Overview
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[1]. 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.
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.
When the game originally used manual-based copy protection, DREAMM detects the game's request, and displays the correct response to the user.
Game Compatibility
While most original releases are supported, not all digital rereleases include the executable DREAMM needs to run the game. (Tested versions are English Windows releases, other languages/OSes may have different packaging)
