Why isnt ScummVM on this site?

[Epsi]

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

With the emulators on this site you can emulate on your PC an other system. With ScummVM you play PC games on your PC. I think it is an interpreter, not an emulator.

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

OHHHHHHHHH. The tables have turned

I'll quote myself again.

ScummVM is an open source implementation of the SCUMM engine, not an emulator.

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
