Versie 1.9.0 van ScummVM is uitgebracht. Dit programma is een 'crossplatform interpreter' voor een aantal point-and-click adventure-engines, in het bijzonder de spellen die met de Scumm-engine van LucasArts zijn gemaakt. Op die manier is het mogelijk om klassiekers als Simon the Sorcerer, Beneath A Steel Sky, Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle en Sam and Max te spelen op Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, PlayStation 3, Raspberry Pi en zelfs AmigaOS 4. De release notes voor deze uitgave zien er als volgt uit:
ScummVM 1.9.0 "Myst-ery U.F.O.s release" is out
As always, we have been busy adding more games and enhancing old ones. Now, after many years in production, we are proud to announce support for Myst and Myst: Masterpiece Edition.
Besides that, we now support U.F.O.s and the early Sierra Hi-Res adventures, namely Hi-Res Adventure #0: Mission Asteroid, Hi-Res Adventure #1: Mystery House and Hi-Res Adventure #2: The Wizard and the Princess, for a total of six newly supported games.
With this release we are switching to SDL 2, so please, report any bugs you encounter. Last time we introduced Sparkle-based updates for Mac, and now we're trying to launch it also for Windows. Hopefully, you will see it in action once we release our next version. Once again, we would like to mention that auto-updating is selected as an opt-in during your first start up. By default, if you enable it, it will check weekly for new releases. Screenshots of this in action can be seen at the WinSparkle website.
Notable bugfixes and enhancements include Hercules rendering and font for the AGI games, numerous bugfixes to SCI games, enhanced Sherlock games experience, and AmiUpdate on the Amiga port.
