Heres the release notes:


INSTRUCTIONS

1. Copy the files in the archive to a folder named scummvm within your SD Card.
2. Copy any games supported by ScummVM to your SD Card.
3. Insert your SD Card adapter with the prepared SD Card into Slot A of the GameCube.
4. Run scummvm.dol either using SDLoad or any method of your choice.

For those of you who dont know heres what scummvm is:


ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more.

The second version got the same bug as the version before...
I use it on my SDGecko and it cant find the "scummvmf.bz2"-file becase it looks after "scummvmf.bz2.". I dunno if it is important, that there a last dot at the filename...
