Hello! Doing a quick search shows various petitions asking Disney (or formerly LucasArts) to grant Ron Gilbert a license to do "his" Monkey Island 3. This version could show the ending of the triology as it was originally intended by him and might bring a proper solution for the rather dis...

Hello! Thanks for supporting Lost-files-games. As far as I can remember the setup of "The serrated scalpel" offered two options of installation, one with compressed and one with expanded game-data-files. Unfortunately I am unable to recover all bits from my old 5,25"-FDDs, so I only h...

Just a little heads-up, in case people missed it: Hello! That's very good news indeed. Thanks for that link. And Thank You very much to sirlemonhead, his source and all ScummVM-Developers for making this happen! A.Borque Btw: I nearly forgot DOS4GW was an important part of some DOS-based games back...

@sirlemonhead:
Yes, a big "Thank you" from me, too.
Even though there are no news right now it is always good to hear things are still in progress. (This helps to be patient! )

AFAIR there is at least one somewhat more technical thread somewhere which discusses aspects of the intro and changes from there to the game.

I never intended to put pressure on anyone or anything or get on someones nerves as I know this is not a commercial project, I guess reengineering is hard work and I know you all are spending your free time on it. My apologies if it sounded like that. I am happy ScummVM is still alive and activly de...

a.borque: Slow is not quite the right English word here. As far as I know based on his statements here, only sirlemonhead has got a copy of the original sources from the developer / rightsholder and he doesn't appear to have permission to share those with the rest of the team or a random GSoC stude...

I am sure it is hard work to implement a new engine and it is difficult or even impossible for a single person in a single summer. But as sirlemonhead stated at the beginning of 2013 (and again mid 2014) there is (very slow) access to the source, so this was, what I was hoping for when suggesting it...

Hello! As there seems to be a (slow?) access to the source code but none of the active developers is in touch with the project (correct me if I am wrong), may I propose adding the lost-files-games to ScummVM for the next Google Summer of codes if ScummVM participates again? I mean there have been so...

With nearly six month passed it is time for the usual question (at least my calendar told me ;-) ):
Any news, any progress, any hope left?
If not: is there any chance to (how to) suggest Holmes-Support as a scumm-project in Googles Summer of Code (2015)?
Thanks and Greetings

Good to hear! I really love the two "Lost Files" games!
Let's hope that the data recovery does not become something like Duke Nukem Forever...

As time goes by... after nearly 6 month just a short question:
Are there any news on this? Could the original files be restored by the developer or is there any other progress on an implementation?
Thanks!
A.Borque

As some time (nearly half a year) has passed now:

Are there any news on this? Any progress in data-recovery?

Thanks an grettings

That's really great news! I am really happy. I heard rumors about continued interest in this project back in october 2012, but now it is a kind of official! I have my collection of LucasArts adventurers complete and with GOG offering nearly all old Sierra adventures (except Heart of China as far as ...

Just to keep track of this topic... are there any news on this? I know there is a wiki (where Holmes is not listed), but searching in this forum I read sirlemonhead said he is working on this (in january 2012) and john_doe also had it in his queue (back in 2009). So is there perhaps something "...
