Haven't tried it yet, but Aaron posts about the development on Mastodon quite regularly: @aaronsgiles@corteximplant.com
Looks really promising and I'll sure try Dark Forces on it soon |

Apart Grim Fandanco and Escape from Monkey Island, every other games run at maximun speed on Dosbox.
Nice idea to find some alternative way to run LucasArts games |

the FAQ part is imo very interesting to better understand the correct place this is trying to cover https://aarongiles.com/dreamm/docs/#faq seems indeed much closer to DosBox than ScummVM, approach talking |

Yet it has a curated list of supported games much like ScummVM It's an interesting approach and while DosBox is more versatile, it can be a bit of a pain to set up properly especially if you aren't familiar with DOS.

I used it on day1 release and tried every compatible game. It does work and it is pretty good
I made quite a few vids of each game... Here's MI2 mt32 talkie version [ Show youtube player ] |

It supports X-Wing, interesting. I wonder how the gamepad support is.

about the emulator itself, seems working also in a win7 PC that im using atm it's interesting the detect + emulated install thing having a cd game inserted (or virtually inserted) seems the better way to start all Last edited by kremiso; 15 May 2023 at 19:08. |

X-Wing is one PC game I really should play, as I loved TIE Fighter Collectors CD once I finally got a PC. Spent a fair bit of my first summer holidays as a PC owner working through the main game. Played Dark Forces a bit too, but don't think I got so far.
I love projects like this, real 'because I can and I want to' development, aiming for its own niche between ScummVM and DOSBox. |

yeah, he likes to describe some code tricks used back in the day
there is a funny phrase on docs, something like ' i'm trying to emulate my own games ' a reconfigure controller buttons option seems missing for now, hope it will implemented in future ie Dark Forces uses the default joystick configuration, missing the keyboard 'jump' key |

I noticed it also bypasses copy protection in Last Crusade English EGA version while Scummvm requires the manual.
