FreeSCI Dreamcast News

[wraggster]

Phantom has posted asking if people are still interested in FreeSCI for the Dreamcast, so if you want him to work on it and release new versions then reply via comments and let him know

Hi all,

FreeSCI's "glutton" branch is expected to become the stable branch in the near future. I'm unsure whether continuing to maintain the DC port is worthwhile. Is anyone still using FreeSCI on DC?

Remember make your voices heard

So its some sort of a emulator right? If it means more for the Dreamcast then I'm in!

[Eviltaco64]

It seems that the Dreamcast has been getting some more attention recently

[pang1978]

Yes. I would like to see a new port for the Dreamcast.

If you want that he reads what you say, post in the DCEmulation.org forums.

He doesn't read this forum.

What is SCI?
SCI, which Sierra referred to as both the "SCript Interpreter" and the
"Sierra Creative Interpreter", is a p-machine style virtual machine for executing platform-
independant, object-oriented code. SCI was designed for 16 bit little endian computers, although
there were later attempts to create 32 bit versions, LSCI, and SCI32. SCI was exclusively
used by Sierra On-Line, Inc., to run its computer game series, with titles like Leisure Suit
Larry 2-7, Space Quest 3-6, King's Quest 4-6, Quest for Glory 1-4, and several others.
