    Home/News ScummVM 1.2.0 "FaSCInating release" is here!



    Wow this release covers so many formats that ive had to make it a Network Announcement, heres the newspost from the ScummVM Team and also the downloads attached:

    CABAL (Coalesced 'Adventures beyond Architecture' League) finally came alive, and now for real. Yes, truly, it took us just 6.5 years, and today we are eagerly announcing that a universal adventure game interpreter, playing SCUMM, AGI, and SCI games has been released.

    From now on, it is available on ScummVM's downloads page (Look for version 1.2.0). You may jump straight there, or stay a bit longer and see what cool new features are included.

    As you have probably already realized, this release has support for SCI, and moreover, the list of compatible games goes beyond the original FreeSCI which was merged about 1.5 years ago. We support Conquests of Camelot/the Longbow, Castle/Island of Dr. Brain, Codename: ICEMAN, EcoQuest 1&2, all four Hoyle games, Freddy Pharkas, Jones in the Fast Lane, King's Quest I-VI, both Laura Bow games, Larry up to 6 (low-res 6 only), Police Quest 1-3, Quest for Glory I-III, Space Quest up to V and a few others. Incredible work by the FreeSCI team and our own SCI engine team!

    Early SCI 16-color games can be optionally undithered by ScummVM, making them look much better. To see a comparison between undithered graphics and the original, watch this video produced by one of our SCI engine developers and see for yourself.

    Besides SCI, we have added support for yet another Coktel Vision game called Fascination and we have a number of new ports: Android, Dingux, Caanoo and OpenPandora. Unfortunately we had to declare the PalmOS port officially dead.

    As usual there are tons of engine-specific bug fixes. Take a look at the release notes if you want to know more. But wait! We would like to tell a little bit about another long-awaited feature new in this release. After all these years we are finally going international, and the ScummVM GUI can be translated into any language (well, almost any). Right now we have Catalan, English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian localizations. Besides this there are a lot of smaller improvements like tooltips, radio buttons, improved usability and we support more games running from original media without the need to shuffle the game files.

    Enough talking! Now it is time to download ScummVM and start playing!

    Default PSP + Timidity

    I posted in scummvm forum, some guy said he was trying to add timidity support to scumm in psp... I don't know why nobody realized this.

    I tested Timidity on my PSP slim 2000, Using an instrument set I created from a XG soundfont, I reduced the samples quallity to 8 bit so the whole pack is just 1.8 MB.
    It sounds really great and timidity does not use more than 16% of the PSP CPU using 16 channels and 12% using 9 Ch (I think most games using MIDI just use 9 channels becouse opl chip just uses 9 ch for example dott).

    Hope somebody thinks about it.
