ScummVM 1.6.0 is Available Now 01 Jun, 2013 / 3 comments

By Jennifer

ScummVM, the program that lets you play classic adventure games on modern computers, consoles, phones, and tablets, has been updated with support for four new engines, bringing support for six new games: 3 Skulls of the Toltecs, Eye of the Beholder, Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon, Hopkins FBI, Tony Tough and the Night of Roasted Moths, and The Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime.

In addition to the new games, there's support for the Macintosh version of Discworld 1. And, of most relevance to Mojo readers, music is now improved in the Macintosh version of many LucasArts adventures. If you're not interested in Macintosh versions of adventure games, this version comes with major bugfixes to the bike fight sequences on Old Mine Road in Full Throttle.

There are also other changes included as well, such as an update to the latest Roland MT-32 emulation code, a new grid chooser for save games, an extended FluidSynth configuration dialog, and Belarusian, Finnish and Galician translations for the GUI dialogs.

    That snippet was pretty much copied verbatim from the blog post on the ScummVM website.

    Thanks for the clarification though. I've updated the post to say sound support has been improved, rather than newly supported.

    Hm, yeah I should probably go and fix that. ;)

    That's pretty misleading. Loom previously had no support. MI1, Indy4 (68k) and MI2 all tried to play through GM and sounded terrible. The rest of the LucasArts Mac games have always had sound.
