ScummVM v1.2.0 (Preview 1) (GP2x misc)

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.

Release notes:

Just a quick news post to announce a first preview release of the upcoming ScummVM 1.2.0 for GPH devices (GP2X/Wiz and Caanoo).

Downloads and information can be found on my site below.

Please grab the downloads off my site rather than mirroring them so I can make sure people get updates to these test releases as bugs are fixed.

PicoDrive v1.80 (Genesis emu for GP2x)

PicoDrive is Megadrive / Genesis / Sega CD / Mega CD / 32X / SMS emulator.

Changes:

*Added Caanoo support. Now the GP2X binary supports GP2X F100/F200, Wiz
and Caanoo. Lots of internal refactoring to support this.
*Enabled 32X and SMS code. It’s still unfinished but better release something
now than wait even more (it has been in development for more then a year now
due to various other projects or simply lack of time).
*GP2X: Added basic line-doubling vertical scaling option.
*Changed the way keys are bound, no need to unbind old one any more.
*Handle MP3s with ID3 tags better (some MP3s with ID3 did not lay).
*Improved shadow/hilight color levels.
*Fixed broken cheat support.
*Internal refactoring for 32x/SMS support.
*Move mapper database to external file.
*Added preliminary SMS emulation.
*Added emulation of 32x peripherals including VDP. More work is needed here.
*ARM: Added new SH2 recompiler for 32x. Some unification with SVP one.

Zelda ROTH (22-08-2010) (GP2x Game Port)

After Link’s victory over Ganon (in “A Link to the Past”), no one knows what Link’s wish to the Triforce was. But this wish reunified the Light World and the Dark World and brought the 7 wise men’s descendants back to life. Peace was back in Hyrule. But unfortunately, this wish also ressurected Ganon and his henchmen. He was preparing his revenge, but he couldn’t do anything without the Triforce. One night, a familiar voice speaks to Link in his sleep…

Zombie Sorbet v1.0 (GP2x Game)

Zombie invasion! Zombies have run amok in the otherwise peaceful town of Uebelstadt. Alas, the military does not have sufficient resources to end the threatening zombie invasion. However, a plan, to keep the zombie population from spreading, has been formulated. By feeding human brains to the zombies, these evil creatures will be kept from infesting more people until additional government funding is assigned to the military. The government has stocked ordinary ice cream vans with human brains and other delicious zombie-delicates. You are unfortunate to have been assigned the gruesome task of driving one of these vans into Uebelstadt to feed the raging zombie hordes.

How to play:
You play by selecting a zombie to get his preferred scoop. Once you have gotten the zombie’s order, go to the cone machine and make the requested cone. Then pick up the cone and take it to the brain dispenser, where you add the brain. When the order is done, bring it to the zombie. To complete a level you must make enough bloody palms before time runs out. As levels progress, you get new machines as the zombies expand their taste palette. Good luck!
