ScummVM

As some of you may have noticed, the Mac OS X version of ScummVM 0.9.1 had some issues when running on PowerPC machines, particularly when playing MP3 encoded sound. A new build (0.9.1a) is now up on the downloads page, for anyone affected (All versions beyond the Mac OS X version remain the same).

We are pleased to announce the 0.9.1 ScummVM bugfix release. There were lots of important bugfixes and small improvements. We are also glad that three additional platforms are now officially supported: Nintendo DS, GP2X and GP32. You can already ... [More] download official DS and GP2X binaries, and the GP32 port will be available soon. Some of the most significant bugfixes are: Many fixes for Humongous Entertainment games and better support for international versions of the games Improved detection of the FM-TOWNS version of Indy3 Several fixes for The Feeble Files and more non-English versions are supported now Some parts of the Kyrandia engine were rewritten so the game needs less CPU power now, and thus works better on lower-end devices The PSP, PS2 and WinCE ports were greatly improved The PalmOS port is again up-to-date and features separate build for Tapwave Zodiac The WinCE port supports 2002 devices again For the complete list read the release notes. As usual, the builds are located on our downloads page. [Less]

As regular ScummVM web-viewers may have noticed already, we have removed the Paypal button from our site and no donations are currently being accepted. Paypal has informed as that all software capable of playing a game on a system 'it was not sold ... [More] for' is in violation of their AUP. Please feel free to e-mail [email protected] and express your disappointment at their policies... Which make absolutely no sense for a project like ScummVM, which is often actively assisted by the original game developers and studios, even to the point of being shipped by Sold Out in their Broken Sword 1/2 compilation. We are investigating alternatives for a donation system, if any of our users would like to put forward a suggestion of a safe, open-source friendly system please let us know in the "Paypal Sucks" forum thread.

It may be a while until all mirrors pick up the file, so be patient. [Less]
