-|One of the biggest things missing in ScummVM is a good manual helping new users (and to a degree also experienced ones) with problems they have. This starts with how to obtain and install ScummVM on your favorite device, to how to copy file data to it and how to add it to ScummVM, up to specific issues with the games.

-There is a work in progress [[User_Manual|manual]]. This is very incomplete, and '''we need your help to finish it!''' For details, go to the [[User_Manual|manual]] page!
