DCFrance have posted news of CD images of the latest CVS release of ScummVM, more info --> http://www.dc-france.com/
I've tried the previous (the only officially released) release - it worked okay with my Lucasarts Classic Gems cd, but the screen position was a little but uncorrected: what about the new release? What about new features, bugfixes?
New Games:
- Added SAGA engine (for the games "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream"
and "Inherit the Earth").
- Added Gob engine (for the Goblins series).
New Ports:
- Added PlayStation 2 port.
- Added PlayStation Portable (PSP) port.
- Added AmigaOS 4 port.
- Added EPOC/SymbianOS port.
General:
- Reworked cursor handling in SDL backend. Now cursors can have their own
palette and scaling. This is used by Humongous Entertainment games now.
- Added FluidSynth MIDI driver.
- Added GUI for the "soundfont" setting. (Currently only used by the
CoreAudio and FluidSynth MIDI drivers.)
- The MPEG player could hang if the sound ended prematurely.
- Improved autoscaling GUI, which takes full advantage of your screen.
- Fixes for GCC 4.
SCUMM:
- Added support for Mac Humongous Entertainment titles.
- Added support for multiple filenames/versions using a single target.
- Implemented CGA and Hercules render modes in early LEC titles.
- Added dialogs which are shown when you modify the talkspeed or music
volume using hotkeys.
- Added support for NES version of Maniac Mansion.
- Added thumbnail support for savegames.
- Broke compatibility with HE savegame (HE v71 and upwards only).
- Added possibility to disable building of HE and SCUMM v7 & v8 games
support.
- Fixed the last few known music glitches in Sam & Max. (There are still
some - probably - minor missing features though.)
- Added support for Commodore64 version of Zak McKracken
Sword2:
- Made the resource manager expire resources more intelligently.
- Improved performance when playing the game from CD instead of hard disk.
- Simplified sound effects handling. Again.
- Code cleanups and restructuring.
- Fixed long-standing bug in decompressing sounds from the speech/music CLU
files. It was generating one sample too many, which could be heard as a
very slight popping noise at the end of some sounds. Files that have been
compressed with older versions of compress_sword2 will, of course, still
have the same error. You may want to regenerate them.
