With the release of Team Twiizers’ Twilight Hack, the Wii homebrew scene has pretty much boomed – and everything from simple games to full-blown emulators are making the rounds with the motion-sensing console.

And this particular update is no exception, where we catch wind of the latest public test release of ScummVM Wii, the emulator that lets you play those old point-and-click adventure games from the heydays of LucasArts – and it’s all thanks to homebrew developer dhewg to make it happen. Let’s check out what’s new with it, shall we?

Here’s the changelog, taken directly from the release page:

test 2

• screen is only updated if necessary
• no more flicker on the BASS intro
• better performance
• games with higher screen resolutions are now drawn correctly
• fixed some palette bugs

As always, please make sure you’re up to speed in Wii homebrew before trying to install or execute this homebrew. With that, we leave you to experience the greatness of Day of the Tentacle or Grim Fandango – games you should not live on without playing.
