Both Blue's Birthday Adventure Discs Are Being Detected Under the Same Name

I ordered Blue's Birthday Adventure from eBay, and both Disc 1 and Disc 2 are being detected as Blue's Birthday Adventure (Red/English). Is there a way to make a distinction between the two, besides starting both entries to find out which is which?

ScummVM Can't Run Max and the Secret Formula Because CD-ROM Can't Be Found

I ordered Max and the Secret Formula and Max and Marie Go Shopping from eBay. ScummVM detects them as Director 4 games. When I try to run them, it says the CD-ROM cannot be found. I have the CD in the Blu-ray drive of my laptop, and my laptop is able to read it and recognize it. Any suggestions?

Re: ScummVM Detected Demos On Fisher-Price Great Adventures Pirate Ship CD as Unknown Game Variants

Sure. So when I add a game that ScummVM detects as an unknown variant, it gives me a bug report, and there are a few options on the bottom. There's a report game button, a copy to clipboard button, a cancel button, and an add anyway button. When I click the report game button, it takes me to a webpa...

Re: ScummVM Detected Demos On Fisher-Price Great Adventures Pirate Ship CD as Unknown Game Variants

I understand that games will not work fully with Director 5. I read and reread the announcement from December 14. I also read the directions for the Issue Tracker, and I’m aware that it’s only for games that are currently supported. The report game button in ScummVM takes me to a forbidden page, so ...

Re: Fisher-Price Great Adventures Pirate Ship Stops Working After Game Intro

It would be nice if I could just skip the sign in part, and use the ScummVM save states instead. Another option would be that ScummVM autofills the sign in sheet with default user names, or there could be a prompt from ScummVM that asks the player to type in a name, word, or phrase. Then ScummVM wou...

ScummVM Can't Detect Candyland Adventure, Veggie Valley, Play-Doh Creations, and Playskool Puzzles

I ordered Candyland Adventure from eBay. The CD insert says it's copyright year 1996. ScummVM can't detect it. I also ordered a CD called Fun Pack 3 Games in One! that includes Mr. Potato Head Saves Veggie Valley, Play-Doh Creations, and Playskool Puzzles. The CD insert says it's copyright year 1997...

Re: ScummVM Can’t Detect Madeline and the Magnificent Puppet Show

I've tried the two demos from the ScummVM site with the 2.8.0pre build (same as yours). The demos are non-interactive. The first one is detected and runs ok. The second one has some issues if it's interrupted by a mouse click, and at some point throws an error for missing a video file. The second d...

Re: ScummVM Can’t Detect Madeline and the Magnificent Puppet Show

I found a Wikipedia article that talks about the development of the Madeline games. It says that Madeline and the Magnificent Puppet Show runs on an existing engine, but they don’t specify it. They reference a specific book called Interactive Publishers Handbook by Paul Palumbo and John Kalb that wa...

ScummVM Can’t Detect Madeline and the Magnificent Puppet Show

I have ScummVM 2.8.0pre (Dec 16 2023 11:15:53) installed, and I’m trying to play Madeline and the Magnificent Puppet Show. Wikipedia says it came out in 1995. I got a brand new copy from eBay, and it’s from Encore Software, copyright 2004. I put the CD in the CD drive of my laptop, and ScummVM says ...

Re: Will ScummVM Support the Game Easy Bake Kitchen?

As for playing this older game on a modern computer, I think the best solution for you today would probably be to install it inside a Windows 98SE or Windows XP virtual machine. Look for some online tutorials about this, if necessary :wink: I tried that. I found a Windows 95 virtual machine on GitH...

Re: Will ScummVM Support the Game Easy Bake Kitchen?

I read it, and I understand. I thought I might ask anyway. I really appreciate what ScummVM does, and I'm glad that a lot of kid friendly titles are supported like Darby the Dragon and Blue's Clues. When my niece is older and is used to using a mouse, I'll introduce them to her.

Will ScummVM Support the Game Easy Bake Kitchen?

I ordered an Easy Bake Kitchen Playset from eBay for my 4 year old niece. She loves to play games, especially the ones where she can actually do something like coloring or drawing. I thought it would be perfect for her. The playset straps onto a keyboard, and each piece actually does something. It c...

Re: Your Must-Play Adventure Games in ScummVM?

I love Foxtail. I've been waiting for the next chapter to come out. I'm following the developer on Discord. It's crazy with the situation in Ukraine right now. That's why there aren't any new developments. I've heard of Zniw Adventure, but I haven't played it yet. My must-play adventure games in Scu...
