Re: Nemesis Crashing with "New Game" selectioin

Hello, Did you follow the instructions on the wiki page for this game? https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Zork_Nemesis If I'm not mistaken, the instructions say that, for the case of the 3 CDs, the "ZASSETS" folder from each CD should be copied inside the game's data folder on your H...

Re: How to extract MIDI files for The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo

The admin permission / execution rights elevation should be required only if your ScummVM executable is in a folder with restricted write permissions, since dump-midi needs to write data to a new file in that folder. Folders under Program Files are such locations with restricted write permissions, s...

Re: How to extract MIDI files for The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo

Have you looked into the --dump-midi command line switch?

Code: Select all

--dump-midi

Dumps MIDI events to ‘dump.mid’ while game is running. Overwrites file if it already exists.

Re: Shaders outside of the built-in ones not working?

And oddly enough some work, and some don't (the ones that don't do work when loading up through the packaged ones, but not when choosing "Pick file instead"). Some work both ways such as CRT-Royale. The strange thing is, if I move the entire folder and still keep everything nested togethe...

Re: Shaders outside of the built-in ones not working?

Right. I did read the error messages quickly and didn't spot that it's from attempting to load two different shaders. However the error do indicate that ScummVM could not locate needed files for the shaders, and those files seem to be expected to reside within the respective folders of the shaders. ...

Re: Shaders outside of the built-in ones not working?

From the error message it seems that the crt-lottes shader depends on files from the "crt-royale" folder, so you should extract that folder too and put it on the same path "level" as the "crt-lottes" shader (and *not* inside that folder). Then try again.

Re: scumm - why autosave uses game slot 1?

I play Indy 4 and I get a warning message, that I use save slot 1 because this slot is reserved for autosave. I deleted save slot 1 for autosaving. But if I press load, I see no autosave in slot 1. The slot remains empty (even after 10 minutes of playing). If I uses save slot 1 again, 5 minutes lat...

Re: Shaders outside of the built-in ones not working?

First want to thank the team for the incredible progress over the past few years. All the issues I had with previous versions have all been ironed out, and the inclusion of shaders is the greatest thing! I do have an issue however, and that is to get ScummVM to read shaders outside of the packaged ...

Re: MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE instead of SAF?

would it be possible for ScummVM to request MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE instead of using SAF? I understand that this permission enables apps to use the File API again. Google has a special policy for this permission, but mentions that it is "not restricted to file managers only". I recently s...

Same here. I used to play EFMI from beginning to end, but unlike GRIM FANDANGO & MYST 3 & The Longest Journey, the other Residual VM games, EFMI doesn't work anymore. I'm on a Mac and now it won't work at all, & I've been downloading only the daily builds every so often just to see if E...

Re: Android Quicksave accidentally overwritten

Is there any way to restore the overwritten save game? I don't think there's any way for that, unless you kept a backup copy of your saved games folder some time beforehand. If you have autosaving enabled, maybe you can load the game in the autosave slot which potentially would be close to the poin...
