What about the tools? Will they get updated, too? I tried to extract the files from the German NES MM, but it doesn't work since it's not recognizing the ROM contents. Thanks if it can be updated in the near future.

No, they will not. And why do you need to extract MM NES? Run it directly from .prg. Name it "Maniac Mansion (G).prg" and it will be recognized.

OK, I don't need to, but it would be neat. Besides, when I try to restart the game with F8 I get an error. It works fine already, but maybe this could get updated when tools for ScummVM 0.9.0 are needed.
