Into digital form. Bought a 300 GB external drive. :D . Ok i have a problem with dos/scummvm games. In those cases i like to have both the native game and scummvm version available, but duplicating files is verbotten to me. So i ended up using the mount command of dosbox when i can. If you mount a d...

I'm intrigued now. I don't recall the game being even a real 3d engine (not sure). It had (i think) no Z axis movement, like lands of lore.

Oh, btw i had to set sound to "emulated" instead of "hardware" in winecfg, otherwise it eventually hanged, This is a recurring problem in various games with wine in my hardware.

I know for sure that KQ5 & 6 CD version suffer from this. QFG4 does not. There are probably more early sierra cd games like this.

I hadn't tried it before but it crashes scummvm :lol: "paulo@AIVAS:~$ scummvm The game in '/home/paulo/Desktop/Betrayal in Antara' seems to be unknown. Please, report the following data to the ScummVM team along with name of the game you tried to add and its version/language/etc.: "ressci.001", "ec1...

Well i did manage to extract the files and make a RESOURCE.WIN that goes ingame but i doubt it will work when the game tries to change the disk, unlike broken sword. BS had two different lines in the config file, equivalent to two different disc. Antara depends on a ";" separator (that i used to put...

I have a subtitle patch for GK2. http://www.sierrahelp.com/Patches-Updates/Patches-Updates-Games/GK2SubtitlePatch.html Would love to use that one with GK2 and ScummVM some day in the future :) With subtitles and no disc-swapping, the game will be as good as it can be! You can have that today. I did...

Oh. Wow ahahah.

That's interesting. I've had to use a virtual machine just to copy the files too. Also isobuster had the same problem inside windows. Only explorer could read it and only from the cd. Damnnnnn.

Oh wow. My disc 3 of BiA can't be mounted in linux. "Error mounting: mount: block device /dev/sr1 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try...

Even the Antara executable may have some sort SCI script engine there. A simple hex edit and search for SCI finds a lot. "required after SCI+extender loaded (1M default)" "bytes excluded from SCI usage" "RESSCI" The resource.win file also follows the typical sierra pattern. Doubt it is a coincidence...

If only the "adventure" games used sci what is the realms demo in that cd doing with such files as "sciw.exe" or "version".

Allow me a massive rolleyes.

I put the cd in the drive. If it isn't SCI the data folder structure seems suspiciously like it. Especially the resources files and the suspiciously named ressci.001 file ./000.000 ./3dres.000 ./antara.gid ./antara.hlp ./antara.ico ./antarar.exe ./autoplay.bmp ./autoplay.exe ./autorun.inf ./billbrd ...

A pity. Damn game is hellish on the cds. Mine still work, thought i'm worried about them. I think i'm going start up olly to see if i can make a no-cd.

Yeah but who trusts wiki? Joe user sees a similar output, and presto, updated version of the engine. I'm thinking that dynamix was folded into sierra, and that at that times all sierra games were a variant of SCI.
