FreeSCI 0.6.4 released, older releases retracted
Author: jameson Date: Sun 18. May 2008
FreeSCI 0.6.4 has been released; this release supersedes all previous releases.
0.6.4 is mostly a bugfix release, finally rendering most SCI0 games beatable
(SCI0 games that have been confirmed to be beatable include LSL2, LSL3, QfG1/HQ
and SQ3).
Even though 0.6.4 is not quite as stable as our previous stable branch, we have
decided to have it replace the stable branch due to potentially unclean code
(code that may have been derived directly from SCI interpreter disassembly).
Since FreeSCI is intended as a clean-room re-implementation of Sierra SCI, we
do not permit such code in our code base; we have therefore replaced it with
clean code (thanks to help from Max Horn).
FreeSCI 0.6.4 further includes some improvements to the audio subsystem, but
please note that all of these still require manual source code changes in order
to be enabled:
* MT-32 emulator support (Walter) (note that this requires MT-32 ROM files)
* General MIDI support for SCI1 games
* a CAMD MIDI driver for newer AmigaOS versions
Meanwhile, please enjoy 0.6.4, and report any bugs you find to the bug tracker!
