DAGII is new software that replicates the original AGI interpreter from Sierra's Adventure Games.
DAGII is a significant project in its scope, similar to projects like Sarien and NAGI, but has been written from scratch. With some impressive features such as partial emulation of AGI, estimated accuracy of 90%, and loading games directly from ZIP files without the need to unzip first, users can spend hours enjoying their favorite old-school games.
The software also boasts an in-game GUI for changing options, limited save game support, AGI tools such as ViewBrowser and PictureViewer, as well as a screenshot ability - allowing players to capture their favorite game moments.
DAGII is straightforward to use. Once the binary is created in the 'src' directory (installed by default into the /usr/local/bin directory), syntax is as follows: "dagii [-v] [-h] [-t] [-o] [-d < dump-file >] [-i < info-file >] [-l < num >] [-p] < game-dir >". Where -v is for version information, -h is for showing the help screen, -o is for showing object information, and so forth.
The software also includes a feature where if < game-dir > is removed, DAGII will attempt to find games for itself. There are some requirements to run DAGII, including Simple DirectMedia Layer 1.2.9, libpng 1.2.8 (optional), and zlib 1.2.1 (optional).
In this new release, sound support has been implemented, and several emulation bugs have been fixed, enhancing the user experience. Overall, DAGII is a great software that adventure game lovers should try out.
