Re: Alien Incident ?

I am only guessing here, but it is possible that the rights are owned by more than one company. When "Alien Incident" was released, there was also a different version of it called "Muukalaisten yö", an extremely rare Finnish-language version of the game. They were released by dif...

Re: [solved] Syberia (macOS) only detects in English?

Edit: With new daily build the language option now works in ScummVM/Syberia 1. Yes, so it seems. I played the first room in all available languages, and they all work, except for Russian language option. In Russian, they audio is correct, but the fonts on screen aren't cyrillic, so the text is unre...

Re: Syberia (macOS) only detects in English?

The English language GOG version runs fine for me. I tried to use the German GOG version to see what happens. The game is detected, but it is recognised as the English version. You can't run the game though, because right after hitting the Start button a message appears: ERROR: Couldn't find texts/[...

Re: Game Demos required

There is a somewhat hard-to-find demo for The Samaritan Paradox. Most stores that sell the game don't have the demo, but it's available on the publisher's (Screen7) site: http://www.screen7.co.uk/games/download/TheSamaritanParadox_Demo.exe And for those that are interested in studying how games chan...

Re: Thousands of games needing testing

I don't know what would be the best place to report AGS related things at this point (I'm not on Discord), as this thread seems to be inactive, or if anyone is actively collecting the information, but in any case I noticed that two games which I relatively recently completed are marked as "Unte...

I never heard of Obsidian until I read the announcement. On eBay they have the Italian version. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254971876921?hash=item3b5d821639:g:JVMAAOSwMeBglscV I tried to find the Japanese version, but I couldn't find any website where one can order a used copy. Try From Japan. http://...

Re: Thousands of games needing testing

I would like to know if I should continuing to use the format Maniac Mansion Mania 1: Geschwisterliebe or if it should be shorten to either MMM 1: Geschwisterliebe or maybe just Maniac Mansion Mania 1 . Someone who has time and interest should also make some consistent naming convention for all tho...

Re: Thousands of games needing testing

I have an unknown variant for King's Quest IV Retold which was recently added with the ID kq4retold . This is the Windows version 1.2 from the AGS homepage: {"KQ4Retold.exe", 0, "da6140c1e246d5f7641464bda80c45d5", 293710098}, I think you mean 1.0.2? I have versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1,...

Re: Thousands of games needing testing

The version from the website contains the file: Larry 2 Point and Click.exe and a folder called files . And that folder contains the Larry 2.exe . Both file's are recognized somewhat correctly now. But using the actual Point and Click.exe doesn't work. No game file's found. I sadly can not test wha...

Re: Thousands of games needing testing

Yes, the bulk of the detection list does come from the agsarchive torrent. To aid in setting up the detection list, I created a "game scanner" within the engine as a special mode. It scans through a given folder and all subdirectories, and builds up a list of any unknown AGS games. It als...

If you download agsarchives torrent, that has MMDeluxe.zip in 2004 games.

Re: Thousands of games needing testing

I managed to have a new short test round. There seems to be something wrong with the latest version I downloaded, windows-x86-64-master-23d52a14. A-Z keys don't work, and keys that do something, mostly do something wrong. Backspace produces question mark, comma produces capital H, and so on. Dot pro...

Re: Thousands of games needing testing

OK, I found a little time for a new round of testing. La Croix Pan The earlier font issue is no longer there, but fonts are still wrong. For instance, v is not symmetrical and forward slash is so flat that it's more like a hyphen. The Rail The earlier crashing seems to be at least partially fixed, a...

Re: Thousands of games needing testing

OK, I found some time for a very short and small scale test. Overall, it looks very promising. This makes ScummVM at least 1000 times better than it already is! :D Anyway, I tested some random games that I had readily available from relatively recent playthroughs, and here are some obsevations. Ever...

Re: Thousands of games needing testing

We're finally ready to unleash the motherlode onto the public for testing. The AGS engine has had many freeware games released over the years, as well as quite a few commercial games as well. Keep in mind that, like the stand-alone AGS interpreter the engine is derived from, only AGS games from 2.5...
