Ok this is getting clearer, two blurred point remain though:

1. What do you mean "Boot up WinUAE with the PC drives mounted", what PC drives ?

2. Does ScummVM actuallly run on top of UAE or does it have it's own emu ? (unnecessary but interesting to know)

1. in the HardDrives section tick the "Mount PC drives at startup" option.

2. ScummVM is able to run the Monkey Island game data files without emulation on your PC :-)

The question that arises then must be: where does WinUAE then fit an all this ? cant ScummVM take care of the adf-images itself ?

Nope, only WinUAE can read the ADF images. so you need that to get the Monkey Island data from the amiga disk files to the PC drive.

Ok, finally clarified, with one exception, you said boot WinUAE with PC drives mounted (ticked) in hardfiles section ... hmmm why do I have the feeling that I'm confused again, hehe, not funny though !

See the ScummVM website for some details.  And no I don't think ScummVM can deal with the .ADF files directly.

Ok, this is perhaps wy most imporatnt question in this topic: will it also run old pc dos (ms-dos) games (like Monkey Island 2) with possible scan-lines, blurred etc of the graphic output ? because running old games (3XX x 2xx) is not a pleasure for the eyes.

Nevermind the last question, I've got my answer from that page, thanks.

You just need to be able to access the PC hard drive from the Amiga Side of the UAE emulator so that you can get the files from the Amiga disk images to the PC :-)

ScummVM will run all loads of Graphic adventure games, I use it on my PDA and I love it.

[Einstein]

Alright, so I'll have to copy through cli/shell I figure ?

[bloodline]

Or Workbench or Dopus, whatever you prefer to use.

I must unfortunately say that it didnt work, well I DID pull out the files and placed them in a folder under ScummVM but Scummvm cannot find them, I've tried to start it from CMD with "scummvm --platform=amiga --path=monkey" etc. but I didnt find them, I got the prompt "could not find monkey.000" so I rename some of the files according but got some weird message with a distorted first charcter in CMD, just to let you know I modified the input sources of Fx keys to the NUMPAD keys in WinUAE, so I'm able to load/save now.
