Hi guys,

I've just released a beta of my port of ScummVM. This one is based off of the current ScummVM subversion tree (0.11.0svn).

This isn't an update of my previous port, it's a complete 'do over' (as an american might say). Some (xbox specific) things are in this version that weren't in my previous port and it's likely that some things from the previous version aren't in this one.

It is something that I've had in progress for a while now, other stuff kept getting in the way so I couldn't spend time on it. Because of that it's probably not as well tested as it could have been.

That's where you guys come in - please test the hell out of it during the next week or so and post any feedback so that I know what to look at.

Please remember that this is not an official port or part of the ScummVM project itself, so lease don't go bothering those guys with any issues. If you find anything wrong, please come and tell me about it here on xbox-scene.

Merry Christmas everyone,

Carcharius

Thanks man. I have just about every other emu for the xbox except ScummVM. Guess it's time to give this one a whirl.

Superb, thx a lot and Merry Christmas!

Awesome! I was beginning to think there would never be an update to scummvm for xbox

One thing though, please add a way to adjust the screen size like older versions had
because this new version is currently unplayable for me because the screen dimensions are way out of whack.

Thanks for keeping scummvm alive on xbox!

Yes, thank you indeed for this update! I've currently tried Future Wars, I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream and Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb as well as some Sierra Games and they all work without any major problems. Today I'll test Feeble Files (reencoded video files) and maybe will be able to test some older games as well.

Problems I noticed so far:

Full Throttle won't run (black screen on startup, then reset, but could be because of some modified parameter in my scummvm.ini, I have to rule that out first, ...).

I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream has some problems with the virtual keyboard and the naming of savegames (sometimes only one letter will get displayed, sometimes it gets repeated endlessly, ...).

In Future Wars you aren't able to save, without a USB Keyboard and Adapter (which I have), because F10 isn't mappable, and your virtual Keybord doesnt include the F keys).

--

The one thing you HAVE to implement in your next build is screen resizing (for each game individually, maybe even with a aspect ratio option?) and Soft Reset to the ScummVM Launcher. Apart from that a Screenshot Option (*.png's) would be nice too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks again,

Ive noticed a few issues with broken sword 1 and 2...

broken sword 1 does not display any of the cinematics (yes i have the cinematic pack from scummvm.org)
and it also will not play the speech, it just defaults to text only with no way to turn on voice.

broken sword 2 will not display the cinematics either (again yes i have the cinematic pack from scummvm.org)
I get the message "missing cinematics go to www.scummvm.org to download"

Same copies of the games work fine in scummvm for windows, looks like its an issue specifically with this port.

I also noticed the same problem as the poster above with Full throttle.
