Re: SSE, AVX and ARM NEON ... and Altivec?

That would be possible, and we did discuss about it. It is even included in the list of instruction sets and detected for SDL backends: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/2f34975164ea1353b6c2e05eec30a7696bf9b364/backends/platform/sdl/sdl.cpp#L186 However it was not a priority and there was no t...

Re: Sanitarium listed under "unknown year" when sorted by year

Thank you. We had all those data in our spreadhsheet, but there was an inconsistency with the gameid that resulted in the data not being associated to the game in ScummVM.

Re: Update cycle?

Currently the game detection data is hardcoded into the ScummVM source code. So updates can only be deployed by making new ScummVM releases. However there are discussions within the team to move the game detection data to separate data files. This will help some ports for which the ScummVM executabl...

Re: Can't start games due to save game path...

The SAVE_FOLDER_PREFIX in the AGS engine, which is equal to "/saves/", is used to indicate that the file should be created in the save folder. So in ScummVM we use the save path defined in the Global Option (in the "Paths" tab). The error you get is from the AGS engine and indica...

Re: Phantasmagoria 2 - flashing screen problem

I suspect the flashing happens when switching between different graphics modes, for example if videos sequences and game screens use a different resolution. So not all FMV games would be impacted, and some non/FMV games (such as Dreamweb) would be impacted as well.

Re: Options for playing on iPad?

There are several ways to transfer the files to the ScummVM folder on the iPad: Plug the iPad to your computer and use the Finder on macOS or iTunes on Windows to transfer the files. Download the files on your iPad (for example from iCloud) and use the Files application to move the files to the Scum...

Re: Issues adding Sanitarium and broken sword 1

For Broken Sword 1 and 2 we made the detection more strict to help with the validation of the game data files. This means that the folder structure of the files on the disk should match how they are organized on the original CDs or distributions from online stores (such as GOG or Steam). So you migh...

Re: Mac OS X Intel x64 latest stable daily build says it's damaged.

I can confirm the issue. It seems that there is an issue with the code signing of the Sparkle bundle included in the ScummVM application (to manage updates). We recently migrated to using Sparkle 2, so this is probably related. But we will need to investigate further why signing the new bundle seems...

Re: Problem unpacking syberia games

You could try with 7-Zip as well. It seems to support expanding both xar and cpio archives, and as far as I know macOS pkg installers are an xar archive in disguise, with the included payload being a gzipped cpio archive.

Re: Steam Launch Options for ScummVM Games

It looks like you want to start a game directly from your steam library using ScummVM? I have no idea if that can be done as I never tried, but you can have a look at the documentation for using ScummVM on the command line and experiment with it: https://docs.scummvm.org/en/v2.8.0/advanced_topics/co...

Re: Game Breaking Bugs in Quest for Glory IV

So I could switch the GOG DOSBox version over ScummVM (how easy is it to do that, by the way?) It should just be a matter of installing ScummVM on your computer (if that is not already done) and then pointing ScummVM to your game files. See https://docs.scummvm.org/en/v2.7.1/use_scummvm/add_play_ga...

Re: Broken Sword: "14 important files are missing"

Try moving the "swordres.rif" file inside the CLUSTERS folder. Versions that were distributed with subfolders usually had that file in the clusters folder. However if the version you have was indeed distributed with a clusters folder and with the swordres.rif file outside that folder, plea...

Re: Audio Issue. WASAPI can't initialize audio client

There was a similar issue fixed in SDL 2.28: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/7478 I am not sure which SDL version is shipped with the Windows release of ScummVM, but since 2.28 is only a few months old, I suspect we are using an older version. So it's possible that using SDL 2.28 will fix t...
