I joined the project at the end of 2003, initially to add support for Flight Of the Amazon Queen. I started RE'ing the original executable, but things turned out that Endy succeed in getting the source, which made the work easier :p

I mostly concentrate on the engines part of ScummVM, the most interesting part of the project to me :). Getting into the x86, 68k disassembly of the games, understanding how they were made is always a fun experience.

Here's the list of my contributions to ScummVM so far (in a more or less chronologic order) :

  • QUEEN: support for PC versions
  • SCUMM: HE Wiz related stuff
  • SCUMM: HE AKOS/AUX related stuff
  • SCUMM: SMUSH codecs 21/44
  • SCUMM: SMUSH codec 37 sub 1 (only used in FT demo)
  • KYRA: initial Kyrandia 1 reverse engineering
  • KYRA: initial Kyrandia code (introduction sequences, initial code base)
  • SCUMM: v7/v8 bug fixes (palettes, charset/blastexts...)
  • SCUMM: HE flood fill
  • AGOS: DXA reverse engineering (ok, was an easy one :p)
  • SCUMM: HE CUP player
  • TOUCHE: initial code base, support for PC versions
  • QUEEN: support for Amiga versions


It also happens that I rewrite non-adventure game engines and release stand-alone interpreters for them. You can have a look here for the list.
