Freesci?

anyone planning on making a Pandora port of FreeSCI? i would love to be able to play Kings Quest 6, and Robin Hood Conquest of the Longbow.

Short answer, from what I've read, yes. It may actually become part of ScummVM..? I'm not an authority on the matter, that's just what I've read around the traps.

ScummVM supporting the later SCI games would be sweet. its a shame FreeSCI never materialized on the GP2X, despite someone supposedly working on it.

Just had a dig around, here's where I got my vague info:

I'm a member of the FreeSCI team. There are indeed plans for turning FreeSCI into a ScummVM module. This is a lot of work though, so it will be a while before you'll see this module in a ScummVM release. At the moment, it would be best to port FreeSCI if you want an SCI interpreter on Pandora.

I should point out that support for newer SCI games in FreeSCI is still ongoing. KQ5 and Longbow do run, but cannot be beaten yet, while other games like KQ6 do not run at all.

Good to hear from a FreeSCI team member. Glad to hear that it is likely for FreeSCI to be a ScummVM module. I'm willing to wait.
