Bonjour bonjour ! I've been using ScummVM for so long that I thought that I might as well contribute to it after all these years, even though I'm Not a Developer™.

I currently (2022) maintain the macOS 10.4/10.5 PowerPC release, which hopefully helps preserving [[HOWTO-Debug-Endian-Issues|big-endian compatibility]] of various engines (e.g. [[Dragons]]) for various other big-endian ports (such as [[PlayStation 3|PS3]]).

Lately, I've also written some of our [[SCUMM/Game Enhancements|SCUMM enhancements]]. As a side project, I also maintain Thomas Combeleran's ScummTR translation tools for various LucasArts adventure titles.

* Upgrade the C++11 compiler from GCC 4.8.5 to GCC 7.5.0 at some point

** Official builds are currently made with the "Unofficial TenFourFox Development Toolkit", because it's much faster and more reliable to set up than a native MacPorts build. GCC 4.8.5 is a battle-tested C++11 compiler for Tiger and so it's usually the default, but GCC 7.5.0 is also an option (but its bootstrap sometimes randomly gets stuck in the <code>compare</code> phase, see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/56922)

** As of May 2024, I have a local 2.9.0pre build that successfully builds with GCC 7.5.0.
