Right after the ending of [Myst](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Myst), you are promptly sent to another Age by Atrus, where his wife Catherine is stranded. Riven is the fifth Age written by Atrus' father, Gehn, which he rules as a cruel self-proclaimed god. Your dual mission is to rescue Catherine and imprison Gehn. To be successful you will have to carefully explore the five islands of Riven and solve the intricate puzzles they hide.

The ScummVM team is proud to announce that [Riven: The Sequel to Myst](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Riven:_The_Sequel_to_Myst) is finally ready for its testing period. If you want to help with the tests, use the latest [daily build](/downloads/#daily) of ScummVM to play the Windows or Mac version of the game. Please report the issues you encounter on our [bug tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/). Be sure to follow our [testing and bug reporting guidelines](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Release_Testing).

As a warm up before playing Riven, you may want to play Myst. If you do so, please use a daily build of ScummVM. Major changes were made to the game engine to remove situations where the game feels unresponsive. Some bugs may have escaped our attention. As with Riven, please report the issues you notice during your play-through.

Welcome to the largest Summer of Code ever
 
20170306.content
![GSoC Logo](/data/news/GSoC2017Logo.png)

This year, Google announced the largest Summer of Code ever, with 201 accepted organizations. We are very pleased to announce we are participating this year again, together with our sister project ResidualVM.

Are you a motivated student? Do you want to participate in the largest Google Summer of Code ever? Do you want to be known as a contributor to one of the largest game preservation projects?

Then ScummVM and ResidualVM are waiting for you! Have a look at [our ideas page](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2017) or bring your own idea!

In any case, don't hesitate to chat with us on IRC! One place: Freenode. Two channels: #scummvm and #residualvm

Take off your tie and become a plumber!
 
20170401.content
We are very proud to announce that Retro-Junk has been working on ScummVM support for one of the most important games of Video Game History: Plumbers Don't Wear Ties!

Over the past few years, we've had a constant stream of requests asking us to investigate support for this genre-defining masterpiece. It changed the gaming industry forever, by introducing (among many other innovations) an awesome negative-filtered intro (with karting pandas), FMP as a genre game (Full Motion Pictures), and even to this day remains the only game which uses 42nd degree humour.

The engine reflects the astonishing complexity of the game, with 500 lines of code - at the time of writing, it would be one of the largest engine (62nd largest to be precise) in our tree. As you can imagine, it will take us some time to review and get it merged.

However, you can already grab the source code from [this pull request on GitHub](https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/932), build a copy and play it (only PC version supported currently). And remember, we are always interested in new screenshots!

We'd also like you to join us and give a very special thank you to two of our developers, uruk-hai and t0by. They've continued to relentlessly push for support of this game, keeping everyone motivated. This work may not have been possible without them!

Before you start your test run, we encourage you to read through our [testing guidelines](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Release_Testing), and please take some [screenshots](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots) along the way.

Now, go! Grab your copy of the game and the code, and enjoy this historical moment!

**Update:** If you thought it was an April Fool's Day joke, you have been trolled. The Pull Request on GitHub is genuine, and ScummVM will really support *Plumbers Don't Wear Ties* if it gets merged.
 
20170401a.title
We are changing our name!
 
20170401a.content
**Update:** we were unable to reserve the plumbervm.org domain and thus, with a heavy heart, we decided to abandon our rebranding effort and go back to our old name. Long live ScummVM!

The issue of the name of ScummVM has been raised many times since we started to add engines for non-SCUMM games. Until now we decided to keep the original name. However, the addition today of an engine for *Plumbers Don't Wear Ties* changes everything. Due to its fame and reputation for being one of the best video game ever, it naturaly becomes the flagship of what we stand for. Thus we have finally decided to change our name. We are now **PlumberVM**!

We used the name ScummVM for over 15 years, and this is with sadness that we say goodbye to it. It is a well known name and we do not underestimate the effort it will take to get the same recognition for our new name. Thus we are calling on your help to spread the news. In the short term this will inevitably lead to some disruption and confusion. But in the long term we are convinced that this is the right decision. With your support we will conquer the world! Starting from the sewers.

With the change of name we have also decided to expand even more the scope of our project. Last year we decided to accept engines for RPG games in addition to adventure games. Now we are also accepting any games that feature a plumber. Work has already started on the little known *Super Mario Bros.*, and we have big plans for the future. We will have a big announcement soon, so stay tuned.

