You have probably noticed that ScummVM was recently ported to the **iPhone**. In fact, since yesterday the blog community picked up this news and [started talking](http://grumpygamer.com/6868065).
That is basically why we are going against our settled procedures this time and will announce this port even though it is not supposed to be official yet, but is in its early beta stages. The port mentioned above was created by Oystein Eftevaag aka *Vinterstum*. Through continuous efforts of the ScummVM Team in the last six years it was not that difficult to make, and the basic port was created in less than a week. As we've mentioned, it is not yet official, so you will not find it in its usual place on our downloads page, but you should visit [this Wiki page](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/IPhone) which has full download and usage directions. Remember, that we in no way support piracy of any kind, and discussing it will get you quickly banned on our forums and official IRC channel. We have prepared a [list of online shops](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Where_to_buy_games) where you can buy many of the supported games. And of course, there are *Beneath a Steel Sky* and *Flight of the Amazon Queen* on our [downloads page](/downloads/) which were freewared thanks to our project. |

ScummVM. Do you hear it? Do you smell a new version? It's now here. And as usual and regularly, it is packed with tons of new features. Hold on, and take a look at the list:
* Support for the *FREEWARE* adventure *Lure of the Temptress* (available for download [here](/downloads/)) * Seven other new supported games: *I Have no Mouth, and I Must Scream*, *Elvira 1 and 2*, *Waxworks* (Amiga version only) and 3 Sierra pre-AGI games for children * Two newly available ports: *iPhone* and *Maemo* * Support for the Mac version of *The Legend of Kyrandia* and the Amiga version of *Nippon Safes* * Better support for Sierra AGI games * Improved support for modern 64-bit systems * Support for FLAC encoded music in *Broken Sword 1* for the purists among you * Better support for non-English versions of games, including eastern languages * Sound compression for SAGA games * Much much more. See [the release notes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/0.11.0/ReleaseNotes) for the full list Unfortunately, PlayStation 2 and GP32 ports will not be released with this version, since we don't have any maintainers for these ports currently. Enough reading, go and grab it at [our downloads page](/downloads/)! PS. `0110b = 6` |

ScummVM continues to leap forward in a leap year, and we are pleased to announce the next shiny bugfix release of the project.
As usual, it holds a number of improvements, it's more stable, and it should bring you even more fun than 0.11.0. We fixed the digital iMUSE system (better *COMI* experience), *King's Quest 4* bugs were squashed, and support for fanmade AGI games has been improved; *Lure of the Temptress*, *Inherit the Earth* and *I Have no Mouth* all work better since we fixed several crashes, lock-ups and all such buzzwords. As a special bonus we are glad to announce the return of the **BeOS** port and the deeply missed **Playstation 2** port. For a more comprehensive list of improvements you are welcome to visit [the release notes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/0.11.1/ReleaseNotes), but for those demanding to play, the latest and greatest version of ScummVM waits for you right on [our downloads page](/downloads/)! |

We can call it a tremendous development. Half a year since 0.11.1 passed pretty quickly, and we are pleased to announce the release of 0.12.0!
This new version of ScummVM adds support for 5 completely new games. The games that now run smoothly on many more platforms than was initially intended are: *The Legend of Kyrandia: Book Two: Hand of Fate*, *The Legend of Kyrandia: Book Three: Malcolm's Revenge*, *Lost in Time*, *The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble* and *Drascula: The Vampire Strikes Back*. The number of supported platforms grew as well. The **PS2** port has been revived, and the **GameCube** and **Wii** are now supported too. Take your Wiimote and make your beloved adventure game protagonist run around the screen :). No need to go any further into details here, those who want to know the gory details can always refer to [the release notes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/0.12.0/ReleaseNotes), and all of you are invited to go to [our downloads page](/downloads/). P.S. *Soon, pretty soon, look out for more news from us.* |

Observant users have noticed that there is an updated version of Flight of the Amazon Queen on SourceForge but not, until now, on the ScummVM [downloads page](/downloads/).
Apart from some minor typographical changes to the license to keep the legal beagles happy, the only difference compared to the old version is that it has been compressed using the latest version of the ScummVM tools. This should fix problems with clicks at the beginning of some speech, and speech being played a bit too slow. (ScummVM 0.12.0 already has a workaround for the latter problem, so you may not even notice the difference.) |

You always wondered where to get games supported by ScummVM? Perhaps you were also asking, how I can help the project?
You could find the supported games either on our [downloads page](/downloads/), or on our [Where to buy games](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Where_to_buy_games) page on our Wiki. For helping the project we have had a [PayPal button](https://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=37116) for some time. But now you can reach both goals at the same time! We are pleased to announce the start of an affiliate program with the excellent [Good Old Games](http://www.gog.com/?pp=22d200f8670dbdb3e253a90eee5098477c95c23d) service, also known as GOG.com. Just click on their button on the sidebar and you will be brought to the site. Register there and buy some games. You will get your game, cheap, fast and legally, and the ScummVM project will get a share of the proceeds. The main reason behind this is that [GOG.com](http://www.gog.com/?pp=22d200f8670dbdb3e253a90eee5098477c95c23d) uses ScummVM for several of their offered titles. Currently they offer *Broken Sword 2*, *Simon the Sorcerer 1*, *Simon the Sorcerer 2*, *Feeble Files*, *Waxworks*, as well as some of the free games which we offer too. Each release is nicely pre-packaged with ScummVM, is DRM-free, goes for just $5.99, and the most important thing, is completely legal, as those folks chase the original rights holders. Thus, watch their site, [buy](http://www.gog.com/?pp=22d200f8670dbdb3e253a90eee5098477c95c23d) the games, and help our project. ***PS:*** We will get the money only if you click on the provided button and register within a short period of time. |

