ScummVM support

United States

Hello, long time enjoyer of the franchise here. ScummVM's most recent daily builds (with the version number 2.8 ) have support for Secrets Can Kill. I ran through the game today with the Aprill 11 2023 build and did not notice anything odd or peculiar, in fact I think the game runs quite well. I did some test speedruns of both No-Glitch and Any%, both went okay for my first time speedrunning either category (yes the glitch does work in scummvm!). The only road bump I see is that the standard "stack of books" menu is replaced with ScummVM's default menu. I have not tested how fast it would take to save and load in ScummVM compared to saving/loading natively in Windows because I am simply not experienced enough in speedrunning Nancy Drew to try. Regardless, I would like to submit these runs I did today, but I would like to ask for permission first. Is it cool if I submit these ScummVM runs?

I'm not a mod, but I wanted to list some troubling differences I've found testing myself.

  1. There's no delay on right click scene rotation
  2. Time to save/load is faster, there's no delay past the first menu click; in the original, each menu button press waits for the sound to end to progress
  3. Conversations appear to move slightly faster, but I haven't A/B compared it

Cool tech for sure, though I think it provides a significant time advantage over the original game.