On a final note, it will take time for us to update all the places where our name appears. We have started today with our main website and you will notice in the next few days the change spreading to our social media accounts, wiki, forum and the pages not yet updated on our web site. We are also working on releasing PlumberVM 2.0 with the addition of two new supported games: *Plumbers Don't Wear Ties* and *Full Pipe*. This will happen as soon as the last few bugs in our engines for *Plumbers Don't Wear Ties* and *Full Pipe* have been squashed. Hopefully we won't find mutant turtles during testing. Squashing those is a real pain!

Before you start your test run, please read the instructions on our [SCI testing page](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/SCI/Testing), and take some [screenshots](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots) along the way.

(If you have been itching to play some of the earlier SCI games, please take this time to run through them again too, as changes to the engine may also affect some 16-bit SCI games!)

Have fun!

GSoC 2017 projects announced!
 
20170505.content
![GSoC Logo](/data/news/GSoC2017Logo.png)

Today Google announced the accepted projects for this year's Summer of Code. We are pleased to say that ScummVM will be mentoring two wizard students who will have one mission: casting the Super Sludge Nova spell. Effects include adding support for two new engines, and the cooldown period is 12 weeks:

* Joseph-Eugene Winzer (a.k.a. Joefish) will be working on adding support for the ***[Mission Supernova](http://outpost.simplicity.de)*** game.
* Simei Yin will work on porting the ***[Sludge engine](https://opensludge.github.io)*** to ScummVM.

We extend a warm welcome to our students for what we hope will be a productive and interesting summer! You can follow their progress throughout the summer on the [ScummVM Blogs](http://planet.scummvm.org).

Hi-Res Adventures
 
20170617.content
Last year, we added support for three of Sierra's Hi-Res Adventure games: *Mystery House* (#1), *Mission: Asteroid* (#0) and *Wizard and the Princess* (#2). We're proud to announce that three more Apple II games are now playable in ScummVM and ready for testing: *Ulysses and the Golden Fleece* (#4), *Time Zone* (#5) and *The Dark Crystal* (#6).

For *Ulysses and the Golden Fleece*, we currently support the Load 'N' Go budget release. For *Time Zone* and *The Dark Crystal* we support the disk images that can be found on some of the [Sierra collection CDs](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/SCI/Game_Collections). The [Datafiles wiki page](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles) has been updated with the required filenames for the disk images.

If you own one of those classics, grab the latest [daily build](/downloads/#daily) and try it out! If you encounter an issue, please post a bug report following our [testing guidelines](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Release_Testing). And while you're at it, please take some [screenshots!](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots)

You may be wondering what happened to *Hi-Res Adventure #3: Cranston Manor*. Unfortunately, we still have not been able to locate a copy of this game after looking for it for over a year. If you own it, we'd love to [hear from you](/contact/)!

Trapped on a luxury cruise ship.. In Space!
 
20170702.content
Explore a broken-down luxury cruise liner, try to convince the Deskbot to give you an upgrade, and eventually track down and fix the ship's governing computer, Titania. Or you're never going to get home. We're pleased to announce the testing period for the late '90s game [Starship Titanic](http://www.mobygames.com/game/starship-titanic). At this time, only the English version is ready for testing. So break out your copy, and grab the latest [daily build](/downloads/#daily) of ScummVM. You'll also need an extra required [titanic.dat](https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/dists/engine-data/titanic.dat?raw=true) file, which should be put in the same folder you copy your game files to.

Before you start your test run, please be aware there is one specific kind of Indeo encoded AVI video we haven't yet figured out how to decode transparency information for. In a few areas, such as the SGT Stateroom and Titania's closeup, amongst others, you'll see objects with jagged black areas around them. Please just ignore the problem for now. But all other graphics or gameplay issues should be reported on our [Issue Tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

As a warm up before playing Riven, you may want to play Myst. If you do so, please use a daily build of ScummVM.

Three new games about aliens

Before you start your test run, for Lighthouse and RAMA, please read the instructions on our [SCI testing page](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/SCI/Testing), and take some [screenshots](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots) along the way. For Starship Titanic German, you’ll need an extra required [titanic.dat](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scummvm/scummvm/master/dists/engine-data/titanic.dat) file, which should be put in the same folder you copy your game files to.

