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. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.

Here comes a Joystick Library, which might be useful for the one or other coder.

Quote:

Copy the file “joystick.inc” to your game folder.
In your programm use

#include “joystick.inc”;

and in the main process or where needed, call the function

init_controls();

This will setup a process to get the Wiz key status.
After that you can check the JOY array, e.g.

JOY[BY] = Button Y
JOY[START] = Menu Button
JOY[SELECT] = Select Button
