[Scummvm-devel] DS SCUMM saves

Hi all,

If I understand it correctly, clone2727 noticed on
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/5af782c5d279b0b3b54ee041bb50c8fec2d35fd3#commitcomment-686712
that currently DS SCUMM saves are incompatible with non-DS SCUMM saves, which
would be very undesirable.

Is this indeed the case? If so, would it be feasible to fix this before the
release? And for which games is it fixable?

New DS versions of ScummVM would have to be compatible with both old DS saves
and new "universal" saves. This should be doable with a version bump of SCUMM
saves, at least for non-FM TOWNS games, if I understand this correctly.
Ideally new DS versions of ScummVM should also be compatible with old non-DS
saves, but I'm not sure if that would be possible at all.


Could anyone familiar with this code confirm or explain further?


-Willem Jan
