scummvm will never support simon 3d.
ResidualVM however if someone implement it but chances are low.

Simon the Sorcerer 3D uses a licensed game engine (NetImmerse 3D), so the source code could never be provided by Adventure Soft.

If someone attempted to reverse engineer the game, I expect they could be threatened with legal action, considering the game engine is still be used for many games.

Personally I have no interest in Simon the Sorcerer 3D, although I expanded the AGOS game engine in ScummVM to cover all possible games.

These guys don't have problem with that, the reimplentation project of the Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, OpenMW, reverse-engineering the NetImmerse 3D that is: http://openmw.sourceforge.net/jaws/

It sort of relates to a thread on the ScummVM forums at the moment. That companies are less likely to have a problem with creating an open source interpreter, but will be down on you like a ton of bricks if you try to make an open source sdk for their engine.
