[Scummvm-devel] ScummVM 0.12.0: Release status -- 2008-07-13

Hi,

> Ports status:

> Wii: ?

The port builds and is in a working state.

Some users report various problems, most of those are related to libfat 
(provides r/w access to SD cards):
- Poor performace. This results in lags, temporary freezes, dropped 
frames and/or a/v getting out of sync
- Faulty reading. The stdio function to load resources succeed, but the 
loaded data is garbage. Sometimes the internal debugger pops up, 
sometimes the app justs exits.

Most of the reports on the forum are related to these problems. On top 
of that, the errors are not reproducible. I'm having a hard time hunting 
these down, with little success so far :(

See above, its a libfat failure.

I could reproduce this. Again: its libfat (cache problem). Hopefully 
fixed by 0.12.0.


Some features are missing:
- Screen shaking
- Mouse cursor scaling
- AR correction

I plan to implement those while rewiting the gfx code for the port (its 
inefficient and ugly). Because of lack of time: after 0.12.0

To summarize it:
Port works fine for most users. Most problems are not directly related 
to the port itself. Some features are missing, but i think its in a 
pretty good shape for a first official release.
