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.

Changes:

Optimized some screen handling stuff, which mainly affects the AGOS engine (Simon the Sorcerer should run a lot better now).

What’s?
RS Psar Dumper is a “derivated” from classical Psar Dumper (last version of which was released by M33 Team).
Its functions are the same of classical Psar Dumper (so dump Firmware from an Official Udpater Eboot), but it’s more! Infact this version has a user interface full of colors, more interactive and especially it has the new important function to make a dump of Firmware directly on PC, without using Memory Stick!
Infact this Homebrew has a USBHostfs connection function with a PC, so the program can read eboot directly from Hard Disk (that is a good profit because new Sony Updater Eboots weigh also more than 20Mb!) and it can also dump the Firmware directly on PC, so Memory Stick is NEVER used during the process!

What is the effective profit?
1. Well, first of all homebrew does not require free space on Memory Stick (that can be full too!)
2. You spare time because you do not need to copy files betwenn PC and Memory Stick!
3. Extracting and Dumping process require a very smaller time!
An example? Look to this my little “experiment”:

Asterz is a space shooter. The special about this is, that the coder is accepting suggestions from the players and mostly even adds them up.

Release notes:

Here is the time of the version 3.2 beta 1.
This version has been tested on emulator only, as I don’t have a Nintendo DS anymore…

A memory bug has been fixed, so swapping profile should not crash anymore. Background musics and sound effects have been added. Hope you’ll enjoy it! Any feedbacks would be really appreciated.

If this version is stable (you’ve to tell me that), it would become the official 3.2.

This rar file contains only the new executable files. If you’re new to PuzzleManiak, you should download the version 3.1. Then you can upgrade to version 3.2 beta 1…

– Fixed suspend/resume mode. Make sure it’s enabled in preferences/settings when upgrading.
– Improved dynarec performance by adding more staticly allocated registers.

You need to be registered with ZodTTD’s webboard, to obtain a copy of gpSPhone. Registration itself is free.
