Graphical adventures in your PDA
I am going to you to comment a program that knew a long time ago, but del that there am shortage recently its version for Palm. One is ScummVM.
After that so strange name, an emulator hides that allows to play the graphical adventures of some years ago, like the saga Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, the day of the tentacle, etc.
The day of the tentacle
It had already had opportunity to prove it in the PC, but there am shortage that Chrilith has carried east program to the Palm platform, and that days ago sent to a beta version for processors ARM and PalmOS 5, reason why it comes to me from Rep them for the Tungsten E2.
The truth is that the games go very well, besides occupying very few megas in card SD, reason why nothing costs to take installed them to throw a vice from time to time.
It is possible to remember, that the program is the emulator, but you will need the archives the original games to be able to play them, as it happens with all the emulators. Another day I will speak to them of how to play another type of games, like those of consoles NES, SNES, Gameboy, etc, or even recreational arcade…
Published: In this post the process of installation of the ScummVM and a game as a example is detailed.

It is really incredible to be able to run the games of several consoles like the Nes, Gb, Gba, Supernes, and even Playstation in certain devices… no?
Certainly. The PDA becomes a portable console, with an infinite variety of games. Which takes to one second reflection. Very good they are the classic games, that continue liking people year after year.
I have been time trying to rular in my PDA the SCUMMVM but not with himself that find the games. I do not know to put the directory in the card well, is seen. somebody can send a mini-tutorial to me? I have a Sony Clié TH 55 with one memorystick of 128. An egg would be thanked for and leaves from the other!
Hello Cymmeria. In my Palm the games I keep in the directory “Palm \ Programs \ ScummVM \ Games”. For example, the archives of the day of the tentacle \ ScummVM is in the directory “Palm \ Programs \ Games \ TENTACLE”. Then, when adding the game within the ScummVM, I write “tentacle/” in the field “path”, and “tentacle” in the field “game” (not if this last one is necessary). In order to know what archives need each game, it visits the page