Please keep in mind for Starship Titanic German that we're not all German speakers, so bug reports will need to be in English. Also, if any bugs you find involve text that's entered in the conversation tab to one of the bots, it will make things easier if you can replicate the problem using words that don't include letters outside of the English alphabet.

Have fun!

Two days ago, Google announced the organizations that have been accepted for this year's Summer of Code, and we are very pleased to announce that ScummVM is one of them, together with our sister project ResidualVM. The Summer of Code is a yearly event organized by Google to encourage students to contribute to open source projects. Open source organizations provide mentors and projects to work on, while Google give some money to participating students. You can find more information on the [official web site](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com). We also have some information on [our wiki](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code), and in particular [project rules](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code/Project_Rules) that applicants will need to follow.

Are you a motivated student? Are you available between May 14 and August 6? Do you want to be a contributor to one of the largest game preservation projects? Then ScummVM and ResidualVM are waiting for you! Have a look at [our ideas page](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2018) or bring your own idea! Students have until March 27 to write and submit proposals for the project they want to work on. The accepted proposals will be announced on April 23, and there will be a few weeks for community bonding before the start of the 12 week coding period on May 14.

In any case, don't hesitate to chat with us on IRC! One place: Freenode. Two channels: #scummvm and #residualvm

IDA Disassembler
Desensamblador IDA
20180331.content
A recent discussion about the most recent IDA Disassembler freeware 7.0 revealed that it no longer supports disassembling older DOS and Windows executables. This is obviously a problem for potential contributors, as well as potential GSoC students wanting to reverse engineer an old adventure game or RPG for their project. The obvious solution is to provide an earlier freeware version that still supports them.

Consulting with Hex-Rays, they're kindly consented for us to host one of the earlier IDA freeware versions, for those in the future who wish to use it. After reviewing the earlier versions, we've settled on [IDA Freeware Version 5.0](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/extras/IDA/idafree50.exe). IDA 5.0 was the first version of IDA that added the convenient graph view, and this freeware version has both it as well as the ability to disassemble DOS executables. It's also not time limited like the demo versions, it's the most convenient for enthusiasts to try their hand at reverse engineering old games.

Considering how many of our game engines have been created by reverse engineering the original games, hopefully we will continue to see people interested in re-implementing games in the future.

The more the merrier :)
Una conversación reciente acerca de la versión _freeware_ más reciente del desensamblador IDA, la 7.0, ha revelado que ha dejado de ofrecer el desensamblado de ejecutables antiguos para DOS y Windows. Evidentemente, este es un problema para posibles colaboradores y para estudiantes potenciales del GSoC que quieran hacer ingeniería inversa a alguna aventura o RPG antiguos para su proyecto. La solución más evidente es ofrecer una versión _freeware_ anterior que todavía sea compatible con estos ejecutables.

Tras consultar con Hex-Rays, han tenido el detalle de permitir que alberguemos una de las versiones _freeware_ de IDA más antiguas para aquellos que deseen utilizarla en el futuro. Tras estudiar las versiones anteriores, hemos optado por [la versión 5.0 de IDA Freeware](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/extras/IDA/idafree50.exe). IDA 5.0 fue la primera versión de IDA que incorporó la conveniente vista en gráfica y esta versión _freeware_ tiene tanto esta vista como la capacidad de desensamblar ejecutables para DOS. A diferencia de las versiones de demostración, no tiene un límite de tiempo, así que es la más cómoda para aquellos aficionados que quieran probar suerte haciendo ingeniería inversa a juegos antiguos.

Teniendo en cuenta cuántos de nuestros motores han sido creados haciendo ingeniería inversa a los juegos originales, esperamos que sigamos despertando un interés por reimplementar juegos de aquí al futuro.

Cuantos más, mejor. :)

This year, Google announced the largest Summer of Code ever, with 201 accepted organizations. We are very pleased to announce we are participating this year again, together with our sister project ResidualVM.

Are you a motivated student? Do you want to participate in the largest Google Summer of Code ever? Do you want to be known as a contributor to one of the largest game preservation projects?

Then ScummVM and ResidualVM are waiting for you! Have a look at [our ideas page](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2017) or bring your own idea!

Welcome to the largest Summer of Code ever
 
20170401.content
We are very proud to announce that Retro-Junk has been working on ScummVM support for one of the most important games of Video Game History: Plumbers Don't Wear Ties!

