Static (cross) builds can still be downloaded as
dailies/nightlies from
https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/snapshots
or far more infrequently as full plugin builds from
https://gofile.me/7hB4K/aX7Wwl2aY
(Both won't work with Amiga browsers!!!)

NOTE:
There is a known issue with audio buffer calculation.
The internal calculation sets the buffer to 1024.
This setting however is known to be too low and can
lead to audible "thuds" in numerous games while
music/audio plays.
To fix it, either let ScummVM create a fresh .ini
file or manually add below setting to scummvm.ini
(anywhere beneath [scummvm])
audio_buffer_size=2048

A word to the Syberia games:
They are supported and compiled in, but they won't
run as of now, as they need to get their own shaders
written, which has not happened yet, so please,
don't send bug reports of Syberia crashes.
