While I could navigate around to the intro sequence, the trophy case, the player cards, the pick-up window, the league play sign-in, and I could even create teams, there were three things I could not do. Then, I downloaded ScummVM and uploaded the files to it, and the game actually showed up on the list! Then, I clicked on the game, and it opened!īut there was a problem. Then I had found files online that claimed to work with ScummVM. I had been looking to play Backyard Baseball 1997, and had found out that ScummVM was the best way to do it.

And only the 2.8.x branch of ScummVM has this functionality.So I have posted here before. * only the Windows, macOS, Debian, Raspberry Pi, and Android builds are compatible with network play at the moment. This fantastic art is done by a fellow BSO community member Peppyrus. If you encounter any issues playing online, please let us know via the issue tracker. Please note that Backyard Football and Backyard Baseball 2001 require online accounts for the complete online experience, so you need to register to Backyard Sports Online, which is our fantastic online-play service and a thriving community of fellow Backyard Sports players, they even have a couple of competitive online Baseball and Football leagues, if that's your style, you can find more information in their Discord server! People who already have a Backyard Sports Online account can log in using the latest daily build and play, but if you do not, you can register right here! This is not required to play Backyard Football 2002 online. These are LittleToonCat, Jim “jibbodahibbo” Westerkamp and Sam “QuestionMonkey” Kupfer. This all became possible because the three developers from the Backyard Sports Online fork had joined the team and brought their services with them to the ScummVM.

We are proud to announce that network-enabled Humongous Entertainment titles are now playable online! Anyone who has a copy of Backyard Football, Backyard Baseball 2001, and even Backyard Football 2002 (which was originally a LAN-only title) can download the latest daily build* of ScummVM and play online games against real people!
