The emulator was started by Aaron Giles, a former LucasArts programmer, in response to what he perceived as mishandling of the rereleases of company's back catalog<ref>https://aarongiles.com/dreamm/docs/v21/#faq-why</ref>. Unlike most other emulators, DREAMM deliberately only runs a curated selection of games. The initial release only supported the SCUMM-based games, but has since v2.0 expanded to also include other LucasArts games released in the 1990s. As of v2.1 27 games and multimedia applications are supported. (40 in the 3.0 beta)

For DOS games, DREAMM offers a choice of video (Hercules, CGA, Tandy/PCJr, EGA, VGA and MCGA) and sound hardware (PC Speaker, SN76496, GameBlaster, AdLib, Soundblaster 16, Roland MT-32 and General MIDI) based on what the game originally supported. For Windows games, Direct3D emulation is available when the game supports it. The options available are specific to each game.

==Recommended game versions==
 
−
''This list only considers versions playable on DREAMM and is by its very nature subjective''
 
−
;Maniac Mansion
 
−
:The GOG release includes an EXE for v2 DOS. Unfortunately it has a poorly made crack applied to it which makes large sections of the game optional with certain characters (since Bernard and Michael does not need the envelope in the safe to finish the game, the whole attic section above Edna's room can be skipped as well as using the telescope to read the code printed under the safe, in addition to the time saved on not having to fix the wires in the second attic or waiting for Dr Fred to play Meteor Mess). Unless you intend to speedrun the game, it's recommended to get an uncracked version elsewhere.
 
−
;Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
 
−
:FM Towns version has CD audio tracks using music from the movie. Unfortunately that version is also a buggy mess.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20071022031124/http://home.comcast.net/~ervind/ij3fmtowns.html</ref> YMMV whether the EGA or 256 color version looks better. EGA version has a funny scene when you fail the copy protection check not in the 256 color version.
 
−
;LOOM
 
−
:The game's designer Brian Moriarty considers the EGA version to be the definitive version.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150513021431/https://twitter.com/ProfBMoriarty/status/578922059302072320</ref> For best music quality install the Roland patch and use Roland MT-32 as MIDI device. Worth keeping in mind that the version in LucasArts Classic Adventures pack skips the copy protection screen, this version may be preferable for players wanting to get in the game quick.<br> Alternatively, the FM Towns version has 256 color graphics and CD audio while still keeping the script unabridged.
 
−
;Secret of Monkey Island
 
−
:The Ultimate Talkie Edition, besides the addition of voices from the Special Edition, also supports Roland MT-32 music combined with sound effects (missing in other versions when using a Roland MT-32 device) as well as having several bug fixes.
 
−
;Monkey Island 2
 
−
:Ultimate Talkie Edition for voices (there are far less differences between versions than there are for the first games). Note that there is a bug in the Ultimate Talkie Edition where if you acquire all the map pieces without picking up the lighthouse lens on Phatt you will be left on Scabb by Captain Dread leaving the game softlocked.
 
−
;Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
 
−
:The PC version has better music quality compared to the FM Towns version.
 
−
 
−
==Roland MT-32 ROMs==
 
−
To use MT-32 emulation, you want the files ctrl_mt32_1_07.rom and pcm_mt32.rom
