* Because the engine of each game in ScummVM has been rewritten from scratch, some bugs which were not present with the original game interpreter might exist in ScummVM. For this purpose, there is a [http://bugs.scummvm.org/ bug tracker] in ScummVM, where users report such findings to the ScummVM team, which are then usually fixed. Such issues surely exist, as it's impossible to check every single aspect of each game, and a full rewrite of the game engine means that there might be issues that the developer didn't find out originally.

== Supported games ==
In order to see which games are supported in ScummVM, you can check our [http://www.scummvm.org/compatibility.php compatibility page]. The game engines that ScummVM includes at the moment can be found in our [[Engines|game engines]] page, and the status of each game can be found on its individual page.
== Which platforms does ScummVM run on? ==
Check our [[Platforms|platforms]] page.
== Running games ==
=== What do I need to run a game? ===
You need the data files of the original game(s) you wish to play and a distribution of ScummVM for the operating system you are using, which can be found in our [http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php downloads] page
=== What are the "stable" and "unstable" versions of ScummVM? ===
The stable version of ScummVM has been checked for bugs, and people have completed almost all of the games that ScummVM supports using it.
The unstable version of ScummVM includes improved functionality, however, when new features are added or existing bugs are fixed, other bugs or crashes may appear, which were not present in the stable version. However, we do of course still try to make the unstable version as stable as possible.
== Further reading ==
That was a short introduction of ScummVM, we hope that we've answered most of your questions. You may now refer to the pages in this wiki for more information, our [http://www.scummvm.org/faq.php FAQ], and our [http://www.scummvm.org/documentation.php documentation page], especially the [https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/v{{StableVersion}}/README.md README] file.
