The number of ScummVM supported games grows with each release. Since 0.8.0 we are performing extensive prerelease testing. Basically, it is game replaying to find regressions.

In fact there should be no changes in the gameplay in most cases, so event recording and proper replaying should be enough. There is some code for that based on the action recorder patch, but the recordings are not played consistently. The main problem is that there is no guarantee of the events to be in sync with other engine parts, so the playback may deviate, depending on the machine speed. | In fact, there should be no changes in the gameplay in most cases, so event recording and proper replaying should be enough.

The Wintermute Engine (WME) is a set of tools for creating and running graphical adventure games.

During the first semester of 2011, a WME developer, Mnemonic, created WME Lite in a move to make WME more portable. WME Lite runs "only" WME 2D and 1rst person games with a subset of available features and runs on Windows, iOS, and MacOS. | ||

This will be based on WME Lite sources, available on Google Code. | ||
