Sony Clie SJ30

Post by elite705 »

Hi,

i am trying to play "Monkey Island 1" with the ScummVM and Sony Clie SJ30 (Palm OS 4.1). I installed the "ScummVM-Frontend.prc", copied the "scumm.engine" in the mod directory and the Monkey Island Files in the game directory.
I start the ScummVM and select the "Scumm Games" engine.
A message appears "Importing databases please wait".
After a while another message appears "Fatal exception" and I only can make a soft-reset.
With the skin installed, I have another problem, that the skin is not properly displayed. I only see "Choose" but it is cut on the right side, as if not all of the screen is displayed. And in the middle is a white field, which displays nothing. Besides that i can hardly see anything else except a blue order on the left side.
Could it be that Palm OS 4.1 is too old?
Can I do anything else?

EDIT: I read from the forum that the Version 0.8 was the last know version to run on a Clie. Where can I get this version?

My Memory Information shows the following:
Dynamic 944 - 1017
Storage 12586 - 15359
Stack Size - 5

There (http://capers.free.fr/en/download.php?g=ScVM) you can find a lot of old versions, but no 0.8. Hmmh, does anyone know if there was a 0.8 Version in the first place ??
Good Luck

In the forum there was an entry about a version 0.8.0 known as the last version working with a clie.

This is over a year ago....
Thanks for the link I am trying the 0.7.1

Edit: The 0.7.1 version worked. I could start the game, but in the first screen I get an memory error. As I cannot use UDMH (palm os 4.1) I am out of luck here. Besides that the game is really really slow with the clie sj30. So probable it should be marked as not working in the compatibility list.

Edit2: Now its working. I think it has to do with disabling the sound. I played it only a few minutes, but so far no errors. Is it possible to turn the display?

afaik NO
Sorry, but maybe you can see this as an opportunity to play this wonderful game in a way many (including me) did - with no sound :o)

Though it can't be wrong to try every hard -and softbutton you got - especially if you got a click-wheel try scrolling back and forth (both, with and without pressing it - if it is "clickable")