Over the past few years, we've had a constant stream of requests asking us to investigate support for this genre-defining masterpiece. It changed the gaming industry forever, by introducing (among many other innovations) an awesome negative-filtered intro (with karting pandas), FMP as a genre game (Full Motion Pictures), and even to this day remains the only game which uses 42nd degree humour.

The engine reflects the astonishing complexity of the game, with 500 lines of code - at the time of writing, it would be one of the largest engine (62nd largest to be precise) in our tree. As you can imagine, it will take us some time to review and get it merged.

However, you can already grab the source code from [this pull request on GitHub](https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/932), build a copy and play it (only PC version supported currently). And remember, we are always interested in new screenshots!

We'd also like you to join us and give a very special thank you to two of our developers, uruk-hai and t0by. They've continued to relentlessly push for support of this game, keeping everyone motivated. This work may not have been possible without them!

Before you start your test run, we encourage you to read through our [testing guidelines](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Release_Testing), and please take some [screenshots](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots) along the way.

Now, go! Grab your copy of the game and the code, and enjoy this historical moment!

**Update:** If you thought it was an April Fool's Day joke, you have been trolled. The Pull Request on GitHub is genuine, and ScummVM will really support *Plumbers Don't Wear Ties* if it gets merged.

Take off your tie and become a plumber!
 
20170401a.content
**Update:** we were unable to reserve the plumbervm.org domain and thus, with a heavy heart, we decided to abandon our rebranding effort and go back to our old name. Long live ScummVM!

The issue of the name of ScummVM has been raised many times since we started to add engines for non-SCUMM games. Until now we decided to keep the original name. However, the addition today of an engine for *Plumbers Don't Wear Ties* changes everything. Due to its fame and reputation for being one of the best video game ever, it naturaly becomes the flagship of what we stand for. Thus we have finally decided to change our name. We are now **PlumberVM**!

We used the name ScummVM for over 15 years, and this is with sadness that we say goodbye to it. It is a well known name and we do not underestimate the effort it will take to get the same recognition for our new name. Thus we are calling on your help to spread the news. In the short term this will inevitably lead to some disruption and confusion. But in the long term we are convinced that this is the right decision. With your support we will conquer the world! Starting from the sewers.

With the change of name we have also decided to expand even more the scope of our project. Last year we decided to accept engines for RPG games in addition to adventure games. Now we are also accepting any games that feature a plumber. Work has already started on the little known *Super Mario Bros.*, and we have big plans for the future. We will have a big announcement soon, so stay tuned.

On a final note, it will take time for us to update all the places where our name appears. We have started today with our main website and you will notice in the next few days the change spreading to our social media accounts, wiki, forum and the pages not yet updated on our web site. We are also working on releasing PlumberVM 2.0 with the addition of two new supported games: *Plumbers Don't Wear Ties* and *Full Pipe*. This will happen as soon as the last few bugs in our engines for *Plumbers Don't Wear Ties* and *Full Pipe* have been squashed. Hopefully we won't find mutant turtles during testing. Squashing those is a real pain!

Last year, we added support for three of Sierra's Hi-Res Adventure games: *Mystery House* (#1), *Mission: Asteroid* (#0) and *Wizard and the Princess* (#2). We're proud to announce that three more Apple II games are now playable in ScummVM and ready for testing: *Ulysses and the Golden Fleece* (#4), *Time Zone* (#5) and *The Dark Crystal* (#6).

For *Ulysses and the Golden Fleece*, we currently support the Load 'N' Go budget release. For *Time Zone* and *The Dark Crystal* we support the disk images that can be found on some of the [Sierra collection CDs](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/SCI/Game_Collections). The [Datafiles wiki page](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles) has been updated with the required filenames for the disk images.

If you own one of those classics, grab the latest [daily build](/downloads/#daily) and try it out! If you encounter an issue, please post a bug report following our [testing guidelines](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Release_Testing). And while you're at it, please take some [screenshots!](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots)

You may be wondering what happened to *Hi-Res Adventure #3: Cranston Manor*. Unfortunately, we still have not been able to locate a copy of this game after looking for it for over a year. If you own it, we'd love to [hear from you](/contact/)!

