Scummvm and extra folder for high res image

Post by Ravippe »

Based on the Myles Johnston scummvm Ext version that allows us to use Extra folders with correctly labeled and upscaled images,
does the New versions of scummvm , the official versions allow for this ability?

im not up to date on all the readme.txt for all the new updates on each version.

I just want to know if scummvm has now incorporated the ability to add high res images in an extra folder, AND have it be detected in official versions..

The reason i want to know, is there are lots of other platforms that it works on Android, ios, etc... and that EXTRA folder would allow me to create new and innovative upscales and remakes for the general public to use here, without having to rely on an old 2021 heavily and unofficial version that Myles Johnston decided to abandon because of his unrealistic notion that he had to take down scummvm ext for something to do with microsoft buying out activision.

thanks for you help

No, it is not supported, as that would enable the distribution of copyrighted material, such as pictures extracted from the games. If there were an official version, such as a re-release, with this functionality, we would support it. Otherwise, it is too risky for the team and may put us at unnecessary risk of legal trouble.
