ScummVM is entering a 2-3 weeks test cycle before the 0.5.0 release ... and you can contribute !
Let's begin with the changes
ScummVM main changes
* Even more EGA games supported and/or bugfixed -
- be sure to check the compatibility list http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/compatibility.php
* Support for Beneath a Steel Sky (completable)
* Misc bugfixes and improvements
PocketScumm main changes
* Changes in Simon directory naming - I'm now using the same names as the desktop version - rename your Simon directory given the Compatibility table
http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/compatibility.php
(and if your Scumm game is not detected, put it in a directory named after the desktop ScummVM name as seen in the link before - it'll probably help)
* Fix Simon exit
* Fix Savegame key on EGA games
* Added support for Beneath a Steel Sky
* Add "free look" hardware key - press this key, tap the stylus around the screen to locate hotspots without walking
* Custom Smartphone key management in the .ini file (smartfon-keys section) - mouse cursor moves to stepX1/stepY1 pixels if the key is pressed once, to stepX2/stepY2 pixels if the key is held up to repeatX/repeatY times, and to stepX3/stepY3 pixels if the key is held up longer. Try it if you don't understand it
What you can do for a smooth 0.5.0
* Try to complete games on all configurations - ARM testers preferred (for obvious reasons
), but I don't want to leave MIPS and SH3 owners behind ... be sure to test ScummVM too and report your bugs !
* Try The Dig, Full Throttle and Curse of Monkey Island on recent Pocket PCs with 64 Mb RAM (full game with videos, music and voices if possible), and see if they're completable.
Report all bugs/test report/completable game report here !
