NEW FEATURES

(raf) TextUI: Added a new config element to specify the length of the metadata.

(raf) GraphicsUI: Removed from the build as it doesn’t work correctly with the current core.

(raf) TextUI: Added config item/implementation to provide 24/12-hour clock configuration.

(raf) TextUI: Separate config files per screen

(raf) TextUI: Metadata color is now configurable (see bug #5907)

(raf) Core: Removed local LibPSPNet; using pspsdk’s pspnet now.

(raf) Core: Added new LocalFiles screen.

(raf) TextUI: Using new screens by semtex199.

(raf) TextUI: Added configuration items to cfg file to configure the list’s titles.

(raf) TextUI: -2 in the X position for configuration items makes the item not be printed (suggested by HalfastII)

(raf) TextUI: Added support for showing the time and the battery level.

(raf) TextUI: Now files defined in playlists are displayed without the path, and the extension is only shown if configured to in the config file.

(raf) TextUI is now more configurable (for listboxes/textmode(font modes))

(raf) Added shadowed font mode for textui.

(raf) Added a genre processing/parsing stage for shoutcast.com database.

(raf) Changed the text ui layout a bit, so that the stream name has more room

(sandberg) Added a radial blur effect as a background effect on the 3D UI.

(raf) Added code to draw font with outline – thanks to Halfast for the idea.

(raf) Revamped code to handle playlists in memory.

(raf) Now shoutcast.com entries are sorted by genre

(raf) Now will reload shoutcast.com db on download. Also now include a default db.xml

BUG FIXES

(raf) ScreenHandler: Now selecting to refresh playlists in Options screen will also refresh the local files screen virtual playlists. (Bug #5904).

(raf) Core: Corrected bug #5924, if PSP/MUSIC folder was empty, the app would crash.

(sandberg) Core: VBlank fix.

(sandberg) Core: Updated to use socket headers from the new pspsdk.

(raf) TextUI: Fixed bug where localfiles where getting truncated as they were displayed.

(raf) Core: Logging instantiated in the heap instead of the data segment.

(raf) Core: Modifications to make it compatible with the latest pspsdk (r1542)

(raf) Playback: Corrected bug that caused app to crash when a stream failed.

(raf) TextUI: Made the title shorter so it fits no matter what font is used.

(raf) 0.37-pre3b: Corrected the WIFI:AUTOSTARTing.

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 game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed! ScummVM lets you run these adventures: 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 and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system. SCUMM is used for many games, including Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. This is a test release of ScummVM for the GP2X, it would be appreciated if this alpha test distribution was not mirrored and that people be directed to http://www.distant-earth.com/scummvm instead, until the port is a little more mature, to ensure people download the most recent builds.This build is still in a very heavy state of development and as such no‘expected’ behaviour can be guaranteed.Change: Alpha 6.1 seems to support Simon the Sorcerer 2.http://www.distant-earth.com/scummvm/
