Have been working on a new version of ScummSpeaks, with more sophisticated packing/unpacking (extract resources like VOC and MIDI, saves some data in XML files, etc). Support for SCUMM V5 is complete, but I don’t want to release it until I finish support for V4 and V3. Progress is currently stalled.

My butt pushed me off itself and forced me to make some Win32 binaries for the current revisions of ScummPacker, Scummbler, ScummSpeaks, and SCUMM Image Encoder (mi2img). They’re available on the main page, or after the break.
I MAY have uploaded the latest version of Scummbler without actually testing that it worked, and I MAY not have finished writing the code before I uploaded it. Then again, the moon landing MAY have been faked; we just can’t be sure about these things, can we?
Anyway, new version of Scummbler that actually works is [...]
