ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed. | |||
Originally it was designed to run LucasArts' SCUMM games, such as Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle or Sam and Max. SCUMM stands for Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion, which was the first game for which LucasArts designed this system. And much later it gave its name to ScummVM (VM meaning Virtual Machine). | |||
Over time support for a lot of non-SCUMM games has been added, and ScummVM now also supports many of Sierra's AGI and SCI games (such as King's Quest 1-6, Space Quest 1-5,...), Discworld 1 and 2, Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, Beneath A Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, Broken Sword I and II, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Gobliiins 1-3, The Legend of Kyrandia series, many of Humongous Entertainment's children's SCUMM games (including Freddi Fish and Putt Putt games) and many more. | |||

'''Graphics mode''' | |||
There are 4 modes to choose from: | |||
*Default | |||
*Default, bilinear filtering | |||
*Double-strike | |||
*Double-strike, bilinear filtering | |||
Double-strike modes render at half the vertical resolution. On interlaced modes this means that only one field is used for rendering, effectively using progressive frames (240p) with no "combing" effect. These modes improve the picture quality for low-res games, especially on CRTs. Not all display devices support these modes. Only available for games with a vertical resolution of 240 pixels or less. | |||
Bilinear filtering softens the picture to some degree. This is a feature of the GPU (no game performance loss). | |||
'''Aspect ratio correction''' | |||
Some games run at a native resolution of 320x200 pixels using non-square pixels for a 4:3 display. | |||
This video mode is not available on the Wii or Gamecube, and this feature stretches the picture to 320x240 pixels to the original 4:3 aspect ratio. | |||
'''Fullscreen mode''' | |||
If your Wii is set to 16:9, this will stretch the picture to fullscreen. Turning this option off results in pillarboxing (black borders on the left and right sides), but the aspect ratio will be kept. This option has no effect on 4:3 setups. | |||
If the picture gets cropped or black bars are visible, use the Wii options dialog to adjust the video output to your display device. Pressing 1 on the Wiimote or R on the Gamecube pad opens this dialog. The presented video options have to be set for the default and the double-strike modes independently. | |||

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed.
Originally it was designed to run LucasArts' SCUMM games, such as Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle or Sam and Max. SCUMM stands for Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion, which was the first game for which LucasArts designed this system. And much later it gave its name to ScummVM (VM meaning Virtual Machine).
Over time support for a lot of non-SCUMM games has been added, and ScummVM now also supports many of Sierra's AGI and SCI games (such as King's Quest 1-6, Space Quest 1-5,...), Discworld 1 and 2, Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, Beneath A Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, Broken Sword I and II, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Gobliiins 1-3, The Legend of Kyrandia series, many of Humongous Entertainment's children's SCUMM games (including Freddi Fish and Putt Putt games) and many more.
Installation
Requirements:
- Supported SD card or USB mass storage device.
- Wiimote or GameCube controller in port 1.
Instructions:
- Copy the "scummvm" folder to the "/apps" folder of your chosen storage media
- Copy your demos and/or games to the SD card, USB mass storage device or burn them on a DVD-R using the ISO9660 standard. A DVDX install is required for DVD support.

User guide
To run it, either use The Homebrew Channel, or load "/apps/scummvm/boot.dol" with your favorite loader.
Display setup
Graphics mode
There are 4 modes to choose from:
- Default
- Default, bilinear filtering
- Double-strike
- Double-strike, bilinear filtering
Double-strike modes render at half the vertical resolution. On interlaced modes this means that only one field is used for rendering, effectively using progressive frames (240p) with no "combing" effect. These modes improve the picture quality for low-res games, especially on CRTs. Not all display devices support these modes. Only available for games with a vertical resolution of 240 pixels or less.
Bilinear filtering softens the picture to some degree. This is a feature of the GPU (no game performance loss).
Aspect ratio correction
Some games run at a native resolution of 320x200 pixels using non-square pixels for a 4:3 display.
This video mode is not available on the Wii or Gamecube, and this feature stretches the picture to 320x240 pixels to the original 4:3 aspect ratio.
Fullscreen mode
If your Wii is set to 16:9, this will stretch the picture to fullscreen. Turning this option off results in pillarboxing (black borders on the left and right sides), but the aspect ratio will be kept. This option has no effect on 4:3 setups.
If the picture gets cropped or black bars are visible, use the Wii options dialog to adjust the video output to your display device. Pressing 1 on the Wiimote or R on the Gamecube pad opens this dialog. The presented video options have to be set for the default and the double-strike modes independently.
