ScummVM has been ported to run on many platforms and operating systems. The following tables offer an overview of the available ports and their main features. All ports have a specific information page, but the quantity of information you find there depends on whether the port developers have extra information to go with their port or not. Information you can find on these pages include compatibility lists of engines that are available for different ports and devices, extra information on installation and usage, and any comments & personal kudos the porters would like to add. Many thanks go out to the effort of the porters!

There is Small Devices Backend in the works which is planned to be common for all devices with limited resources.

Unofficial Platforms

Besides the officially supported ports, there have been many more unofficial ones in the past. Since they were not done by us, we can not say anything about their reliability, legality, or availability, nor can we provide support for them. Use them at your own risk!
