Apple might define emulators differently, who knows...

And as for renaming the forum?

It should be noted only 2 weeks ago Apple has officially allowed emulators on their store, hope it will help: https://www.google.com/search?q=app+store+emulators&gl=us&hl=en&bih=886&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A4%2F1%2F2024%2Ccd_max%3A4%2F23%2F2024&tbm=nws BTW, can you rename the iPhon...

In that case if you can make sure other volunteers have that source code, maybe they'll be interested.

Isn't it the same source as the original version since they come in the same EXE file and get switched in real time with a click of a button?

Alright, so now that it's confirmed, I've submitted a feature request , so maybe someone else will volunteer some day. :) Shouldn't this be officially considered for Google Summer of Code 2024 ? Why implementing whole new engines before finally integrating the better version of this game? If any ca...

I read the instructions here https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/SCI/Debug_Modes which recommends copying debug scripts from Dagger of Amon Ra or Police Quest (SCI remake), but the SCI Decoder doesn't run on my Windows 10 64 bit machine, and anyway it would appear that those debug scripts wouldn't p...

I didn't say use it for that. I meant it's a quick and friendly way to prepare any kind of Windows program.

Disclaimer, ChatGPT wrote this for me, I can't code C++ :roll: It took a few attempts but the end result appears to work well, and the code appears to be fairly simple for anyone who might want to check it out. Just out of curiosity: Was this done with GPT-3 (e.g. the default version on chat.openai...

My CD version, as well as the one GOG sells, have that graphics mode when running in DOSBox, and they do have speech during conversations at least. (Can you tell I'm not at all familiar with the game?) So at any rate, I guess it wasn't dropped from all CD versions. It's way beyond my abilities to a...

No, it doesn't. The sub-engine for Amazon is based on a disassembly I did of a PC CD talkie version I had, as I recall. As far as I can remember, I never saw any special code for a SuperVGA mode in it. So it may have been dropped for that release. The weird thing is SVGA was one of the game's major...

Various SCI games had a VGA/EGA setup option that could toggle between VGA Color, VGA Grey and EGA. Just for comparison with VGA, as ScummVM plays these games in VGA (and in color), is there an option to play them in EGA or for that matter VGA but grey? It's mentioned in Understanding the graphics s...

This game runs in VGA, but the original version had a VGA/SVGA toggle buton Alt+V, whereas the Super VGA had various benefits like an always-on inventory screen.

Does ScummVM support this game's Super VGA mode?

See screenshots from the original version's manual.

True, but v2.6.0 was only announced this week.
In any case, I think it's a landmark change, 15 years in the making. I'd say the license's maker would be proud but he became persona non grata in the years that passed.

Mark it down - this new beta version finally moved to GPLv3!

Well, it's really true to never say never. 14 years later(!) I rubbed my eyes to see one of v2.6.0 beta's highlights was moving to GPLv3+.

Once it becomes official, I think ScummVM can be considered as a huge win for GPLv3.
