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!

Gendal has released an update for his PSP game Angband, With those included notes :
This is just the eboot files for 1.5 in their respective directories. It should include Abszero’s screenshot function I left out earlier and it doesn’t overclock the cpu now. Abszero is pretty busy atm so not sure when a real release will come out so if you are adventerous you can try this out. I suck at packaging things up and getting them ready for mass consumption, so be warned =p
