I was curious as to what you would project if the system requirements of a DOS port would go down, as this is what I predict because the programming in SCUMMVM is probably more efficient. To the other guy, I a...

I would like to take a computer with lots of RAM, take a computer with a fast CPU, see if they will run.... I wo...
