Operation Stealth isn't officially supported as of 2018-09-05 but according to digitall it is completable with graphical glitches (See forum [http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=14362 thread] and Cine-engine's [http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Cine/TODO TODO]).

== ToDo ==
== Final development ideas for [[AGI|AGI]] ==
 
=== Main ToDo items ===
 
* Fix AGI-related bugs
* Finish Apple IIGS sound support for the AGI-engine
 
=== Minor ToDo items ===


* Update [http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles#AGI info on AGI datafiles] to include Apple IIGS related files etc
* Map Apple IIGS AGI games' MIDI instruments to General Midi and/or Roland MT-32
* Disable CGA rendering for AGI256 and AGI256-2 games
* Add option for always adding Slow/Normal/Fast/Fastest to AGI games' menus
* Add priority drawing for cels in AGI256 and AGI256-2 mode
** This isn't present e.g. in Apple IIGS version of Black Cauldron
* Check if saving & restoring in AGI games is broken when using the 2 argument version of adj.ego.move.to.x.y-command
** Do the scripts only add speed controls if vComputer isn't AppleIIGS?
* Do some ''funky'' stuff to convert AGI games to support different aspects ratios besides 320:200 (e.g. 16:9 or 21:9)
** Using a form of content-aware scaling and possibly somehow correcting horizontal values in scripts from 0-159 to 0-X where X <= 255
* If Apple IIGS AGI games all work correctly in ScummVM then perhaps GOG could legally sell and support them using ScummVM?
** This way more people could be made aware of the most aurally advanced (Including MIDI and samples) AGI game versions i.e. the Apple IIGS versions
