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 games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!!!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more.

Changes:

– Fixed the Enter key in the VKEYBD

brkirch has released a new version of his version of Gecko OS a Nintendo Wii hacking accessory. Using Gecko OS by itself you can boot imports and use cheat codes. However, if you use it along with the USB Gecko you can hack your own codes and have access to enhanced debugging features.

Changes:

* GC memory card crash fixed thanks to Nuke
* A core dump that occurs on some Wiis when launching certain games should no longer occur
* Fixed code list start for gameconfig.txt
* A minor Ocarina fix to ensure ASM insert codes will work properly
* Exit no longer causes a core dump if Gecko was launched by a loader that lacks return to loader functionality (such as preloader); instead exit returns to the Homebrew Channel, or resets the Wii if the Homebrew Channel is not installed

GroovyBee has released a first public version of his Easter game “Harry’s Hen House”. It’s a bit similar to Chucky Egg.

Release notes:

Correction! The next release is today 😀 . I had a bit of a brainwave and hopefully I’ve made the games library work on real hardware. Would any CC2 owners like to test this version and get back to me? Can you also check if the title screen looks OK? Its slightly out in ProSystem 1.3, but should be better than Allan’s picture. If this version works then I’ll start a thread on emulator defects. If not, I’ll keep plugging away.

GroovyBee has released a first public version of his Easter game “Harry’s Hen House”. It’s a bit similar to Chucky Egg.

WIP News:

Jumping is a slightly broken at the moment and its only two levels. Hopefully I’ll get some more levels into the next release.

I’m not sure if it’ll work on real hardware but if any CC2 owners would try it, then that would be good. I’m particularly interested in checking if the title screen looks like the screenshot in the opening post and if it declares an NTSC or PAL video system found.

Any comments and suggestions appreciated.

Have fun!
