Hi,
As I said some days before, I'm porting ScummVM to the Mac. It's progressing
very well, you can already play games, just 2 Problems are remaining:
1. Sound... Never did any sound Programming, so I have to work into it.
2. Game Launching... As you may know, there is no Command Line in Mac OS (in
MacOS is one, but only a few users know how to use it) and it's not very
Comfortable to Launch the Game by Command Line, so I'm thinking about 2 ways
to solve it, either a Dialog when you launch ScummVM, where you can enter
the name of the Game, or a List, which auto-detects the Games installed into
the Current Directory.
Which of the ideas do you like better?

Current Features:
- Windowed Playing working very nice, basic Fullscreen Support
- Keyboard and Mouse Input works fine
- User can choose Fullscreen and Scaling at launch time

Still, the framerate is not really perfect, but I'll do some optimization
when everything works.

Greetings,
Mutwin

PS: This is my first port, and I'm very happy with it. Thanks to the team
for writing nearly the whole Application in ANSI/ISO standard. ;)
