ResidualVM

A beta version of ResidualVM is now available from here. Based on ScummVM, ResidualVM is a cross-platform 3D game interpreter which allows you to play certain 3D adventure games, including Grim Fandango, Escape from Monkey Island and Myst III: Exile.

Please note that this build may potentially be unstable, and is only posted for testing purposes. As such, it should not be considered as an official release. Any feedback would be much appreciated. In particular, please submit any bugs you may come across to the bug tracker.

(As an aside, is it possible to rename this topic? I accidentally saved the post too early, resulting in an incomplete title.)

I tried it with Grim Fandango – it spent ages checking the files then just quit. Trying to reload and start the game again results in the window going black, then it quits. This is on an Armbook.

Could you post the contents of <Choices$Write>.Logs.residualvm, <Choices$Write>.stdout and <Choices$Write>.stderr, in case they provide any information about why it might have crashed?

I had a look at the files, and some something that looked like a memory allocation problem, I realised I had Aemulor running which limits limits how much memory applications can have (at least it has a setting to do so).

So, quit that and it now runs.

Thanks!

Hi Cameron ResidualVM looks great and I am looking to buy copies of the three games that you mention. Have you any advice avout the platform for the game. PC would be my first choice but playstation versions are also available. Many thanks

@Cameron
Looking at Chris error report: if Aemultor causes problems with memory allocation then might be useful that you check on startup of the ScummVM/ResidualVM if Aemulator is loaded and show a warning?
