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.

Getting into the x86 and/or 68k disassembly of the games, understanding how they were made is always a fun experience. It also happens that I "study" non-adventure games and rewrite stand-alone engines for them, you can have a look at the list [http://cyxdown.free.fr/ here].


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