ScummVM Now Supports AGS - Mage Initiation works perfectly.

[Adventure4Life]

So there are some major movement in ScummVM... it now supports AGS... it is still in the nightly unstable branch.. but recently it has been making huge strides into AGS compatibility. I recently tested it by playing Quest for Glory 2 Remake and Mage Initiation and they both worked great.

In fact, I think the gameplay experience with Mage was BETTER in scummVM. Due to how smooth and awesome the way ScummVM works as a window. Lots of people complained about crashing and alt-tab issues, flickering when window mode.. this is not a issue with the devs, it was a ags issue... well none of that is an issue.

Also, as scummVM plays on pretty much any platform none to man it played it on my phone, my pad, my AndroidTV.... pretty frickn awesome. ScummVM also has a mapper to add controller support.

Anyway... just a heads up for those that might be interested. Remember this is not even beta, it is just a branch not included in the official builds.. but I think it is getting really close now. I did have a few issues, but nothing that I believe will not be fixed.

This is great news. In fact I checked on the ScummVM website and the v2.5 released in October 2021 does include the support for AGS.

I just tested it, and I can properly play Al Emmo on my Macintosh and I can even use my saved games from Steam on Windows (after a little file renaming).
