what now?

Don't be dumb

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!

Hmmm, what other portable devices are supported?

I'd love to know if there's much support phonewise

Which leads to Illegal Copies of Copyright Material.
Which leads to Movie Piracy.

Not the best example but you get my point.

Great reply

 

[Duouk2000]

It's an interpreter, not an emulator. There's a keen difference.

 

[m4cc45]

Also some of the games have been released free. Great way to get into old school adventuring!

Yarrrrrrr! (Pirate impression may get the thread closed - sorry!)

Strange logic yes, but I'm pretty sure that general emulator talk here is forbidden for that very reason.

However, I'd imagine they might be more lenient with ScummVM here, since its actually just designed to aid existing, non-working games, than it is with console emulators and the complete illegality of owning anything official that runs on them (no, you really aren't allowed ROMs if you have the original game).
