Kurz:         Amiga Portierung von ScummVM

Overview:

ScummVM is an interpreter that allows you to run certain classic graphical
point-and-click adventure games on an Amiga (provided you have their data
files).  The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables
shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they
were never designed! This Amiga ScummVM port only supports certain ScummVM
game engines (see the About Box within the ScummVM Launcher).


Requirements:

1) An AGA Amiga (PAL only).
2) 68060 processor or better (PiStorm recommended).
3) AHI installed and configured.
4) Music packs for digital music playback.
5) CAMD library installed and configured for native MIDI playback.
6) The original games (or demos).


Features:

    * Double buffered 16-bit SFX and speech
    * MIDI music emulation (no hardware required)
    * Double buffered 8-bit graphics
    * External MIDI support (using the CAMD library)
    * 16-bit GUI (converted to 8-bit in real-time!)
    * Screen shake (shake it baby)
    * Back ported OS4, MorphOS and AROS code
    * Compressed music support (OGG/WAV)


Configuration:

You *MUST* use the ScummVM Launcher to update 
all of the paths manually (save/theme/extra).
You can also manually add the following to your own INI file:
The 'close_wb' configuration option can be used to close the Workbench.
The 'mixer_priority' configuration option can be used set the mixer 
thread priority (default is 1).
The 'output_rate' configuration option can be used set the mixer 
frequency (default is 11025).
There are various configuration options within the ScummVM Launcher (see
the official ScummVM readme for more details).
Set your global settings to use the 2x scaler and enable aspect ratio correction
for a high resolution launcher and then set each game to override
the global settings to use the 1x scaler and disable aspect ratio correction.
When running from the Shell you must specify a stack of at least 300,000.
You will need to install the CAMD library if you want to use an external MIDI
device.


Performance Considerations:

1) Fast File System is actually not, use PFS3 instead.
2) Playing compressed music or video on a real 68k CPU will be very slow.
3) Use v4.18 of AHI as the later versions are too slow.
4) If you are using Paula try the 'FAST' audio AHI modes.
5) Try reducing the audio playback frequency down to 11k if you're still having
   performance issues.
6) Image scaling will add an additional overhead, this includes enabling
   aspect ratio correction.


Limitations:

1) FLAC compressed audio/music files are not supported.
2) Only specific 'AGA 68k friendly' game engines are supported.
3) Only specific 'AGA 68k friendly' video codecs are supported.
