Title: Maniac Mansion Deluxe?
Post by: Eksyte on July 29, 2007, 06:24:00 PM

Has this ever been ported? If not, could someone look into doing it? I thought about trying to port it myself, but after reading nes6502's porting guide, I don't think I have the necessary knowledge to do that.

Thanks!

Maniac Mansion Deluxe has been made with AGS (adventure game studio) so it would need the AGS source,
however last time i checked the source to AGS was not available.

you can however try to run the linux version of AGS and then run the game with that.
(i don't know if you will need a special linux version of the game though)
(edit : yep, i'm pretty sure you will need a linux version, which as far as i know does not exist)
(edit2 : and don't bother contacting the creator of MMD, he went underground after Lucasarts sued someone about something so he decided to get out before they came after him)

also wrong forum, this is homebrew related not emulation.

Wow. All of that is crappy to hear.

Oh well. Thanks for the input and sorry for posting it in the wrong place.

You could play the original (or official enhanced) version with ScummVMx.
