I do not post here often, matter of fact don't remember doing it before at all. Would love to be able to download the following old, old games from GOG.com = Shivers (1), Dreamfall, Grim Fandango, Neverhood and Temujin, also D'ni from the Myst series and the other "sequel" to URU forget the name. Have played all these long time ago, have them all on disc but sometimes the newer computers won't load/launch them. Thanks and see ya later

See the bottom of the page for a link to the wishlist.

The launcher is obsolete.

unless they have 100% compability i wouldnt say its completely obsolete.

Here is the link: http://www.gog.com/wishlist

I completed it late last year using it. Crashed on very rare occasions. Perfect otherwise.

You will never get 100% compatibility. The maximum ScummVM will ever go to on a game is 98%. Same goes for Residual.

Since it's a portable rewrite of the GrimE engine, it is far more sustainable than a launcher that automatically adds compatibility options for you. It is a modernised, constantly developed code base.

Even bgbennyboy himself will tell you the launcher is pointless now in the face of Residual.

Some of those are already here.

Dreamfall:

well i can only speak for the monkey island launcher but that worked fine with me too, no crashing, finished it to the end.
i have tried the grim fandango launcher and played for 15 minutes without problems.

and there is still a big difference between 80 and 98% compability.

it seems like an admirable project, and i hope it becomes as big as scummvm and they add alot more games. but how long have they been at it and how many games have they now?

I don't think you really appreciate how hard it is to completely recreate a game engine.

Take a look.

i do appreciate it, but my point is if grim fandango works as fine as monkey island did with the monkey island launcher then the launcher (in my eyes) is not obselete especially if residual still gives bugs in the game.

but not like residual is needed to play , you can always get a virtual machine and run it in there.

dont know if they are affiliated with scummvm or that they starting from scratch?

i wanted to replay grim fandango but i am sure to help them out testing it.
