Cool! something else to keep me busy while I'm updated to 2.0 next week when I buy GTA. More devs should work on releasing 2.0 versions of their work.

ScummVM rocks. I like that this new version includes support for the SAGA engine so now I can play my copy of "I have no mouth and I must scream". Well, as soon as I re-rip it from the CD. More like "as soon as I find the CD buried in my collection".

excellent im seriously considering upgrading for gta now, and may this pave the way for all coders to consider the 2.00 eboot launcher

Go to scummvm.org and read up on how to do it.

but they aint got nothing on monkey island 2, which you can apparently still purchase from lucasarts now (sorry peeps)

how big would these games be, cause there is no point in having 1 game on your psp when you can have 500.... also how big would gobliins, goblin quest 2 and 3 be?

but they aint got nothing on monkey island 2, which you can download legally as its abandonware here check this out: ***LINK REMOVED***

Wrong. Just because a site(s) say it's "abandonware" doesn't mean the company released it into the public domain.

For what it's worth, I'm running Broken Sword 1 on a 512mb Duo Pro with about 30 MB to spare. And when that one game is so good and interesting, you will sit there and play it through until you have finished it. Then you can remove it from the stick and load up another.
Seriously, go to scummvm.org and read absolutely EVERYTHING in their documentation and instructions.
