ScummVM run on a great variety of platforms, ranging from full-blown personal computers running Windows, Linux,  Mac OS X, etc.,  to game consoles, smart phones and PDAs (sorry, no support for toasters yet :).

In its present state, it fulfills our absolute minimal requirements. However, the abstraction level it provides is flawed and likely should be overhauled / redesigned. Also, not all parts of ScummVM strictly use this API; there are still many parts of ScummVM which try to work with "paths" to access file data.

To work on this, you should be familiar with at least Windows and Unix, ideally more, and be willing to learn about the differences between file systems on many different platforms (our team will be happy to help you with this). You will have to design a revised FilesystemNode API, and implement it, based on the needs of ScummVM engines and infrastructure code (requiring close communication with the rest of the team).
