ScummVM Emulation Engine Makes Its Way to the iPhone

Chris Barylick · November 26th, 2007, 12:59 PM

You might never have expected to see this come to the iPhone, but here it is. After months of work, ScummVM, the emulation engine that allows users to play assorted LucasArts and sierra graphics adventure games, is now fully working and available for download on the iPhone. The program, which can be downloaded and installed via Installer.app, supports the iPhone's multi-touch interface and simulates the behavior of a mouse via gestures.

Where a single tap left clicks, a right click can be performed by holding one finger to the interface and dragging with another. To click and drag )which is necessary in some games like Monkey Island 3) you "hold one finger on screen, swipe another up from bottom to top." Then you can drag something, lift your finger to drop it and it will automatically switch back to normal.

ScummVM currently supports the following titles:

Day of the Tentacle (a must)
The Dig
Flight of the Amazon Queen
Full Throttle
Gobliiins
Gobliins 2
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (a must too)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (this one too)
King's Quest 3
Loom
Maniac Mansion
Monkey Island 1: The Secret of Monkey Island (best game ever)
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (ok, maybe this is the best game ever)
Sam & Max Hit the Road (another must-have)
Simon the Sorcerer 1
Simon the Sorcerer 2
Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders

A few minor issues such as the graphics not using the full screen (since the iPhone's resolution is higher than what the games were designed around) and performance problems remain, but the program is still runs well and performs the task it was designed for.

I downloaded and added ScummVM via installer.app, but where can I find the games that I have to add?

You can find the games in the download section of the main website!

Ahh! The link is broken. I add the link to my iPhone through installer but it's an "Untitled Source"! Then I try visiting that link on my phone and I just got some garbled text. SERVER ERROR I BET!
