But do you think his site provided those stuff even when he was the copyright holder? He probably put those stuff in the site only after he quit.

Al Lowe, the creator of LSL series, Freddy Pharkas, & Torin's Passage; has also kind enough to host...even a free CD talkie version of Freddy Pharkas ready for download: www.allowe.com Wait, what? I've looked everywhere there and found no such thing. Do you really think it's likely he not only ...

The only two games I can think of that have the copy protection removed officially are the CD versions of Space Quest IV and... This one has multiple copy protections.

Now that SCI/Sierra games are supported, how did you deal with their (usually in-game) copy protections?

They're not currently listed in README.txt's "3.1) Copy Protection" section.

The latest release is finally just that.

Sadly the official release came out without updating http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles (which does include AGI).

I guess at the time being I'll just leave all files as was suggested here.

Sorry, I just assumed that tar.bz2 means it's not for Windows...

Wow, it actually works! And even (at least partially) for SC1.0+ games!

Now how can I strip the binary and get rid of the 130 Mb EXE?

But that's for Linux. What if I have Windows?

I guess I interpreted "paying all legal fees" literally and not as covering up ScummVM's expenses on the trial.

Admission or not aside, why did some of the money they paid went directly to ScummVM? Is there a commercial license for ScummVM that costs money? I thought ScummVM is free even commercially.

In other words, didn't ScummVM sue them just so they'll present a GPL license in the games' folders?

Wow, ctrl-m made such a huge difference! Too bad I didn't know it before.

The main place in which I couldn't switch characters was the inn (one of the first levels), that luckily had exit signs.

It's really hard to scroll left and right. It often doesn't react. Sometimes it even gets stuck on a certain view and I must save, restart the game and load. A more minor bug is that sometimes I can't switch characters. When I click on the "other" character, the first character goes to it ...

Since changing the volume from ScummVM's GUI does make a difference in this game, how come it's not possible to change it using the in-game shortcuts? It's really loud by default and it's much better to change the volume live according to your hearing.

Well, it's all water under the bridge now.

The easier beyond belief solution is now detailed in the Wikipedia talk page for this game.

Wow, I didn't know it's such a heated debate. I was really just curious, that's all. As for Videolan, I did wonder whether your official reasons were identical to theirs.
