I'd just like to say...

Hi everyone, this is my first post here and i'd just like to say to the ScummVM Team that you guys rock! Seriously, ScummVM is an incredible tool, it's just great to be able to play these old classic adventure games on modern computers and on loads of different consoles.

I'm really happy with this latest release mainly for the new Broken Sword cutscenes. I can finally play them on my PSP nice and smoothly with sound. Not only that but i can play the advanced music for Simon the Sorcerer using the PSP port instead of using the default music.

The only minor gripe i have is the 'screen tearing' you get in some of these games - especially Broken Sword 1 & 2. Would it be possible to add an 'Enable Vsync' option in the next release?

Whilst here, would there be a possibility to make the first 2 Gabriel Knight games compatible with Scumm? I've noticed a number of the old Sierra games work with this so i was just wondering.

Keep up the good work guys, I can't wait for Discworld 1 & 2!

supported sierra games are based on the AGI engine
most unsupported sierra games are based on the SGI engine (at least GK1, no idea about GK2) for which there are no plans of support

A vsync option would be nice... ScummVM is almost perfect, but it does show tearing artifacts because there does not seem to be native vsync support.

Just use dosbox for GK games. It works great for GK1. I have not tested GK2 yet.

Check out http://www.gabrielknight2k.tk/ for GK1&2, the guy has made some really nice installers that make both games compatible on XP, and allows you to play The Beast Within off your hd (no more swapping six CDs!).

I've found DOSBox to be a bit buggy with GK1, and I don't know if it will even run GK2 (never tried it).
