I have started to put together notes on the format of the models in the full version of Grim Fandango. It has some holes however and any suggestions would be welcome etc. I probably won't get a chance to look at this further for a bit anyway. I hav...  [Read More]

If someone writes a converter (or you could use mplayer if you use some form of unix when it hopefully gets smush support) yes. Assuming it uses the same codecs as the games that ScummVM supports. Some rather brief notes I threw together on smush in...  [Read More]

Sorry, it's not scumm, its GrimE, just like Monkey 4. I don't think ScummVM will ever support it. And its a shame Lucas never ported Grim to Mac. It was far better than MI4, IMHO. You'll have to wait till residual is done, an old screenshot can be f...  [Read More]