As we turned to a 6 months release cycle, [here](/downloads/) is our newest and best ScummVM version for you!
A couple of new engines were added, and besides 2 Humongous Entertainment titles, we now support *The 7th Guest* and *Bud Tucker in Double Trouble*. Among other notable things there is a completely new vector-based GUI, which is a merged work of our last year GSoC student Vicent Marti, as well as a General Main Menu which adds a common save/load interface to most of our engines, adding the much awaited Return to Launcher feature along the way. It was the work of another successful student, Chris Page. A complete list of new games and features can be found in the [release notes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/0.13.0/ReleaseNotes), and the latest ScummVM version itself (available for a large number of platforms as usual) is located at the [downloads page](/downloads/). Let's play! |

It was just 3.5 months ago when we started to prepare for this release, and now finally the day has come.
Ladies and gentlemen, please greet the one and only ScummVM 1.0.0 "Shiny Logo!" The long awaited, the most anticipated, the best... whatever. We worked very hard on stability in this release, and in addition to all that goodness available since our 1.0.0rc1, we added a new set of ports for Motorola Linux-based phones (those on MotoEZX and MotoMAGX platforms) and fixed just a few hundred bugs. The release is available from the [usual place](/downloads/), and the full list of changes can be found [right here](https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/raw/v1.0.0/NEWS) in the NEWS file. Now jump to the [downloads page](/downloads/), grab a build for your favorite device and spread the word that ScummVM is 1.0.0! |

A year has passed and ScummVM 1.7.0 is here.
With this release we have added support for 5 completely new games. These are: * *The Neverhood* * *Mortville Manor* * *Voyeur* * *Return to Ringworld* * *Chivalry is Not Dead* Also, we have updated the MT-32 emulator, added an OpenGL backend, improved many aspects of the GUI, enhanced the AGOS engine, made *Urban Runner*'s videos less CPU-demanding, fixed tons of bugs in dozens of SCI games, improved sound in *Loom* and *Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade* and improved platform portability for the Tony and Tinsel engines. But this is not all. We have added experimental support for the OUYA console (we couldn't add GCW-Zero support simply because sev *still* awaits his console from [Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gcw/gcw-zero-open-source-gaming-handheld/posts)), made major improvements to the PS2 port and merged the Bada with Tizen ports. The full list with all changes mentioned can be found in [our release notes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/1.7.0/ReleaseNotes) and the release can be obtained as usual from our [downloads page](/downloads/). Everybody Way Oh! |

No, we do not want to make it a new rule to release ScummVM slower and slower! It has been many months since the last official release... but in that time, tons of work has been done, resulting in one of our biggest ScummVM releases to date!
ScummVM 1.8 adds support for *ten* new games using eight brand new game engines: * *Amazon: Guardians of Eden* * *Beavis and Butthead in Virtual Stupidity* * *Broken Sword 2.5: The Return of the Templars* * *Labyrinth of Time* * *Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender* * *Sfinx* * *The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo* * *The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel* * *Zork: Grand Inquisitor* * *Zork Nemesis: The Forbidden Lands* In addition to new game support, we've updated the MT-32 emulator to the latest upstream version of munt, and switched AdLib to Miles Audio for those games which originally supported it. This means games in ScummVM sound better than ever! We've also overhauled the graphics subsystem in AGI, basically replacing it. As a result game compatibility with old Sierra titles is high as never before, and even includes platform-specific system dialogs, palette and font for Apple IIgs, Atari ST and Amiga versions of the games. Game speed for Apple IIgs is handled properly now. And it's even possible to switch to the looks of another platform. New ports include GCW-Zero (yes, sev finally got one from the Kickstarter) and Raspberry Pi. Also, along the way we have moved to a new server and added translation capabilities to our main website. If you'd like to help with translation, [here](http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/HOWTO-Translate_ScummVM_Web_Site) is the link with the guide. This list is far from complete. The more comprehensive version of it can be found in [the release notes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/1.8.0/ReleaseNotes) and the binaries for your platforms are available from our [downloads page](/downloads/). The porters are still building their packages, so please be patient if you do not see the up to date download for your platform yet. Don't get lost in the Labyrinth, and in the worst case call Mr. Holmes! (And we promise to release more often!) |

