[peter8]

Adventure fans you read right ! The classic bloody gore sex fetish PC game Phantasmagoria part 1 and 2 are playable on your PS VITA or PSTV with the updated version of ScummVM v2.7.0. Maybe some one remember this games was released on insane 7 CDRoms or 5CDRoms ! I was also try this games on my Wii and PS3 with DosBox and the result was not good. The VITA seems the first one with the best possible result. ScummVM was having tons of problems with Phantasmagoria, but since the update from 2.6.0 its working and with 2.7.0 a lot of fixes right now. This games are so big and intense, so just create a own topic.

Phantasmagoria 1 & 2 .. what a blast from the past ..! i actually have never tried SCUMM games yet on Ps Vita ...i could always play Monkey island again anytime .... Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.. oh yes i'm looking at you ...

@ SuperDan :

Same as you, never try out ScummVM, but Phantasmagoria was new on compatible list. I have done Phantasmagoria 1 and its works perfect ! Phantasmagoria 2 I am on chapter 3 Disc 3, its the half, working perfect so far ! Amazing, million thanks to ScummVM team for the port. I had request last year a PC port of Phantasmagoria, now its working. I was not having the same good result on the Wii or PS3.

BTW :
Its highly possible that X-Files Game PC version will also work ! It was also a 7 CDRom game, great the same like Phantasmagoria. Will test later. Since the PSX copy dont work on any system correctly.
EDIT : X-Files dont work, CDRom version

There was also a new ScummVM version released for the Nintendo Wii and Phantasmagoria 1 & 2 is also perfect playable with GameCube controller !

Extra Note :

Found a other way to get X-Files Game to work. Since the PC version is not compatible, was re-try the PSX version.

The PSX version from X-Files make a lot of problems with texture erros and missing music, on PS2 with original disc or with pops fmcb, PS3 rebug, Wii Emulation, PSVita Adrenalin, nothing works there. The ONLY way to play the PSX version perfect is over original disc and original PSX system, otherwise PC Emulation.

Emu4Vita Arch v.1.08 is the first homebrew emulator who can perfect work with the X-Files Game on the VITA ! I have done complete Disc1-4, Yeah, million thanks.
There is only one problem, I can not change the Disc over the setting menu, so Disc 1 to Disc 2. Otherwise I must try to recreate a PSX save file on the PC system and convert it to Vita back for the jump to Disc 2,3,4.
Otherwise X-Files Disc 1 German PSX PAL fully working now on VITA !
