What does the "Unsupported Games" list contain?

Post by uCallHimDrJ0NES »

I've been trying to figure it out, but I don't understand what this list is. Is it supposed to be games that play in ScummVM but aren't supported? Or something else?

Thanks!

Perhaps it is the Wiki category unsupported games that include games that are a WIP that are not functional enough yet for even testing, like the Dynamix adventures or SCI32. Of course some of them will never be supported like Grim.

@MusicallyInspired: I think he is referring to this:
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Categ ... rted_Games

@uCallHimDrJ0NES: That category and the associated games are unsupported for various reasons.

Most are playable to some extent by engines which are works in progress or under active development and will be listed with "Not supported. WIP engine is available in XXX":
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Engin ... en_Engines

Though some are listed as "Unsupported" and are actually supported by various engines being developed externally to the main source tree e.g. http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/KULT: ... ng_Saucers , but these may never be integrated and are very WIP or are in private NDA or similar repositories so will not be available yet... if ever.

A few are listed as they are sequels to existing supported games _BUT_ use a totally different engine and thus are not supported by engine X.

There are probably a few other reasons I have missed.. But mostly it is the first one ie. games which are currently unsupported, but playable in various external under-development engines.
