Homebrew [Release] ScummVM 3DS

[Asia81]

I never played games like DOOM, or old games, so why not

Time for me to go back to when I was 3 years old and play Pajama Sam: No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside. I'm pretty sure I still have that disc somewhere...

EDIT: Hmm, can't seem to launch the 3dsx. It doesn't even ask me to choose a target app, which is really strange. Does this not work on O3DS?

Now, i have a descent reason to upgrade my 32GB SD to 64

The only thing DOOM/QUAKE etc. games and the ScummVM games has in common are that they are rather old...

Almost all of the ScummVM games are Point N Click games. That is the the total opposite to those raw 3D action DOOM games

You will ned a LOT of patience to play through any of these games

 

[Exaltys]

Gah! Didn't notice Kyra engine wasn't listed.

I will upgrade my 16 GB to 64 GB if/when the PS1 gets fullspeed


Has anyone tried The Dig? Simon the sorcerer, Monkey Island and The Dig was my favorite adventure games during the 90s..

OK, so I've done some initial testing on my New 3DS, so here are the results:

[WORKING]
Day of the Tentacle
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Loom
Monkey Island 2 (talkie edition using ogg files)

[WORKING WITH BUGS]
The Secret of Monkey Island (talkie) - Freezes at Lucasfilm Games splash screen. Can skip using the B button and continue playing as normal.

[NOT WORKING]
The Dig - Intro plays through fine, until Low comes out of the ship, then freezes (dialogue stays up on screen, animations continue, but do not progress. You can press B to skip to the other two shipmates appearing, but dialogue will freeze again, and nothing is selectable).

For everything that works (including MI1), it is very pleasant playing on the N3DS! I've tested saving and loading, which works fine, and also worth noting is that the START button will bring up the Global Menu, and SELECT button exists to the ScummVM Launcher, which hasn't been documented yet. Will test more a bit later!

*Edit - I know this is probably a big ask, but is it possible to work in MT32 emulation? Would be interesting to see how this performs on the 3DS. It works really well on a Pi2!

 

[DjoeN]

hmmz, controls for Full Throttle are difficult, have to figur out a bit
Also no talking anywhere in different games?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Full Throttle also works, (so far)
Broken Sword also (so far), but text is very blurry, almost not readable

OK got a CIA ready. I tried Sam & Max and it doesn't have sound.
Also the 3DS has trouble closing it.

What's your Mallampati score?

 

[Wuigi]

I have to say, it's great to have Curse of Monkey Island on the 3DS.
It even works, in scenes with many different sounds it has no audio however.
Also the top-screen only shows a fraction of the bottom screen and maybe should be disabled, or what I suggest, should show the text, as the 320x240 display is too small too show both at a readable degree.
Would be really great to add this.

Thanks for testing those games out. And I forgot to add Start/Select to controls list, thanks for reminding me lol.

MT32 could likely kill the o3ds performance until I optimize it for better GPU usage (a lot of CPU being used for software conversion of palettes atm).

I experience the same problem with The Dig, and I don't know why. I was thinking maybe there is some lib(s) or emulation engine missing, but ScummVM gives no error afaik. I will have to add to list of buggy games for now.

Some things I would like confirmed:

- Full Throttle: There are sound issues for me. Characters talk, but sfx like punching/kicking don't work. I would like to know if this happens for others too.

- Simon the Sorcerer: I would like this tested on n3ds (I don't have one). It's really slow and I'm curious if it runs full speed on n3ds.

- Broken Sword 1/2/2.5: Same as Simon the Sorcerer above, I would like tested on n3ds for speed.

Is the monster hunter 3/4 demo big enough to start it?

I believe so.

I quickly tried my talkie version of Monkey Island 2, and it works brilliantly! That zoom effect thing on the top screen is pretty cool, but a little off putting, is there a way to turn it off? Can't wait to put this through it's paces on my lunch break! Thanks again!

-J

I will add some 3ds-specific configuration options, and that will be one of them along with the ability to just disable the top screen (or turn it into console output for debug) since it's just a duplicate and can be annoying.

Also the 3DS has trouble closing it.

It uses DSP service for audio. You need to use the DSP Firmware Dumper which saves the dump to SD card to be used with libctru homebrew. I'm guessing that's the problem.

Also, it's expected to have trouble sleeping/suspending/closing as that it not implemented yet in code. However, does it at least close using the in-game menu to exit the game?

 

[jpxdude]

I have the Broken Sword games. I will try to convert them for ScummVM and test on my New 3DS later!

 

[a9lh-1user]

Installing STS right now on a new 3ds with cakes CFW!

 

[MannCo]

Yes, Full Throttle has some missing sound effects and music for me too. I'm also getting some random freezes at the beginning of the game (when you need to collect the stuff to repair the motorbike).


Sam & Max is working really well. I love to have this game on the 3DS

Thanks for your work!

Time for me to go back to when I was 3 years old and play Pajama Sam: No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside. I'm pretty sure I still have that disc somewhere...

works fine for me on my orig euro 3ds

 

[a9lh-1user]

okay Simon 1 is running in FULL speed.....but no dialouge boxes....no character sound.....
sfx is working from the beginning (intro video / the dog is not barking! and simon is not speaking) and also in the game.
But this is maybe the windows cd version i will try another version asap

You may not have any of the targets. Try installing one of these: https://gist.github.com/aliaspider/267ec0e67c9a5fb5c6de

I know it works with Monster Hunter 4 and the Youtube app. If it doesn't work with others, let me know.

Cool, thanks!

This certainly isn't the only game with audio issues. So I think there must be some audio component that I missed...

 

[DjoeN]

Maybe noteworthy:
- N3DS
- AuReiNand A9LH EmuNand 10.7
- Running HBL throu CIA from EmuNand 10.7
- Running ScummVM-3DS from HBL (started from EmuNand 10.7)
- Works great!

@TheCruel
- Broken Sword 1 runs fine, but the onscrfeen dialog is really a pain to read cause of the small screen :/
- Audio issues (like in alot of games) like sound FX, craccling sound , etc...
