Virtual Machines / Remake News

Da es sich bei ScummVM um keinen Emulator handelt, dachte ich, ich erstelle mal einen Extra-Thread.

HeR Interactive’s The Vampire Diaries and Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill are now ready for testing in ScummVM!
The Vampire Diaries follows Elena Gilbert, a high school student who discovers vampires are living in her hometown after one of them attacks her younger sister. The game is loosely based on the book series of the same name by author L. J. Smith, which later got adapted into a hit TV series.
Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill is the first installment of the long-running Nancy Drew game series, also based on a book series of the same name. In her first adventure, Nancy seeks to uncover the killer of a high school student who seems to have been disliked by all of his classmates.
You will need the data files from the games’ original install CDs, and a fresh daily build of ScummVM. Apart from the original release, Secrets Can Kill’s Russian translation is also supported. The ScummVM wiki pages for The Vampire Diaries and Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill contain information on which datafiles are needed. Please, report any problems you encounter in our issue tracker.

Wine 11.3 / https://www.winehq.org/news/2026022001

Wine (ursprünglich ein Akronym für "Wine Is Not an Emulator") ist eine Kompatibilitätsschicht, die es ermöglicht, Windows-Anwendungen unter POSIX-konformen Betriebssystemen auszuführen, wie z.B. Linux, macOS und BSD. Statt interne Windows-Logik zu simulieren, wie eine virtuelle Maschine oder ein Emulator, übersetzt Wine die Windows-API-Aufrufe in Echtzeit zu entsprechenden POSIX-Aufrufen und eliminiert somit die Performance- und Speichereinbußen, die andere Methoden nach sich ziehen. Wine erlaubt es auf diese Weise, Windows-Anwendungen sauber in Ihre Desktopumgebung zu integrieren.

Mono engine updated to version 11.0.0

Bundled vkd3d upgraded to version 1.19.

Improved FIR filter in DirectSound.

More optimizations in PDB loading.

Light theme renamed to Aero for compatibility.

Various bug fixes.

DREAMM 4.0 released / https://dreamm.aarongiles.com/

I've just released version 4.0 of my bespoke LucasArts, Lucasfilm, and Lucas Learning emulator DREAMM. Check it out here: https://dreamm.aarongiles.com/

Now with support for all Lucas-family games released prior to 2000 on DOS, Windows, and FM-Towns, including all 8 Lucas Learning games. Network play is also now supported (experimentally).

Since I always tend to get the same questions when I announce a new DREAMM release, I'll point you to my FAQ as a starting point if you're wondering why DREAMM exists, how it's different from other solutions like ScummVM or DOSBox, or a host of other questions: https://dreamm.aarongiles.com/docs/v40/#faq
