New version of the ScummVM interpreter, heres whats new:
As well as supporting all the latest updates to the main ScummVM core, I've
also added in a couple of things to enhance the ScummVM experience on the xbox.
Most noticeable is support for a virtual keyboard - hit the left trigger to show/hide that. It's very similar to the one used in the Dreamcast port, just tidied up a bit.
The other main change is the addition of some code that should improve the performance of some of the larger games when run from a dvd (Curse of Monkey Island for example). They won't be perfect, but they should be much better
than with any previous xbox version of ScummVM.
Also this release does support Roland MT32 midi emulation. If you have the correct rom files (do NOT ask me where to get them) just drop them in the folder with the xbe, then you can select MT32 emulation in the options screen. But be warned - it sounds ace, but the xbox is not powerful enough to emulate the MT32 and run the game engine. It's included more as a curio than anything.
