I don't know about the Nintendo DS port of ScummVM, but generally speaking the original AGI version of Leisure Suit Larry 1 (the one that looks like this) is supported. The sequels and the VGA remake (which looks like this) use a different game engine, and do not work at all in ScummVM.

"Never" is a very long word, but both those games use the SCI engine, and there's the FreeSCI project for that. According to their FAQ, they're currently focusing on SCI0 and SCI01 (and SCI1 before the next stable version?) so support for Larry 6 and 7 is presumably still far away.

It is likely that someday, either FreeSCI or ScummVM will support LSL 6 & 7. But regardless who does it, it will be a *lot* of hard and difficult work to do so. So don't hold your breath on it, sorry.

Darn i wanted those games on my mobile soooooo badly, such a shame i can't get em to work on my mac with dosbox or freesci, if anyone knows how to get it to run on an intel driven macbook i'd be so happy, but i would need step by step instructions lol im such a noob lol
