Project Log: ScummVM for the GP2X

This project log contains information on my, now official, port of the wonderful ScummVM virtual machine to the GP2X platform.

0.9.1 preview 1 released.

Well this is the 1st official 0.9.1 GP2X preview build up for people to take a look at and report bugs back. There is still some way to go for a decent release and this is really for bug catching and compatibility feedback.

Changes in this build:
  • Built from latest 0.9.1 pre-release SVN
  • Default location for save games is in the saves folder under the ScummVM.gpe
  • Uses Modern theme by default not Classic
  • Has "zoom" mode for larger games (toggle with L-Trigger and Y in game)
  • Lots of other fixes and bugs yet to be found ;)
Notes:
  • Please make sure you do not have a .scummvmrc (config file) in your ScummVM.gpe folder. A new clean config is a must as config handling code has changed.
  • Do make sure you scan over the README-GP2X.html - It has been HTML'ised to make it really easy to read ;).
  • For feedback on the build there is a forum post in ScummVMs GP2X forum.
Known Issues:
  • Exiting ScummVM hangs the GP2X (well it does not correctly launch the menu again). This will be fixed in the next preview.
Download:
If you want to post information about preview builds on news sites please do, but a link back here for the download would be great to save preview/test builds getting littered all over the place.

Thanks for the comments all.

"damn, this version crashes always when quitting. the skywalker port does not. i'm using firmware 2.0."

See the known issues above. This is a bug that crept in at the last minute. Expect it fixed in the next release.

Regards,

John Willis

All works pretty well so far. Sometimes it crashes when I shut scummvm down and the fighting sequences in Indy & the last crusade don't work yet.
