Hi John,

No problem about the delay, I know what you mean about hectic. :-/ If you get a chance to update the instructions and upload the tarballs, I'd love to give them a try sometime.

Cheers,

Razvan.

If i understand everything correctly, for this i would need a) an actual Roland MT-32 module or b) the ROM-files for the sound emulation, right? Right, either of those would do. The latter (the ROM files) are used with an MT-32 emulator, and you'd need a fast PC for that, but it should work reasona...

BTW, I just tried to compile ScummVM on Linux using the official GPH Linux SDK (from http://fungp.com/dv/ne2_l.asp). It behaves very similarly to the Windows build, meaning, the package builds, some engines work on some games, but it's overall quite flaky. I built everything using dynamic linking ag...

Hi, Thanks for the information! I don't take any of this as disparaging, I'm just not very familiar with the Caanoo, so I'm trying to learn more. :wink: You also seem to want to static link regardless and I can't see the reasoning behind this, it seems to come about because of the broken/non standar...

Before you post anything to the WiKi can you make sure your building what your think your building Wink. Sure, the reason why I want to put stuff on the Wiki is that the Caanoo build is very complex and there is almost no information on it, so I had to figure it out myself. I'd be happy to discuss ...

I figured it out: the problem is that the official SDL distribution does not support the Caanoo. Instead, I used the unofficial Caanoo port of SDL, and that works.

I'll post detailed instructions about this on the Wiki soon.

Building ScummVM for the Caanoo

I managed to get ScummVM to build for the Caanoo, but when I execute the binary on my Caanoo, the graphics look screwed up. The initial GUI screen looks as though it's spreading the pixels over a larger "virtual" screen that doesn't fit on the Caanoo screen; so when I move the mouse around...

That's pretty weird. It sounds like FluidSynth is not enabled/supported on Windows 7 somehow.

The soundfont will only work if you select FluidSynth as the audio driver. Here are the steps I took to do this: 1). Launch ScummVM 1.2.0 (I'm using Windows XP) 2). Click "Options" 3). Go to the Audio tab, select "FluidSynth" for the "Music driver" 4). Go to the Midi ta...

FluidSynth/soundfonts work very well in ScummVM. You'll need a reasonably fast PC for it (> 1GhZ processor) -- no different from Timidity++ for that matter.

More information about that here and here.

Incorrect stylus handling in the SCI engine

I think there is a bug with the way the stylus is handled on the Caanoo, in SCI games. Specifically: 1. Launch some SCI game, say Space Quest 1 VGA 2. Move the mouse somewhere on the screen with the joystick 3. Click with the stylus somewhere else on the screen You'll notice that the engine register...

Police Quest 1 (SCI) locks up on Caanoo

I am experiencing more or less random lock-ups with the savegames for Police Quest 1 (SCI) on the Caanoo. Some savegames work, some don't, and those that don't require a hard reboot. The same savegame file seems to work fine on the PC. I filed a bug about it here . Anyone else experienced this? Than...

Re: Playing Monkey Island SE on ScummVM!

Can anyone figure out the track list. I do not own the cd version so i can not verify the track list without playing monkey island on ScummVM, then on Monkey Island SE I didn't bother to extract MusicOriginal.xwb, but I did at least list the files, and I seem to remember it looked like the same dec...

I recently got interested in learning more about MIDI and the reason why old "sound" was so good, and put together a quick write-up about it at Musical Archaeology.

I am still amazed at how good the old Roland music sounded, even compared to modern music.

The latest version of ScummVM (1.2.0) has soundfont support built-in (using the FluidSynth driver). It's very easy to use, no need to mess with Timidity and such.

I just tried out a few classics with Shan's soundfont and they sound pretty amazing.
