Allright...which Scumm Port Is The Best?

[$Elementchen$]

I have had my gp32 for like 5 months now...I completely forgot about SCUMM
I looked for the port of SCUMM and found like 4. Please tell me which one is the best. I dont just want to play the game, I WANT TO BEAT IT! So it needs saves!
I dont really care about sound either because ill probably be playing it in English
class anyway. Thanks for the help! Day of the tentacle rules

Yeah, SummVM worked great for me.

But I'm stuck on that bit in Monkey Island where you've entered the monkey head and you have to navigate the lava caverns...anyone remember what to do? Because bugger me if I can

 

[$Elementchen$]

Wait...which scummVM
who made it?

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I was reffering to this post:

Might be hard to see on the GP32's screen, but the head points in the right direction to go (needs to be in your hands).

dont forget to convert your music to ogg vorbis when using the great DJWillis version.
And btw yes the project is still very active

i use the other vers. - GPScumm 3c it runs faster and and the cursor moves faster

 

[Vimacs]

it dosnt run faster, only the curser is faster and its less compatible (scumm v3 vs v5)

Do both of them have good save support
I dont want to be putting in 10 hours of monkey island and beeing hartbroken when
my saves get erased or somethin like that.

Using the port by DJWillis and saves work just fine.

Ahh! Which head is that? Sounds like I'm missing something :huh: Oh well, I'll probably find out if I put in a little more time.

And I'd agree the saves work great with DJWillis' version. It uses a system identical (or very similar) to the original Scumm games, so you've got plenty of room for save files. A must for this type of game, I guess.

It's the head of the navigator.
You have to get it from the canibals (AFAIR)

Gotcha. Thanks for the help, guys...I was always rubbish at these sorts of games, even though I really like to play them
