Re: 2.7.1 WinXP-win32 builds don't work under WinXP SP3

Yes, the Windows 95+ zipfile is compatible with Windows XP as well. Even though we currently don't have an official 2.8.0 for it, we still have the proper toolchain and might be able to build it. So not all hope is lost. You can use the Windows 95+ builds for XP and Vista and the "official"...

Re: 2.7.1 WinXP-win32 builds don't work under WinXP SP3

Please read a few posts above: However, the XP builds are most likely gone, since you'll be able to use the Win9x builds for them as well. Additionally, I'm about to switch to MSYS2 for the Windows release builds which will drop support for 32bit and outdated Windows versions in the future. Since yo...

Re: 2.7.1 WinXP-win32 builds don't work under WinXP SP3

There's a high chance that the Windows 9x builds will return. However, the XP builds are most likely gone, since you'll be able to use the Win9x builds for them as well. Additionally, I'm about to switch to MSYS2 for the Windows release builds which will drop support for 32bit and outdated Windows v...

Re: Escape from MI on Mac

Running it without ScummVM might be difficult, you could try to run it with WINE, but I don't know how well this works on M1 devices. The stable version of ScummVM doesn't include Monkey Island 4 yet because it is not considered to be fully stable. However, you can run it with the latest development...

Re: --no-console not working anymore?

The root cause of this issue was a bug in Windows Terminal itself: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/14416

I just tested with the latest Windows Terminal Preview and this restores the correct behavior.

Re: --no-console not working anymore?

Ah, yes, then MIcrosoft did change how the console is handled in general. This is some sort of recurring theme - the console handling tends to break every few Windows releases. It is not entirely uncommon that this feature breaks, but we'll have to investigate - this issue is always pretty labor int...

Re: --no-console not working anymore?

Do you use the "old" console host or the new Windows Terminal one? For Windows Terminal, indeed it doesn't seem to work for me anymore.

Re: --no-console not working anymore?

I just checked with the upcoming ScummVM 2.7.0.

When I use the --no-console option, the console host window flashes for a brief moment and then closes. However, I am still on the "old" console host because I don't like the new Windows Terminal, so behavior might be different there.
