ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Running ScummVM
[edit]
Launch
- You can run ScummVM games using iLaunch or ZeroSlackr (http://sourceforge.net/projects/zeroslackr/) (which, by the way, uses iLaunch).
- A quick and dirty method is to directly call the ScummVM binary from loader.cfg passing two arguments:
scummvm --path=/path/to/gameid gameid
[edit]
Commands
- Menu is UP
- Play/Pause is DOWN
- Forward is RIGHT
- Rewind is LEFT
- Scroll Left is LEFT MOUSE BUTTON
- Scroll Right is RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON
- Center Button is LEFT MOUSE BUTTON
- Hold is ESC
Clicking on the right target is tricky sometimes as pushing one button also generate scroll event from the touchpad but, at least, now we've both left and right mouse button :-p
[edit]
Additional infos
- itsdvw original source code is still avalaible, you can get it with:
svn co http://opensvn.csie.org/ipodscummvm/trunk/scummvm - You need to play around with your config file in order to have a working installation, a vital entry is autosave, so set it ;-)
