Hey, I noticed the new Cutscene pack downloads for the demos guys, cheers for that! Although I kinda wish the BS2 pack would've been the proper full edition (i.e. the CD version of the demo which had an extra movie or two). AFAIK I only ever saw this "full" demo on a PC Format disc back th...

It's been quite a while since the game first got supported. And if it's possible to compress Kyrandia's speech now..... well..... I also noticed compress_saga no longer appears to exist in the tools package. Was that the intended tool to use I wonder?

Or is it one of those MP3-only things at the moment?

Would be nice if there was some table or something detailing which features exist in each port and which don't.

Oh yeah, and would it be possible to have the DC port use the same GUI as the other ports in the future? The simplistic one it's used for ages seems to have a dodgy game-detection system, plus I don't get why for icons it supports only 32x32 16-colours...... it might even be possible to save ScummVM...

As for MP3/Ogg playback: As I understand it, the DC port currently simply uses libmad for MP3 playback. Yeah, maybe a DC specific MP3 player which uses the AICA chip could help. I can't really answer that one, Marcus maybe could (I know that there is AICA based MP3 playback code out there, though)....

What I mean is have the MT-32 music from floppy MI1 available in MP3/OGG/FLAC form so that you can customise as to whether you want to hear it during Amiga MI1, PC CD MI1 or Sega CD MI1, stuff like that. It's something I certainly enjoy anyway! :-) I attempted to make my own before - but in a hacky ...

Sorry to sound really annoying here, but did Adventuresoft deny you permission, or have you yet to ask them about it?

Oh. Does that mean you literally have to get the manual out everytime you want to play it with ScummVM? What if, say, somebody bought a second-hand copy of the floppy version from eBay or a car boot sale and found none of the documentation was included in the box? Just thought I'd ask. Yes, since i...

The copy protection for a game is only disabled in ScummVM, if a game was re-released without the copy protection. The floppy versions of Simon the Sorcerer 1 & 2 were never re-released with the copy protection disabled. Oh. Does that mean you literally have to get the manual out everytime you ...

This sounds good! Have you tried experimenting with the Amiga MI1 music while we're on the subject of Amiga tunes?

I was just wondering whether that would be another way of making it work or whether it really does have to be specific TFMX code and that.

No, and it was brought several times that "since it has reduced colors, then it's not worth supporting". Well, at least our FOTAQ subteam doesn't want to work on it.

But it arguably has the better music out of both versions???

this place might be ideal. Price is a bit steepy though.

Will this all you'll be needing?

I was just wondering whether more support would be implemented for the two Maniac Mansion demos anytime soon? ScummVM at the moment can't detect the classic demo as it is, and if you rename the *.MAN files to *.LFL it assumes it's reading the full version and so complains of a missing *.LFL file. Th...
