Re: GOG Preservation Program

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father has been added to the program. They actually did something useful. They added the option to use either DOSBox or ScummVM as the emulator. I know that people have been complaining about the game executable being removed from ScummVM games making DOSBox not an option. This is the full changelog:

1.1 GOG v2 changelog (29 October 2026):
  • Added the DOS version running on DOSBox with a tuned configuration, booting in VGA mode just as it did back in 1993.
  • Added the Windows version running on ScummVM with its own tuned configuration, booting in SVGA mode.
  • Added a launcher, so picking between the two takes one click.
  • Added the GOG Game Configurator, your one stop shop for tweaking DOSBox and ScummVM settings without touching a config file.
  • Turned subtitles on by default in both versions. No more missing a line of that excellent voice cast.
  • Updated the in game hints to point you toward the included goodies, since the original Sierra hint line and printed manual pages are long gone.
  • Added Cloud Saves support to both versions.
  • Added the Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers graphic novel as a downloadable goodie.
  • Added the Gabriel Knight making of documentary as a downloadable goodie.
  • Added the original Gabriel Knight trailer as a downloadable goodie.
  • Validated stability.
