Scumm VM Website
I realy hope tomjoad will port this again for MOS.
I am a bit scared, as butterflyvale is still gone

Pleeeeease TomJoad

I really like ScummVM, and ScummVM 0.6.0 has a lot of nice features... and those Broken Sword 1 & 2 support, Flight of the amazon queen...

I want a port of ScummVM 0.6.0 for MorphOS ;)

tomjoad, are you there? Please port it...

I tried compiling a CVS snapshot of ScummVM a couple of weeks ago, but it failed due to a missing header. I think it was called etude or something like that (?)
I did a search for it on google but didn't come up with anything useful. :(

Oh yes sure ... I've had little time to monitor this. I doubt that a simple recompile will do, I think some stuff needs changes.

Btw, doubt I can get butterflyvale back ... haven't heard anything anymore from the "hijackers".

Question #1 would be ... how do I get the sources on my Peggy without burning a new CD for it? Peggy's not online since we got WLAN. Any Mac <-> MorphOS networking tutorial out there?

Tomjoad:
Sure I gues you have at least a normal network conection
between both?
So you can either use a quick ftp conection (search aminet for rc-ftpd as a nice and easy to use ftp server) between both machines or you might try samba, which is afair available for the mac, for the peg the smbfs "file system" is enough if you just want to transfer the files from the peg (you are unable to see the drives under the Finder until you also have samba installed on the Peg)
Then there is netfs, which is also easy to use.
It is part of AmiTCP/Genesis, and should also be available for the Mac.

Samba for Amiga and the smbfs could be found here

How about a Ethernet-to-Wireless-Bridge?

LOL, see this!
!ScummVM 0.6.0 for OS4
Irony... They released before the MorphOS port

timeofonic:
Yeah, but its SDL...
However, tomjoad did a very nice job in the past
with his MOS Port.

tomjoad:
BTW, have you ever considerd to include an overlay feature?
Not that I don`t like the scale engines, nevertheless, overlay is a
very cool feature for playing Emus and such on Ambient.

Also waiting for a newer version (day of the tentacle keeps on crashing with the current one ), but I must say that tomjoad has already done a great job with the current port. Keep it up mate!

Software which could be bundled with the Pegasos? Are the licence fees high?

Quote:

Yes, I had considered this No work done on this yet though. Would be the next thing to add.

One more thing ... I don't think I'll get anything done before Easter or so. I intend to participate in a German text adventure grand prix and have to submit my entry until end of the month which of course means I have to finish it until then.

This evening was messed up by a friend who has to do a presentation tomorrow in his computer science class and I had to "fix" his text

As for connecting Mac and Peggy, I may try something as simple as this ftp thing, but of course the ultimate solution would be to have MorphOS running via VNC so that I need only one monitor and connect to internet via Mac and so on. Well we'll see.

Nah, why not use ethernet-wlan converter? I have friends that use one, one of them on his dreamcast and runs perfectly!

Your port supports OGG? Could be nice when you port it. I like see things as Broken Sword 1 & 2 on MorphOS... Why not a good and complete MUI loader? :)

An idea for ScummVM team could be that you can specific the music files and game files location, and you can make a thing as --game-data=Lucasarts:thedig/spanish --game-music=Lucasarts:thedig/music . Could seems unuseful but I think that is a curious thing...

And MorphOS gets mentioned:

TechTV

umm, why? It's freely available...

And another "problem" is, ScummVM as such doesn't do anything - it needs data files from games, and most of those are commercial. And those that aren't, likely they wouldn't be allowed to be bundled with Pegasos...

tomjoad
Until easter??? *whaaah* don`t say that`s true.
I am such an impatient person... ;D Ok I was
just kidding, good luck with your contest

For VNC there is a vnc server for Amiga OS,
AmiVNC
But I have never tried it, don`t know if this works on MOS.
The other defently won`t work, because it is a Picasso96 only thing.

Nevertheless even if you have vnc running you still need of course a data connection.

I have ScummVM Version 0.5 and 0.51 after untaring
them i tried to start the ScummVM with a double click...
does not work. In a shell typing ScummVM...does not work
saying: file is not executable. execute ScummVM says: error
in command name. What am i doing wrong???

why untar? the last archive 0.5.1 i have is a lzx.
make your you have the executable flag set!!
take a look with "list scummvm" ... if it is not set
than type "protect scummvm +rwed"

r = read
w = write
e = executable
d = delete

I have a .tgz here. Could you please point me to a place
to Download the lzx file can't find it.

the site from tomjoad is unfortunately down ...
so i cant give you a working link. the only thing we
can to is to upload this lzx file to morphzone if
tomjoad has nothing against this idea and targhan has
enough webspace.

I'll get the files up here shortly. I wouldn't mind helping get the vale back, as I liked the layout and feel of the site as much as the software.

By the way, with the old version, Full Throttle and monkey 3 doesnt work very well here ! :(
I hope tomjoad fix that too!

Yeah, same here (I was able to get out of the town before it crashed though ) and The Dig wouldn't even start, but hey, that's not a very good adventure anyway
