Backyard Baseball is currently available on these platforms: Windows (1997) BackyardBaseball1997ScummVMFilesEN.7z (90.9MB) BackyardBaseball1997WinISOEN.7z (391MB) How to play on Windows. It's just that I often see people asking for 'Playstation roms' or 'Saturn roms' - and I don't think they mean the BIOS roms So I apologise for any unfair assumptions, these are just the experiences I made. We might have the game available for more than one platform. Well, I agree that most gamers using C64 emulators had a real C64 once. Very few games were ever released as a module - see this link for a complete list. ROMs are either the built-in ROM chips holding the KERNAL and BASIC or the modules you put in the expansion port.

I wouldn't call a D64 or T64 image a ROM. Most people who use an emulator to emulate C64 games have or had a C64 I don't think that there are at all people who don't know that they use disk or tape ROMs. This is grossly oversimplified and inaccurate but hopefully gets the point across.ĬTMN wrote:And C64 images ARE called ROMs(i'm having this nice computer and I read much on C64 forums), there are also real ROMs because the C64 has an expansion port for ROM modules(that aren't so famous as disks and tapes). We call those 'hardcoded' and usually won't be supported by ScummVM since it would require a rewrite of all the logic instead of just writing a logic-interpreter. Some games don't have the logic in separate data files and it is sort of interwoven in the game executable itself. ScummVM reimplements the engines but still needs the original game data. They are all games which the developers wrote engines (script interpreters) for and had game scripts be a separate (document-like) piece. ScummVM games are like that for the most part. It still needs the data (the doc files) to 'run' the letter/document. It doesn't emulate Microsoft Word but is a reimplementation of it. A letter/document written in word is really two pieces: the doc file itself and the word processor program. You can have a reimplementation of a flash plugin and be able to (more or less) play those games given the game data file (swf).Īnother analogy is Microsoft Word. The flash games are the 'document' or 'game data' or 'script' or whatever you like and the flash player is the 'engine'. The '16:9 widescreen mod' option in the Game tab removes the letterbox margins at the top and bottom of the screen and moves all inventory item graphics into the displayed area, allowing the game to be scaled up to larger sizes on widescreen displays.Another analogy is flash browser games. To use them, extract the subtitles files into the game directory, then enable subtitles via the Audio tab of the game options or global options.Īdditional subtitles for sound-based puzzles can be enabled via the 'Enable subtitles for important sound effects' option on the Game tab. Setting a GM device in Global Options is strongly recommended for music that resembles the original game.Įnglish subtitles are available as an add-on from the downloads page: You can copy all files from the CD-ROM to the game directory, or at least the following files: Demo English w/Cinematic Trailer - Windows and Macintoshįor more information on how ScummVM uses game data files, see the user documentation.Ĭopy all files from the CD-ROMs to the game directory.
