Re: Alone, Under Strange Night

Thank you. I have checked those, and while there is lots of great content there, for wintermute in general there are lots missing. Unfortunately, most of these games were self hosted on developer websites around 2000-2015. And a majority of these sites no longer exist. I've been going through the ga...

Alone, Under Strange Night

Howdy folks. I was looking for some of the old Wintermute freeware games that ScummVM now supports. Along the way I got into contact with the author of "Alone, Under Strange Night" due to his old download link being long dead and it not being cached by the wayback machine. Unfortunately, h...

Re: APE Odyssey 2001.... what is this??

Have you actually messed with it? Calling it an "interactive" is a stretch. You can't do anything with any of the little running loops. The only thing "interactive" about it is the part where you navigate through the folders and decide which filed to click on next. There isn't ev...

APE Odyssey 2001.... what is this??

So, it took some time but I managed to track down this disk. I am always intrigued by things that show up in the compatibility list that I've never heard of before. However, in this case it is just a disk with really short, and somewhat poor quality, director loops? This user here has an image of wh...

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

I am on Windows 10. And I'm not getting this issue with other games. My save folder is full off other files from games I've been playing recently. Thank you for the information though. It confirms what I thought was going on. At one point I even removed the save folder, and ScummVM recreated it at l...

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

I downloaded the Ash Pines demo and purchased Red Bow from Stranga. When I try to play the games in ScummVM, it states ERROR: Invalid attempt to create file - /saves/ashpines-demo.999 or ERROR: Invalid attempt to create file - /saves/redbow.999 I am using ScummVM 2.8.0 (official release), however I ...

Re: Command line resolution

thank you. I will try forcing opengl using the --gfx-mode setting. However, if it is the default, then the window res should have worked when I wasn't explicitly defining anything.

Command line resolution

I am trying to set the window resolution at the command line, however it seems to always default to the last window height and width defined in the scummvm.ini file. Here is the base command launch line I am using: scummvm.exe --no-console -F --stretch-mode=pixel-perfect --renderer=opengl --window-s...

Bargon Attack (Intro text)

I am unable to get Bargon Attack to show text during the intro at any point. The CD version has speech to explain what is going on, however the floppy version should have text

Tandy Color Computer AGI games

It's taken a lot of work to extract the files from the disks, however I have gotten several Tandy copies of the games extracted and ScummVM recognizes them. That said, I never get sound if I try to launch them. I had noticed that with my original AGI copy, it would detect my KQ1 copy as both CoCo3 o...

Mixed-Up Mother Goose (mothergoose256-cd)

No wonder mother goose is mixed up... there were so many versions of this game released that she lost track. Currently I am messing with the DOS CD release from 1991. ScummVM recognizes it as mothergoose256-cd. The floppy version of this release (mothergoose256) starts up just fine for me. However t...

Re: You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike

A second question. I was looking at some of the other engines, and came across the Archetype games. Two of the games are listed at the authors github. https://github.com/gitosaurus/archetype/tree/master/archetype/games One is "Guess the Animal" and the other is "Bare bones adventure&...
