I've encountered the following problem on both my Windows 7 (32bit) machine and my Windows 10 computer:
When I try to run Return to Zork via command line, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then a window pops up with this message:
Code: Select all
Assertion failed!
Program: e:\emulators\scummvm\scummvm.exe
File: engines/made/made.cpp, Line 77
Expression: _gameid !=-1
Abort / Retry / Ignore
When using the current 1.9.0 version, it does so without comment, when using the daily build, I get this additional message in a DOS window:
Code: Select all
Failed to query the CD TOC: 21
The Return to Zork data files are in f:\roms\scummvm\rtz
This is the command line I use:
Code: Select all
e:\emulators\scummvm\scummvm --path=f:\roms\scummvm\rtz -f rtz
Code: Select all
e:\emulators\scummvm\scummvm --path=f:\roms\scummvm\lucas\fulltrtl -n -f ft
I've tried both my original CD version of Return to Zork as well as several other sources, including the floppy version. All of these work just fine when running them from inside the ScummVM GUI, so I obviously have all the correct data files, but all versions of the game get the same error when running them from the command line.
Am I missing an extra command line argument somewhere, or is the problem with line 77 in the above mentioned made.ccp? I'm not a programmer, so I'm afraid I couldn't make head nor tails out of the actual code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
