Actually, VGA did line doubling in lores modes. Thus using the 2x mode and no aspect ratio correction (640x400 progressive) on a CRT should look exactly the way it did with VGA.
If the TV crops the borders, 720x480 should work.

It's called "Hundeschlafblume" in the German version. Boris Schneider made the game quite a bit easier for us, I guess.

the latest version of Scumm (CMI) I think you're missing a few years of the SCUMM engine :wink: This page ends with CMI, though: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/SCUMM/Versions Does anyone know if the interface itself is determined by a script? Forward thinking - it would be nice porting any Scumm...

I have some ideas for modding other Scumm games too. An easier version of Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade (higher punch power, more hit points on plane section), an easier "fists" path in the Fate of Atlantis (higher punch power again) and restore some missing scenes from Loom in tal...

I noticed they silently changed the talkie goal to $525.000, and we are not far from that.
Would be a pity if they don't reach that.

Here is some feedback from me: Tested in Windows 7 x64. English game version. Some minor issues I noticed so far: If I switch task when in fullscreen, my mouse pointer is invisible. in year 1: This is very minor, but it seems odd that Manny walks over the distant corner instead of straight through t...

Still needs some more for voice acting at 625,000%, though.

Great to see that he got Boris Schneider at 425,000$, the inventor of video game translations for the translation, which is almost reached already.

I requested this about 10 years ago, and it was rejected with only one dismissive reply: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=418823

Don't forget the Monkey Island special editions. I wish, they did special editions for more of their old adventures, especially the silent ones (Loom too, since the CD was a cut down version).

The application isn't essential to solve the game. There is another way to make the Bermuda alien your friend.

I'm only aware of the mailbox bug. You can't sent letters in Maniac Mansion on every DOS version which has the code door protection disabled. MM in DOTT is affected too.
Fortunately, ScummVM does not have this bug.

When I was working on that script for my Ultimate Talkie Edition beta, I noticed that it could also hang on the original DOS version, although it is rare on DOS and happens far more frequently in ScummVM. Obviously, this script is not written very well. I rewrote huge sections of the script in order...

All LucasArts adventures, Simon 1+2, Goblins 1-3, Beneath a Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1+2, Larry 5 and 6, and those freeware games you can download here, if you count them in.

No, it wouldn't, since it supports building the Ogg Vorbis version the same way it builds the FLAC version already. If you managed to build one version, you should manage to build the others too.

I hadn't thought much beyond "ooh maybe they'll release the original untouched Star Wars on Blu ray now!" While at it, they should hire Adywan as chief of the remastering division, and do seamless branching Blu-Ray editions with the original theatrical cut (with original mono, original do...
