6.1) Autosaves:
---- ----------
Because ScummVM is still a beta product, it -can- crash and/or hang
occasionally. As such, every five minutes it will save a game in Slot 0. This
game can be loaded via Ctrl-0, or the F5 menu. This autosaving does not,
however, occur with Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, nor with Broken Sword 1 and 2.
For some games (namely "Beneath a Steel Sky", "Flight of the Amazon
Queen" and all SCUMM games), ScummVM will by default automatically
save the current state every five minutes (adjustable via the
"autosave_period" config setting). For the SCUMM enbgine, it will save
in Slot 0. This savestate can then be loaded again via Ctrl-0, or the
F5 menu.

By default, on most operating systems, ScummVM will automatically use Adlib
emulation. MIDI may not be available on all operating systems or may need
manual configuration. If you ARE using MIDI, you have several different
choices of output, depending on your operating system and configuration.

---- ----------
You need SDL-1.2.2 or newer (older versions may work, but are unsupported), and
a supported compiler. Several compilers, including GCC, mingw and Microsoft
Visual C++ are supported. If you wish to use MP3-compressed CD tracks or
.SOU files, you will need to install the MAD library and define
USE_MAD. Tools for compressing .SOU files to .SO3 files can be
found in the 'tools' SVN module, or in the 'scummvm-tools' package.
