Scummvm now refuses to run the dos floppy version of Gold Rush with message that required files are missing. Probably a pirated version. Though Macintosh version runs fine The version I bought from The Software Farm years ago seems to work. Based on what was written earlier, I guess that's the same...

Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Director/Games lists Frankenstein as a Director 4.0b1 game. I don't know how close that is to being supported, though. Some other Director 4 games supposedly work well, but I imagine it depends a lot on exactly which p...

Still I keep hoping a dev can shed some light on whether this would be possible with acceptable effort. I, of course, don't expect anyone to put it on the top of his list, but maybe someone could point me to the place(s) where the scaled sprite is written into the image buffer. Then maybe someone c...

i ripped the zak audio files to .aac, libfaad2 built in, but they don't play, instead i get a requester telling me to rip the audio tracks...do i miss something? From what I can see, the expected file extensions for the ripped CD audio files are: .ogg .fla or .flac .mp3 .m4a .wav I'm not sure exact...

Yes, but file XX.LFL is in disk 3 for the 3.5" version, and in disk 6 for the 5.25" version. How does the game know whether to request disk 3 or disk 6? Let's say that disk 1 is currently in the drive. Does the game check for file YY.LFL that is in disk 1 in the 3.5" version, but in ...

And while on the subject, I'm still curious about the nazi killing you in the library on the first failed attempt to enter the catacombs versus killing you after a few failed attempts. I don't know about the EGA version, but the 16 color Mac version and the 256 color PC version both behave the same...

First, I thought it was the piracy protection (and that this copy was not cracked). However, I remember that, in the non-cracked version, when you failed to enter the right code, Indy said you were playing the demo version, and when Donovan asked Indy to translate the slate, Indy messed up. Donovan...

If it's still not detected properly or you encounter any other bugs, please use the ScummVM bug tracker to report them. Quick instructions on how to report an issue are here Unless I'm mistaken, there are problems actually. See https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/14875 The game should be unambiguously ...

For the Inherit the Earth stuff, at least earlier versions didn't needed it or at least the error message never showed up. I played it years ago with my files like that and the audio files coming from James Woodcock. So not sure if its really needed to have the warning at all. Have to check my CD a...

how can i get the local game menu invoked by F5 the old way instead of CTRL-F5 in ver 2.8? i also unmarked the "use native system file browser" in the GUI tab in the global options. If you're talking about the LucasArts games, and I understand the question correctly, you may have to unche...

"Read Error in /Volumes/Backyard Baseball 2001" explains the problems. Your CD is not readable. Try to clean the surface and do not run from the CD, but copy over the files. Maybe, maybe not. At least one of the followup errors is "Is a directory", which seems like a strange rea...

But as you yourself said earlier, the most recent commit was 11 years ago.

is it technically possible now in 2024 with the new developments and maybe with AI (ChatGPT) devs support to make this game engine supported by ScummVM ? One of those AI chatbots recently told me that Joe Biden used to be Donald Trump's vice president. Another time, it assured me that an out-of-pri...

Believe it or not, we implemented a lot of native GUI dialogs for SCUMM games, bringing them closer to the original experience. We also rewrote the sound code for the SCUMM Humongous Entertainment games, making them flawless. Unfortunately for those (most likely very few) who are planning on playin...

Is it possible to obtain wav records of each soundtrack separated by instruments, and obtain samples of instruments? If you're comfortable recompiling ScummVM, you might be able to separate the instruments by modifying engines/gob/sound/adlib.cpp, e.g. by adding "if (voice != 0) return;" ...
