ScummVM DS v0.11.0 beta2

[wraggster]

Agentq has released an updated version of ScummVM for the Nintendo DS, heres whats new:

Hi Everyone,

Here is a second beta version of the 0.11.0 release of ScummVM DS. It needs lots of testing, since there are so many games that I don't have time to do much of it myself. So please download it. Please post, even it it works fine!

The new scaler makes text a lot more readable, at the expense of some slowdown in some of the newer games.

New function keys should make all the AGI games playable.

This is a beta release, therefore there are not full instructions. This is designed for those who already know how to use ScummVM DS. Full instructions for the older version 0.10.0 are provided on the ScummVM DS website. Please refer to these instructions, as this beta works in mostly the same way.

Also, I have been told that the same code which runs Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max can also run some of the earlier HE games, so I have added these to the list below. They seem to work fine. Please test them too!

Changes

Beta2
- Future Wars and Gobliiins now work again
- Swapping the screens while the software scaler is enabled no longer causes odd effects


Beta1
- New games supported: Elvira 1 and 2, Waxworks (Amiga version)
- Software scaler for improved image quality. Turn it on using the DS options screen (press select during the game). Thanks to Tramboi and Robin Watts for this feature!

YAY! I've been waiting a long time to be able to finish the original Space Quest on my DS (got stuck at the slot machine which requires the function keys). And I'm still off on vacation today, but tomorrow, I will finish it.

Sweet. My vacation was improved immensely by Sam & Max - first adventure I ever finished. Looking forward to trying this new one.

Ugh, trying this just now, it's only partial function key support. Sure, I can use the F-keys to play slots, but I can't use them for menu functions, and thus saving and restoring (a necessity for getting the needed amount) requires a lot of screen-changing. So I can probably finish the game now, but it's annoying.