It has been a couple of months since ScummVM 1.8.0, which means it’s time for a new point release! ScummVM 1.8.1 is now available with fixes for important bugs and support for even more platforms.
One of the most important "features" of this release is a major upgrade to the Android port. This upgrade also adds support for the OUYA console. We are currently working on bringing this new release straight to Google Play, but for the impatient among you, feel free to go ahead and [install the APKs manually](/downloads). The Android port now comes in two flavours, our "classic" OpenGL-based one, and a new variant based on SDL. The SDL port has better compatibility with some Android devices and also works better with some engines. Please give it a try and tell us on [our forums](http://forums.scummvm.org/viewforum.php?f=17) or via the [bug tracker](http://bugs.scummvm.org/) about your experience. We will also be adding Nintendo 3DS support! As of release time, the new binaries have not yet been built by our new porter, but they should be available soon. Keep your eyes peeled! 64-bit Mac binaries now include experimental automatic update checking using [Sparkle](https://sparkle-project.org/). Auto-updating is selected as an opt-in during your first start up, and by default checks weekly for new releases. When version 1.9.0 is released, users of 1.8.1 will be presented with a nice dialog for updating. If you'd like to see a similar feature for Windows or other platforms, let us know! All the details on how the update process works can be found [here](https://sparkle-project.org/). No ScummVM release would be complete without game engine updates! ScummVM 1.8.1 includes fixes for *Drascula*, *Legend of Kyrandia*, *Labyrinth of Time*, localized versions of *I Have No Mouth*, *Broken Sword 2.5* and improvements to the Windows, OS X and GCW0 ports. The full list of changes included in this release can be found in [the release notes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/1.8.1/ReleaseNotes) and the binaries are provided on our [downloads page](/downloads/). Get ready, grab your beloved Android device, install ScummVM on it, and play! |

Our one month testing period is over. Thanks to a lot of help from you, our fellow users and testers, we are now ready to ship our next release.
As always, we have been busy adding more games and enhancing old ones. Now, after many years in production, we are proud to announce support for *Myst* and *Myst: Masterpiece Edition*. Besides that, we now support *U.F.O.s* and the early Sierra Hi-Res adventures, namely *Hi-Res Adventure #0: Mission Asteroid*, *Hi-Res Adventure #1: Mystery House* and *Hi-Res Adventure #2: The Wizard and the Princess*, for a total of six newly supported games. With this release we are switching to SDL 2, so please, [report any bugs](https://bugs.scummvm.org) you encounter. Last time we introduced Sparkle-based updates for Mac, and now we're trying to launch it also for Windows. Hopefully, you will see it in action once we release our next version. Once again, we would like to mention that auto-updating is selected as an opt-in during your first start up. By default, if you enable it, it will check weekly for new releases. Screenshots of this in action can be seen at [the WinSparkle website](https://winsparkle.org). Notable bugfixes and enhancements include Hercules rendering and font for the AGI games, numerous bugfixes to SCI games, enhanced *Sherlock* games experience, and AmiUpdate on the Amiga port. The full list of changes included in this release can be found in [the release notes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/1.9.0/ReleaseNotes) and the binaries are provided on our [downloads page](/downloads/). Wait no more, and start playing *Myst* or *U.F.O.s* right now! |

After a short break, the ScummVM Team is pleased to announce a bugfix release for the 2.1 series - ScummVM 2.1.1, codenamed “:More Sheep:”.
This release contains a substantial amount of fixes and minor enhancements. The most notable ones are: better multi-language support in the GUI, improvements in FM TOWNS/PC-98 audio, optimisations of the cloud saves, a couple dozen SCI script fixes, improvements to Blade Runner and fixes to another 7 engines. Also, this is the first release with official support for the Nintendo 3DS. Additionally, we added cloud support to the Nintendo Switch port. For a more comprehensive list of changes, please refer to the [Release Notes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/2.1.1/ReleaseNotes.html).

The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce a new bugfix release for the 2.1 series - ScummVM 2.1.2, codenamed “Fixing Powerful Windows”. You will notice that this time, our [downloads page](/downloads/) is not exactly extensive. Don't worry, we are not touching ScummVM's (quite incredible) portability here.
ScummVM 2.1.2 is a maintenance release intended for Windows and Mac OS X, providing some [bug fixes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/2.1.2/ReleaseNotes.html) for those platforms. Since all other platforms are not affected, you don't need to worry about a seemingly missing update for now. While browsing the downloads page, you probably noticed a new entry there, especially when browsing our website using a PC running Ubuntu: ScummVM is now officially available at the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/scummvm)! Thanks to the ongoing support from Alan "popey" Pope and Alan Griffiths, the Snap Store release of ScummVM is now on-par with our other Linux releases. Compared to the traditonal way of distribution software on Linux, we have a lot more freedom in terms of new releases using the Snap Store. The moment we release a new version of ScummVM, you will receive it as an automated update. The ScummVM Snap comes in two flavours. The "stable" channel contains our official releases which makes it a great choice for most users. In case you want to explore the latest and greatest features of our current development versions, simply follow the "edge" channel and get an updated build each and every day! We also have some pretty neat additions to the Snap Package in mind - but more on that later. Enjoy, and have fun! |
