i take that back the menu works fine in monkey island 1, don't know what happened the first time. it seems a bit slower than the DS version or even the symbian version i have on my phone. is this an optical illusion because its bigger? if not is this something that may be improved?

I usually use my wii in hdtv mode using a vga adaptor so I can connect it to my pc's lcd screen. is it possible to use any homebrew in this setup or do I have to use the standard wii video lead and pal50 only?

If you're using your computer's monitor, why not just use the PC version?

I actually can't get this version to load at all. If I use DolTool and convert it, it recognizes it as a valid .elf file, but then halts shortly after that. If I don't convert it, it gives a "dol image detected?" line and then halts again at the same spot shortly thereafter.

I guess I should ask, is it an instantaneous load or does it take a couple minutes? I waited a minute in case there was some particular reason (it is a large file in comparison to other .elf files), but I figured it was just halted.

Are you using the Homebrew Loader that looks like the Wii menu? If you are, you can't really tell that it's loading. Just leave it there for a while and it'll work.

Preliminary tests...

1. Use this file on the Wii (the official download has a .dol which I had to convert)

2. Seems to work superbly

Pointing is nice and controlled (if you can use your pointer just power off your Wiimote then restart it and you are off)

3. Tested Broken Sword 2, Beneath a Steel Sky, and Simon the Sorcerer.

BS2 - Works fine as far as I saw - Even loaded an old gamesave

BASS - Worked fine as far as I saw

STS - Ran ok but died on saving (need an enter key!)

All in all bloody good with the need for a few minor tweaks :thumbup:

Okay...messing around, I figured out a few things.

1) The reason I couldn't get it to load before was because I didn't have the original ScummVM program, just the Wiimote edition file. :P

2) Lure Of The Temptress had some major issues with the Wiimote. If you selected an action, the Wiimote would force you to change quickly to either the first or last action in a series. Read as: You can't exit the first room of the game because once you set fire to the straw bed, when the ogre/whatever comes into the room, you have to choose "open" on the door in order to leave and "open" is a command in between "unlock" and "close"...so you can't pick it by any means. The game also crashed shortly thereafter.

3) Sam And Max plays FLAWLESSLY. I heart you, ScummVM.
