It would be great to develop a universal system that would let us describe a game, e.g. provide screenshots, game descriptions, metadata, and package it for different platforms, so we could put them to different application distribution systems bundled together with ScummVM. For example, we could have Beneath a Steel Sky bundled together with ScummVM, with its own logo, description and instructions on how to add another game along the way. | ||

ScummVM uses software scalers for graphics enhancements. In 2012 we were running GSoC for turning them into plugins. [https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/271 That work] It was recently merged in ScummVM but could require some more love like adding xBRZ scalers. | ScummVM uses software scalers for graphics enhancements.

ScummVM requires game data files to operate. Very often, especially when copying from the old media, the files could be damaged. Thus, we need a system that could let the end-users compute all the checksums and compare them with the reference. | ScummVM requires game data files to operate.