Explore a broken-down luxury cruise liner, try to convince the Deskbot to give you an upgrade, and eventually track down and fix the ship's governing computer, Titania. Or you're never going to get home. We're pleased to announce the testing period for the late '90s game [Starship Titanic](http://www.mobygames.com/game/starship-titanic). At this time, only the English version is ready for testing. So break out your copy, and grab the latest [daily build](/downloads/#daily) of ScummVM. You'll also need an extra required [titanic.dat](https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/dists/engine-data/titanic.dat?raw=true) file, which should be put in the same folder you copy your game files to.

Before you start your test run, please be aware there is one specific kind of Indeo encoded AVI video we haven't yet figured out how to decode transparency information for. In a few areas, such as the SGT Stateroom and Titania's closeup, amongst others, you'll see objects with jagged black areas around them. Please just ignore the problem for now. But all other graphics or gameplay issues should be reported on our [Issue Tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

Right after the ending of [Myst](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Myst), you are promptly sent to another Age by Atrus, where his wife Catherine is stranded. Riven is the fifth Age written by Atrus' father, Gehn, which he rules as a cruel self-proclaimed god. Your dual mission is to rescue Catherine and imprison Gehn. To be successful you will have to carefully explore the five islands of Riven and solve the intricate puzzles they hide.

The ScummVM team is proud to announce that [Riven: The Sequel to Myst](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Riven:_The_Sequel_to_Myst) is finally ready for its testing period. If you want to help with the tests, use the latest [daily build](/downloads/#daily) of ScummVM to play the Windows or Mac version of the game. Please report the issues you encounter on our [bug tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/). Be sure to follow our [testing and bug reporting guidelines](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Release_Testing).

As a warm up before playing Riven, you may want to play Myst. If you do so, please use a daily build of ScummVM. Major changes were made to the game engine to remove situations where the game feels unresponsive. Some bugs may have escaped our attention. As with Riven, please report the issues you notice during your play-through.

Before you start your test run, for Lighthouse and RAMA, please read the instructions on our [SCI testing page](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/SCI/Testing), and take some [screenshots](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots) along the way. For Starship Titanic German, you’ll need an extra required [titanic.dat](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scummvm/scummvm/master/dists/engine-data/titanic.dat) file, which should be put in the same folder you copy your game files to.

Please keep in mind for Starship Titanic German that we're not all German speakers, so bug reports will need to be in English. Also, if any bugs you find involve text that's entered in the conversation tab to one of the bots, it will make things easier if you can replicate the problem using words that don't include letters outside of the English alphabet.

Have fun!

Two days ago, Google announced the organizations that have been accepted for this year's Summer of Code, and we are very pleased to announce that ScummVM is one of them, together with our sister project ResidualVM. The Summer of Code is a yearly event organized by Google to encourage students to contribute to open source projects. Open source organizations provide mentors and projects to work on, while Google give some money to participating students. You can find more information on the [official web site](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com). We also have some information on [our wiki](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code), and in particular [project rules](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code/Project_Rules) that applicants will need to follow.

Are you a motivated student? Are you available between May 14 and August 6? Do you want to be a contributor to one of the largest game preservation projects? Then ScummVM and ResidualVM are waiting for you! Have a look at [our ideas page](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2018) or bring your own idea! Students have until March 27 to write and submit proposals for the project they want to work on. The accepted proposals will be announced on April 23, and there will be a few weeks for community bonding before the start of the 12 week coding period on May 14.

In any case, don't hesitate to chat with us on IRC! One place: Freenode. Two channels: #scummvm and #residualvm
![GSoC Logo](/data/news/GSoC2017Logo.png)

Hace dos días, Google anunció cuáles son las organizaciones aceptadas para el Summer of Code de este año, y nos complace enormemente anunciar que ScummVM es una de ellas, junto con nuestro coproyecto ResidualVM. Summer of Code es un evento anual organizado por Google para fomentar la participación de alumnos en proyectos de código abierto. Las organizaciones de código abierto ofrecen mentores y proyectos en los que trabajar, mientras que Google da un dinero a los alumnos que participen. Podéis ver más información en la [página web oficial](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com). También tenemos información en [nuestra wiki](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code), especialmente las [reglas del proyecto](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code/Project_Rules) que deberán seguir los candidatos.

