@jens The information you want to acquire is in our main code repository. Good luck, fellow adventurer!

@scummvm Sneaky. I approve!

@scummvm You're going to release ScummVM, for free, for everybody, to enjoy classic video games on a lot of modern systems?
Show threadScummVMMay 25

@elmuerte Since 2001 - and probably for the next 25 years as well!

(We are getting old...)

@scummvm @elmuerte

ScummVM ages like fine Wine.
And I bet the devs do too.

@Kaution @scummvm @elmuerte 'ScummVM ages like WINE' is probably one of the nerdiest jokes I have read in a while. In particular because I had never made the 'Is Not a Emulator'-connection in my head.
(not sure if it was intended, but you get credit for making me laugh non the less)

@scummvm @elmuerte I've been taking it for granted that Scummvm will always be around to re-experience old games. Let's hope someone picks it up when that becomes a necessity. 🙏

At this point scummvm has been used for more years to run certain games, than they were run natively. Crazy to think about.

@meowki @scummvm you should start up 86Box to boot up Windows 95 so you can play your favorite DOS games in ScummVM.

@elmuerte @scummvm That's communism 😇.

@scummvm There will finally be a #commodore64 port? 🍿
Show threadScummVMMay 25
@stirz Well… patches welcome ;)
Show threadstirz ✅May 25
@scummvm .crt or .d64 format?
Show threadScummVMMay 25
@stirz Will you make a cartridge as well? That's greatly appreciated! We take both.

@scummvm

You finally added the one most important feature - an AI chat bot that can't be turned off?

"Hello, I am Stan A. I. Stanman! Look at all this quality answers!"

Show threadScummVMMay 25
@mndflayr Oh no. Please. No.
Show threadScummVMMay 25
@mndflayr But actually, it would be _really_ fun to prompt an AI "you are an overy sceptic customer" and then feeding it all the lines from our favorite salesman.

@scummvm

Actually, what AI lacks is charisma. If it were like Stan, everybody would be sold on it.
