3	'''[=ScummVM=]''' (Script Creation Utility for ''VideoGame/ManiacMansion'' Virtual Machine, named after Creator/LucasArts' SCUMM MediaNotes/GameEngine) is a freeware and open source program--[[FandomEnragingMisconception not an emulator!]][[note]]Emulators such as UsefulNotes/{{MAME}} and UsefulNotes/DOSBox work by re-implementing general-purpose machine instructions. [=ScummVM=] instead consists of newly-written code to read a particular game's data files and scripts, replacing the .exe or other executable file. The end result of running games on modern platforms is the same, but the under the hood implementation is very different.[[/note]]--that allows users to run classic AdventureGames and {{Western RPG}}s in modern systems. It was originally started by Ludvig Strigeus and Vincent Hamm, with the first ever version releasing in 2001 for [[Platform/MicrosoftWindows Windows]] and Platform/{{Linux}}.
4
5	In 2009, thanks to the project's stability, version 1.0.0 was officially released, which included a change in logo. In 2017, [=ScummVM=] 2.0 was released, marking the first release that supported [[InteractiveMovie Full Motion Video-based games]].
6
7	A sister project, [=ResidualVM=], was launched in 2003. As [=ScummVM=] only supported simpler 2D games at the time, [=ResidualVM=] was meant to support more-demanding 3D games. However, its development stalled due to a lack of developers, reaching only version 0.3.1 and only supporting four games. Over time, systems became more powerful and the need for two different apps was reduced, so in 2020-2021 [=ResidualVM=] was merged into [=ScummVM=] so that developers could pool their resources, advancing the latter program to version 2.5.0 ([[{{Pun}} due to its suport of 2.5D games]]).
8
9	Due to its open source status, over 850 people contributed to the project, with a number of game companies and developers donating their source code. In turn, many supported games have been re-released on Platform/GOGDotCom and Platform/{{Steam}} using [=ScummVM=].
10
11	[=ScummVM=] can be downloaded from its [[https://www.scummvm.org/news/archive/ official website]]. It's currently supported for [[Platform/MicrosoftWindows Windows]], Platform/{{Linux}}, Platform/MacOS, Platform/{{iOS}}, Platform/{{Amiga}}OS, Platform/{{Android}}, Platform/NintendoDS, Platform/NintendoWii, Platform/Nintendo3DS, Platform/NintendoSwitch, Platform/PlayStation3, Platform/PlayStationPortable, Platform/PlaystationVita and Platform/SegaDreamcast.