¿Eres estudiante y tienes motivación? ¿Estás disponible entre el 14 de mayo y el 6 de agosto? ¿Quieres contribuir a uno de los mayores proyectos de preservación del videojuego? ¡Entonces ScummVM y ResidualVM te están esperando! ¡Echa un vistazo a [nuestra página de ideas](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2018) o presenta una de tu propia cosecha! Los estudiantes tienen hasta el 27 de marzo para redactar y presentar propuestas para el proyecto en el que quieran trabajar. Las propuestas aceptadas se anunciarán el 23 de abril, y después habrá unas semanas para estrechar lazos con la comunidad antes de las 12 semanas de programación, que comenzarán el 14 de mayo.

En cualquiera de los casos, ¡no tengas dudas en hablar con nosotros a través de IRC! Un lugar: Freenode. Dos canales: #scummvm and #residualvm

A recent discussion about the most recent IDA Disassembler freeware 7.0 revealed that it no longer supports disassembling older DOS and Windows executables. This is obviously a problem for potential contributors, as well as potential GSoC students wanting to reverse engineer an old adventure game or RPG for their project. The obvious solution is to provide an earlier freeware version that still supports them.

Consulting with Hex-Rays, they're kindly consented for us to host one of the earlier IDA freeware versions, for those in the future who wish to use it. After reviewing the earlier versions, we've settled on [IDA Freeware Version 5.0](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/extras/IDA/idafree50.exe). IDA 5.0 was the first version of IDA that added the convenient graph view, and this freeware version has both it as well as the ability to disassemble DOS executables. It's also not time limited like the demo versions, it's the most convenient for enthusiasts to try their hand at reverse engineering old games.

Considering how many of our game engines have been created by reverse engineering the original games, hopefully we will continue to see people interested in re-implementing games in the future.

The more the merrier :)
Una conversación reciente acerca de la versión _freeware_ más reciente del desensamblador IDA, la 7.0, ha revelado que ha dejado de ofrecer el desensamblado de ejecutables antiguos para DOS y Windows. Evidentemente, este es un problema para posibles colaboradores y para estudiantes potenciales del GSoC que quieran hacer ingeniería inversa a alguna aventura o RPG antiguos para su proyecto. La solución más evidente es ofrecer una versión _freeware_ anterior que todavía sea compatible con estos ejecutables.

Tras consultar con Hex-Rays, han tenido el detalle de permitir que alberguemos una de las versiones _freeware_ de IDA más antiguas para aquellos que deseen utilizarla en el futuro. Tras estudiar las versiones anteriores, hemos optado por [la versión 5.0 de IDA Freeware](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/extras/IDA/idafree50.exe). IDA 5.0 fue la primera versión de IDA que incorporó la conveniente vista en gráfica y esta versión _freeware_ tiene tanto esta vista como la capacidad de desensamblar ejecutables para DOS. A diferencia de las versiones de demostración, no tiene un límite de tiempo, así que es la más cómoda para aquellos aficionados que quieran probar suerte haciendo ingeniería inversa a juegos antiguos.

Teniendo en cuenta cuántos de nuestros motores han sido creados haciendo ingeniería inversa a los juegos originales, esperamos que sigamos despertando un interés por reimplementar juegos de aquí al futuro.

Cuantos más, mejor. :)

Today Google announced the accepted projects for this year's Summer of Code. We are pleased and excited to say that ScummVM will be mentoring three students while ResidualVM will also have one student. All four of them will work on game engines:

* Andrii Prykhodko (a.k.a. whiterandrek) will be working on adding support for the ***[Pink Panther: Passport to Peril](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pink_Panther:_Passport_to_Peril)*** and ***[Pink Panther: Hokus Pokus Pink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pink_Panther:_Hokus_Pokus_Pink)*** games to ScummVM.
* Joseph-Eugene Winzer (a.k.a. Joefish) will be working on adding support for ***[The Immortal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Immortal_(video_game))*** game to ScummVM.
* Matthew Stewart will be working on the engine used by ***[Star Trek: 25th Anniversary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_25th_Anniversary_(computer_game))*** and ***[Star Trek: Judgment Rites](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Judgment_Rites)***. The focus for the GSoC period will be on the first game.
* Liu Zhaosong (a.k.a. Douglas\_GSoC) will be working on improving the Stark engine, used for ***[The Longest Journey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Longest_Journey)*** video game, in ResidualVM.

Please welcome with us our four adventurous students for what we hope will be a productive and interesting summer! And you can follow their progress throughout the summer on the [ScummVM Blogs](http://planet.scummvm.org).
