Re: Slowing Down AGI?

I think I see now. The function calculates for how many "clock cycles" the message box is displayed, but it's calculating it with the assumption that one second is 20 clock cycles. That may have been true once (several years ago?), but now it appears to be 40.

Re: Slowing Down AGI?

I'm playing KQ3 and the introduction goes by quite fast on modern computer, even on ScummVM. (This is a little exacerbated by the fact that I enjoy reading the games' dialogue text out loud, when I am alone in the room.) Is there a way to slow ScummVM down? I don't know of any. I mean, you can slow...

Re: Nemesis in Full Screen Mode

The bottom of the screen is used for subtitles, if you've installed the subtitle patch that Activision released for it. I don't remember off-hand if it's used for anything else.

Re: EcoQuest: is the CD version talkie?

TrivialBalderdash is saying that the Talkie version has a RESOURCE.AUD file that is 305MB and the total of the game is 318MB... You're saying yours is almost 300MB? Is yours this one: https://ibb.co/vkrW3xP ? The "du" command says 298 MB. The resource.aud file is 292 MB, or 305,187,924 by...

Re: EcoQuest: is the CD version talkie?

I want to buy a copy of EcoQuest, the Search for Cetus from eBay. This would be a Sierra Originals edition. Is it talkie? Are all CD versions of EcoQuest talkie? The seller doesn't know. I only have a loose CD, and I haven't played it much. But it says "Sierra Originals" on the back, ther...

I thought that used a different game engine, more akin to Return to Monkey Island?

Re: Which Version of Gold Rush on Steam?

Scummvm now refuses to run the dos floppy version of Gold Rush with message that required files are missing. Probably a pirated version. Though Macintosh version runs fine The version I bought from The Software Farm years ago seems to work. Based on what was written earlier, I guess that's the same...

Re: Which games would you like to be supported on the future?

Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Director/Games lists Frankenstein as a Director 4.0b1 game. I don't know how close that is to being supported, though. Some other Director 4 games supposedly work well, but I imagine it depends a lot on exactly which p...

Re: Idea for possible optional visual improvement for downscaled sprites

Still I keep hoping a dev can shed some light on whether this would be possible with acceptable effort. I, of course, don't expect anyone to put it on the top of his list, but maybe someone could point me to the place(s) where the scaled sprite is written into the image buffer. Then maybe someone c...

Re: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Explain this mistery to me

Yes, but file XX.LFL is in disk 3 for the 3.5" version, and in disk 6 for the 5.25" version. How does the game know whether to request disk 3 or disk 6? Let's say that disk 1 is currently in the drive. Does the game check for file YY.LFL that is in disk 1 in the 3.5" version, but in ...

Re: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Explain this mistery to me

And while on the subject, I'm still curious about the nazi killing you in the library on the first failed attempt to enter the catacombs versus killing you after a few failed attempts. I don't know about the EGA version, but the 16 color Mac version and the 256 color PC version both behave the same...

Re: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Explain this mistery to me

First, I thought it was the piracy protection (and that this copy was not cracked). However, I remember that, in the non-cracked version, when you failed to enter the right code, Indy said you were playing the demo version, and when Donovan asked Indy to translate the slate, Indy messed up. Donovan...
