Official portsSome additional links for ports that have been merged into our CVS Information about the PocketScumm port. For help and discussion relating to PocketScumm. News and information about the PalmOS port. Information about the GP32 port. Unofficial portsThere are a few unofficial ports of ScummVM floating around. Usually we prefer to merge any ports into our official CVS, but for the following this has not (yet) happened for various reasons. Note that the ScummVM team does not endorse any of these ports. We did not test them, and we do not guarantee that they work properly. Use at your own risk! Homepage of the 68k/WarpOS port of ScummVM for the Amiga. Requires 020+ and AGA chipset or RTG Zorro card An archive of older Amiga ports of ScummVM An unofficial port to the Sony Ericsson P800 running Symbian 7.0. A port to RISC OS. Another (older) port to RISC OS. It's extremly dated (based on ScummVM 0.1.0). Libraries & TechnologiesThe following lists some libraries and technologies ScummVM makes use of (depending on which system your run it and which configuration is chosen). SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) is a cross-platform multimedia
library, and used by the primary backend of ScummVM. MAD is a high-quality MPEG (MP3) audio decoder. ScummVM
optionally supports playback of CD tracks and other audio data
encoded using MP3. Ogg Vorbis is a fully open, non-proprietary,
patent-and-royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio
format. ScummVM optionally supports playback of CD tracks and
other audio data encoded using Ogg Vorbis. FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Grossly
oversimplified, FLAC is similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning
that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality.
ScummVM optionally supports playback of CD tracks and other
audio data encoded using FLAC. libmpeg2 is a free library for decoding mpeg-2 and mpeg-1
video streams. ScummVM optionally supports playback of
converted cutscenes in the Broken Sword games using libmpeg2. Scale2x is a real-time graphics effect able to increase the
size of small bitmaps guessing the missing pixels without
blurring the images. ScummVM optionally supports enlarging the
game graphics using this scaler. The hq2x/3x/4x filters form a family of fast, high-quality
magnification filters. ScummVM optionally supports enlarging
the game graphics using these scaler. Other sites of interestThe following are links to sites that provide news and help on retro-gaming or are otherwise of interest. VOGONS is a large forum site, offering supports and tips for people
