I thought I'd pass this along to fellow adventure game lovers: The Wadjet Eye Games adventure Shivah is free this "weekend" (until Tuesday, normally $4.99) in celebration of Yom Kippur. I haven't played the game myself yet but I'm posting this now because the time is running out. See the l...

What files do I need to copy from the CDs, or is there any other way of restoring the videos? What about compression, too? I don't have my CDs with me now, but being Smacker video, those would be .SMK files. The videos are already compressed with the lossy Smacker and there's no need to process the...

Right, right. SPYMini.HE0 = e62056ba675ad65d8854ab3c5ad4b3c0, 14689 B SPYMini.(a) = c7943ca2be7717dad2eb2e6a9e590fb0, 5873646 B SPYMini.he2 = 2577b0029ecfcb9e764e20a9b2a4be6a, 4374772 B SPYMini.he4 = c23f18777b5ad558826493f69749c4c6, 1883367 B And when I started to do this, I noticed...

I just scored a couple of Humongous games on a flea market, CDs that originally came from cereal boxes and that sort of thing. The first one I tried was Spy Fox 2 and I thought I'd ask about the datafiles . I'm talking specifically SPYFOX2.he9 which doesn't exist on the disc, hinting it's the demo i...

Check the PowerShell documentation for the syntax of FOR, it appears to be expecting an expression closed in parentheses.

Impulse works similarly to the GOG.com downloader software that you can choose to use. Impulse downloads and installs the files for you, then you never have to run it again. [...] I am very pleased with my decision to take the risk and buy it. I personally would recommend buying it while the offer ...

I'd like to enforce the issue of bugs. They exist in both the original games' scripts and interpreters as well as ScummVM but the big difference is that ScummVM is being actively developed which means bugs can be fixed and working around the kinks of the original scripts is possible. PC versions of ...

Very interesting, but I'm a little hesitant because of this Impulse "distribution platform" thing. Feel free to skip the next two paragraphs if you're not in the mood for ranting. I mean I already have Steam installed for a couple of nice games but I'm not that crazy about it. The fact tha...

how do I pick up an item and interact with things other than just being able to look at them? On the original (and ScummVM desktop) platforms you need to use the right mouse button to click on stuff to manipulate it. So, you need to look for where the secondary click is mapped on your device. Also,...

The Director's Cut also exists on the Nintendo Wii and is one of the main reasons I plan on getting one. I am interested in the new content, couldn't care less about hints, have no reason to believe it wasn't fully voiced and think it's almost worth it for the enhanced audio quality of the music alo...

There are separate compatibility charts for releases and dailies.

Finding the Convert menu at least? I tried the option "Re-encode Compressed Audio File(s)" which seemed to "transcode" an MP3 and a WAV file into MP3.. according to (as far as I can tell) my Encoder settings in Options > Settings. If you require the aforementioned IMA ADPCM WAV c...

In the ScummVM main menu, press Shift to change Add Game to Mass Add. I haven't really used this function myself but it should help you out.

On a completely off-topic note, inspired by that megaupload link, here's a mini rant. This is in no way an attack against you or any individual user, but a worried observation of the state of the Internet (i.e. The Tubes): I often find myself infuriated and baffled by these annoying file sharing web...

Heh, this thread makes a nice arc. *Contemplates digging up LoL CD*
