ScummVM

ScummVM began as a way to play LucasArts adventures and now covers more than 325 games, from LucasArts, Sierra On-Line, Revolution Software, Cyan and Westwood Studios among others. In its README’s words: “ScummVM allows you to play classic graphic point-and-click adventure games, text adventure games, and RPGs, as long as you already have the game data files. ScummVM replaces the executable files shipped with the games”. That makes it different from an emulator: “ScummVM is a complete rewrite of these games’ executables and is not an emulator.” The project says of itself: “We also do not run advertisements or sell you anything.”

On Android

• Three touch modes, set separately for menus, 2D games and 3D games: direct mouse, touchpad emulation and gamepad emulation. There is an on-screen button for the game menu, a virtual keyboard, and support for game controllers.
• Android TV support, and shortcuts to single games on the home screen.
• Your files through Android’s folder picker. Since Android 7.0, ScummVM reaches your games through folders you grant it access to; saves and settings stay in its own app folder unless you change the save path.
• Backup and restore of your settings and saved games.

What goes online

From the code of this version, nothing connects with default settings: there is no update check on Android and we found no analytics or crash reporting.

• Cloud saves with Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive or Box, once you connect an account, which goes through ScummVM’s server cloud.scummvm.org, and then switch the storage on. From then on, saves sync when ScummVM starts and each time you save or load.
• A local web server for moving game files and saves from a computer, when you tap Run server. It answers anyone on your network on port 12345, and we found no password in its code, so stop it when you are done.
• Icon and shader packs download from scummvm.org when you tap the buttons for them.
• Online play in some Humongous Entertainment sports games, such as Backyard Football, through ScummVM’s multiplayer server, when you start a network game.

About this file

• This is ScummVM 2026.3.0, released on 20 June 2026, with its Android build from the next day. Since 2026 the version number starts with the year. This release adds games such as Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel, Noctropolis and the Pilot Brothers series; for Android, ScummVM’s notes on Google Play list “Reworked the sound subsystem to use the Oboe audio library” and “Fixed a crash related to Cloud storage on OneDrive”.
• The file is the 64-bit ARM build from scummvm.org, byte for byte, matching the SHA-256 that scummvm.org publishes next to it. It is signed with ScummVM’s key from 2011 (O=ScummVM, c59c0677…f995). ScummVM also offers builds for 32-bit ARM, including one for older chips without NEON, and for x86.
• The 129.8 MB file needs Android 5.0 or later: the app’s manifest says Android 4.1, but its 64-bit native code is built for Android 5.0, the first version with 64-bit support. It declares 5 permissions: internet, network and Wi-Fi state, and storage access on Android 12 and older. Our scan found no trackers.
• ScummVM is licensed under the GPL-3.0 or later; its fonts and some components come under the SIL Open Font License, the LGPL, BSD and Apache licences, as its licence files list. The default soundfont for music, Roland_SC-55.sf2, is described by ScummVM as “Copyright (c) 2015 deemster. Licensed under the GPL v3 (or greater)”, while the file’s own information says “Sound Canvas Pure.sf2” and “Copyright 1996 Roland Corporation U.S.”; where its samples come from we couldn’t establish. The engine data files hold no games, but some contain tables, strings, fonts or a title picture and music taken from the original games’ programs, which ScummVM ships with every version.
• The app is translated into Brazilian Portuguese, about three quarters of it.
• The screenshots show only ScummVM’s own screens, from its store images (version 2.7.1) and its Android documentation.

CPU types in this build: arm64-v8a (64-bit ARM, almost every phone since 2017).
