    HAHA... AnAutisticDog you made a big mistake by digging this thread up. People around here seem to not like ScummVM for some reason.

    But it is on most other emulator sites. most likely because it has a port on almost every system.

    Ports:
    Windows
    Fedora 7
    Fedora Core 5 and 6
    Debian 4.0
    SlackWare
    Mac OS X
    PSP (PlayStation Portable)
    Nintendo DS
    Symbian S60
    Symbian UIQ 3
    PalmOS 5
    PalmOS Tapwave Zodiac
    Windows CE ARM
    Dreamcast
    GP2X
    Solaris 8
    Solaris 10
    BeOS
    AmigaOS 4
    Atari/FreeMiNT
    OS/2
    PlayStation2
    Windows 64

    Now that I think about, isnt DOSBox the same thing, and on this site under "computer".

    The SCUMM engine was never a console or system. It's an gaming engine that some people reverse engineered(it was closed source commercial software) and ported to newer operating systems. In a sense however you can say that it is "emulated" in newer operated systems.

    I might add it over the weekend.

    Nah, DOSBox is an emulator, programs like ScummVM or Sarien are interpreters. I don't care, I love them both
