Sierra Games Emulator

**oninotsume** · February 27th, 2006, 05:50

I know that this has been talked about before, but I can't seem to get over the idea of being able to play all of those classic Sierra/Dynamix VGA point and click titles from back in the day. It would be so sweet to play Leisure Suit Larry, Quest for Glory, Rise of the Dragon, Police Quest, Willy Beamish, King's Quest, etc. on the go.

If anyone is seriously thinking about this I'll donate!!

They made Dicworld as well didn't they? That'd be rather nice. Why doesn't someone make DosBox work properly?

What you're looking for is called an AGI interpreter. It would be a little awkward, because although the classic sierra adventure titles are similar to ScummVM style games, they rely heavily on text input. There's a really sharp AGI interpreter for GBA that finds a way around this by reading the games library files and gives you a list of verbs and nouns to use. You would select "open" from the first list, then "door" from the second. It's also open source: http://www.bripro.com/gbagi/index.php?page=download

bill00000 thanks for the information about the GBA Sierra emulator. I guess if it can be done on the GBA it's probably safe to assume that it can also be done on the PSP.

In fact I was thinking about Sierra games a little older than the EGA ones on the GBA emulator. Although those would be great, it would be even better if the point and click VGA 256 color adventure games such as Leisure Suit Larry 5, and other Dynamix games such as Willy Beamish and Rise of the Dragon were possible.

I know absolutely nothing about programming, so I can only hope and pray...for this and a CPS1 and CPS2 emulator. I wonder if it's possible to use the NeoCD DC emulator's prefetch technology for this?

It's not that simple, actually.

If you want to do a heart-transplantation, you have to study medicine. ou can't just say "oh no, i just want to know how to do a heart-transplantation".
similar to porting. if you learn how to code, you learn how to port
