What is ScummVM DS?
ScummVM DS is a part of the ScummVM project. The ScummVM project is an
attempt to re-engineer many classic point and click adventure games of the
80s and 90s to run on modern computer hardware. Technology has changed a
lot since these games were written, and so ScummVM attempts to replicate the
gameplay of the original games in exacting details, without any of the original
code that the game ran on. ScummVM needs a copy of the original game, in order
to take the graphics, sound, and scripts that made the game work.
ScummVM is written in such a way that it can be 'ported' from one type of
machine to another, and ScummVM DS is a port of ScummVM to the Nintendo DS
handheld games console.
The latest stable version of ScummVM DS can be found for download here:

Simple instructions on how to get started with ScummVM DS can be found in the readme_ds.txt file inside the ZIP file, or on the web here:

Features
Runs nearly all of Lucasarts' SCUMM games up to and including Sam
& Max Hit the Road

Which games are compatible with ScummVM DS?
I'm glad you asked. Here is a list of the compatible games in version
1.2.1. Demo versions of the games listed should work too.
Flight of the Amazon Queen, Beneath a Steel Sky, and Lure of the
Temptress have generously been released as freeware by the original
authors, Revolution Software . This is a
great thing and we should support Revolution for being so kind to us.
You can download the game data from the official ScummVM download page
The other games on this list are commercial, and still under copyright,
which means downloading them without paying for it is illegal. You can
probably find a second-hand copy on eBay. Please don't email me to ask
for a copy, as I am unable to send it to you.

scaling these games down to 256x192, the resolution of the DS screens.
