Re: [Solved] ScummVM does not start on Windows 10

No problem at all - thanks a lot for your report! Especially this shortly after a release, we are always thankful if we get reports that could indicate a problem we missed.

Re: Which games would you like to be supported on the future?

Hello ! I have a dream… would it possible, eventually, to have maupiti island and Dune ? These games, especially Amiga versions were masterpieces. Have a great one and thanks for your amazing work !!! Well, let's put it that way: There's a non-zero chance that one of the games you mentioned might b...

Re: [Solved] Broken Sword 1+2: game data not found after ScummVM restart

Yes, because older versions accepted everything that looked remotely like a Broken Sword datafile. Since this caused _lots_ of issues due to bad or modified copies, we now follow the same strict principle as we do in the other games.

Modified versions are not supported anymore.

Re: [Solved] Broken Sword 1+2: game data not found after ScummVM restart

In case you have a modified text.clu file, this behavior is expected since this file is part of the detection tables for the various BS games and thus must not be modified.

Re: ScummVM does not start on Windows 10

Maybe check your video drivers, I'm a bit worried about VSync and the lack of shader support.

There are no plans to bring back Windows XP support. FLAC is not supported in the Windows 9x builds for now.

Re: 2.7.1 WinXP-win32 builds don't work under WinXP SP3

Yes, the Windows 95+ zipfile is compatible with Windows XP as well. Even though we currently don't have an official 2.8.0 for it, we still have the proper toolchain and might be able to build it. So not all hope is lost. You can use the Windows 95+ builds for XP and Vista and the "official"...

Please read a few posts above: However, the XP builds are most likely gone, since you'll be able to use the Win9x builds for them as well. Additionally, I'm about to switch to MSYS2 for the Windows release builds which will drop support for 32bit and outdated Windows versions in the future. Since yo...

There's a high chance that the Windows 9x builds will return. However, the XP builds are most likely gone, since you'll be able to use the Win9x builds for them as well.

Re: Escape from MI on Mac

Running it without ScummVM might be difficult, you could try to run it with WINE, but I don't know how well this works on M1 devices. The stable version of ScummVM doesn't include Monkey Island 4 yet because it is not considered to be fully stable. However, you can run it with the latest development...
