Description:
ScummVM is an implementation of the SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for
Maniac Mansion) engine used in various Lucas Arts games such as Monkey
Island and Day of the Tentacle. At this time ScummVM should be considered
ALPHA software, as it's still under heavy development. Be aware that while
many games will work with few major bugs, crashes can happen. Also note   
that saved games can, and probably will, be incompatible between releases.

Also ScummVM is capable of playing several non-SCUMM games.

---

As discussed on f-e-l, scummvm is moving from Livna to FE since there have been released two Free games for it. There is one downside to being in FE.

I've had to disable mp3 and mpeg2 video support. mp3 support is not a problem since scummvm also supports ogg and the involved media packs are available in both ogg and mp3 format. However the loose of mpeg2 video playback is unfortunate as that means that the cutscenes in the Broken Sword game cannot be
played. I believe this is a small disadvantage as it influences only one game and that the advantages of being in FE outway this disadvantage.

I'll request upstream to add theora support and to also provide theora versions of the involved media packs fixing this.

I'll also be submitting several game packages for scumm today and I'll add their bug numbers to this bug, so you will have something to test with when reviewing.
