Support NeoGAF

[Fusebox]

If anyone is into classic games on the go, ScummVm is running perfectly on my N95 and it should work with any S60 v3 Nokia. So far I've tested it with Sam & Max and Indiana Jones, and all the dialogue, sounds and animations are perfect. Also the games can essentially be played with one hand as the cursor and select buttons are all on the right of the phone (as ScummVM automatically uses your screen horizontally)

Get the S60 v3 sis file here:

http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php

Key commands:

S60 devices: (Control Key = 0, pressed simultaneously with other keys to activate the mode changes in SDL)

* 0+1 = change Input Mode: Joystick | Keyboard | Cursor
* 0+2 = change Video Mode: ShrinkedLandscape | ShrinkedPortrait | ZoomedPortrait
* 0+3 = change Orientation Mode for ShrinkedLandscape: 90° Left | 90° Right
* 0+4 = Toggle between stretched and non-stretched modes for S60 V3 devices.

Or press * to bring up the options menu to let you change the volume of music, s/fx and speech and also to choose between subs, speech or both.

I can't post a photo of it running on my phone, coz my camera is in my phone, but here it is running on some other Nokia:

So far ScummVM is a surprisingly good fit for mobile gaming. It doesn't rely on fast button pushes which most phone keyboards are incapable of, you can save at any point and the old point'n'click adventures just seem really suited for playing out and about. I've only restarted playing Indy but I'm looking forward to playing through al the old titles ScummVM works with, I just hope it doesn't struggle with Full Throttle when I get to it.

Do want.

Good phone, eh Vook?


edit: While we're here, is there any other software for the phone that I should know about? Are there any worthwhile freeware games?

Excellent phone, has WLAN in it to a good program to use is Fring, has skype and MSN in and its free.

Don't know of many if any freeware games but Brothers in Arms is pretty good.

 

[alistairw]

Ehh, played it on DS.

This works a treat, by the way. Congratulations to the team who worked on it. It's a great piece of software, and is now handily located on my list of standby icons.

Bloody typical -- I just got rid of my N80

 

[nofi]

That's my phone. Well, not my actual phone, but it's the same model. Mine must be v3 then, cool. =) Monkey Island here we come.

Demo of a SCUMM game?

 

[pringles]

Awesome. This is exactly what I was hoping for when i bought a N95.

Remember that ScummVM supports AGI, too. Gobliiins, Goblins 2 and Goblins 3 FTMFW.

Nice post, I will try this later on my E90. Should look and play great on big wide screen display... and with QWERTY -keypad!

 

[alistairw]

Its on the SCUMMVM website...

Oh, no kidding? I didn't even notice.

 

[Cdammen]

Nooo... my phone is a S40

 

[Router]

Nice... Another reason to pick up an N95 that I really dont need.

 

[quetz67]

Is it touchsceen? I am pretty unhappy with my W950i, although it runs ScummVM nicely

 

[Alpha_eX]

This is great, now I don't have to lug my DS around when I want to play Monkey Island or BASS on the go. Is the support the same as the DS version or are more games compatible, such as, The Dig and Full Throttle?

Side question, E65, worth buying? Getting a new phone today.

I like it. Does more or less everything I would want from a phone. I'm sure there are people who would tell you that it's not all that and a pack of cigarettes - so to speak - but, ehh.

 

[borghe]

lol... I have been waiting to pounce on an N75... this is awesome news!!

 

[adamYUKI]

Hi Guys - this sounds awesome. I installed ScummVM on my N95, but don't know how to install the Monkey Island demo. Please help! Where do i extract the zipped files to? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anywhere man and get ScummVM to look for them, the SVM site has the files lists your'll need to copy over I just moved it to the other directory on my Micro SD.

And the E65 seriously rocks! No front camera though

 

[Project Midway]

Works nicely on my E90 Communicator. Sorry about the ceiling lamp reflection on the screen :\

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Works well on my P1:

Project Midway: You've got 2 E90's? It's just I notice you've taken a photo of your E90 with an E90... :lol

 

[adamYUKI]

For the demo to work, do i have to have the original game? Stupid question, i know...but please humor me....

 

[Fusebox]

No idea sorry Adam.

First real downer I've found though: Whack-a-rat in Sam & Max is impossible to beat using your phones d-pad. I haven't played Sam & Max in years though, can anyone remember if I even need to beat the mini-game to proceed? Or maybe I should try pairing a BT mouse with my phone, that'd make all the Scumm games a lot easier to play. Hmm...

For now I've just saved my progress and moved onto Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. The voice-acting is so good!

 

[DDayton]

It's criminal that we aren't seeing ports of these titles on modern systems. Come on, George... tell your folks to slap 'em on the Wii.
