I don't have or have seen the magazine but it could only be BASS and FOTAQ, the others are still being sold by LucasArts. Both are also available as downloads from the ScummVM homepage but neither will run on your GP32.

why not?

Because the ScummVM on the GP32 is based upon an older version of of ScummVM which didn't have support for these two games yet.

which games can i have?

 

[raven]

I'm sure I'll forget some but: Day Of The Tentacle, Loom, Monkey Island 1 and 2, Sam & Max, Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken and one of the Indianan James games should work.

Both of those games have been released as freeware and are available for download from this site perfectly legally.

Not 100% true, ScummVM for the GP32 is based on ScummVM 0.5.1 (and CVS, i.e. 0.7.0 in newer builds).

The lack of support for non-LucasArts games is largely due to different code related problems, memory usage, GP32/ARM weirdness etc. etc.. A number of the problems with the GP32 port also effect the Zaurus port (also an ARM device).

Good work there, I did not realise you had done that.

My 0.5.1 port is know as ScummVM for the GP32 . Really minor but if you search any GP32 site for gpScumm you will end up with the old 0.3.1 release and most of your guide is then not a huge amount of use .

EDIT: You REALLY should check your site download links. The sou2sog.rar file is missing and you get a browser 404 page that attempts to install spyware into Internet Explorer. Not very clever at all.
