Lucasfan Games?

This may or may not be discussed in some other thread (I could not find it in another thread, please dont flame me if it has been discussed!)

Does anyone know if it is possible to run the lucasfangames in ScummVM?

Both the new maniac mansion deluxe and The New Adventures of Zak McKracken
look exactly like the other 'real' scumm games, question is if it is possible to play
them on the GP32 or on ScummVM?

Does Anyone know?

They aren't, they use a completely own engine.

The only way would be if the guy who wrote AGS were to port it across. Which is unlikely - iirc he's kept it closed-source (can't remember the reasoning, but it made sense) and isn't doing port requests. Quite apart from the fact that, if I remember correctly, it relies quite heavily on Windows archetecture and such. Could be wrong, though...

I had the same question! That sucks that they don't work

As people say, they use there own engine (AGS) so they will never work in ScummVM.

As for porting AGS, lets just say some emails are bouncing about but it's unlightly.

Well... unlikely is at least a step forward from impossible
