'''A''': You can find the list of supported games on the compatibility page | '''A''': You can find the list of supported games on the compatibility page at http://www.scummvm.org. Note that ScummVM is NOT an emulator. The supported games engines have been painstakingly rewritten. It's not easy to add support for a game you want that currently isn't supported. | ||

You need to rip those to MP3/Ogg (MP3 is preferred), naming them track1.mp3 track2.mp3 etc. and copy them to the same directory as the game datafiles for music to work. | ||
'''Q''': Game X crashes, or feature Y doesn't work. Can you fix this? | '''Q''': Game X crashes, or feature Y doesn't work. Can you fix this? | ||
'''A''': Possibly. | '''A''': Possibly. Because of the large amount of games ScummVM supports we obviously haven't played them all start-to-finish on the PSP, so it's possible there are bugs or issues that we're not aware of. When you encounter such a bug, please use the "Bug Tracker" you find linked on the ScummVM website, and mention all relevant info i.e. that you're using the PSP version, which ScummVM version it is, if the problem exists in a recent PC version, a detailed description of the problem, and if at all possible a nearby savegame. This will make it much easier for us to reproduce (and hopefully fix) the problem. | ||
