Re: Fable (1996)

I doubt you will find many people who know this Fable game and there is no real reason to catch up on the game. With the list of beloved games still missing on the support list, I don't see a chance for it getting supported, if you don't do it.

Re: Alien Incident ?

Alien Incident was created by Housemarque, who are now belonging to Sony. Not sure about their old trademarks, but I would assume that at least the code legally belongs now to them. Based on sevs quite detailed answer, they were in contact with them, but likely before they were bought by Sony (it wa...

Re: Interplays StarTrek games: does mission evaluation impact space fight difficulty?

Mhhh, interesting, to be honest I never noticed. But in Judgement Rites fights become anyway trivial, while challenging in 25th Anniversary. But as they definitely have all ratings saved, its quite possible they can do that. This might also explain why my first playthrough the battles were quite har...

Re: Maniac Mansion NES - New uncensor hack

@sev: it is a normal ROM hack , so not working without obtaining the original Release US ROM. I don't think this is any bigger problem as already supported by ScummVM. The patch is also doubling the Size of the ROM from 256 to 512KB. This does not look just like the normal smaller changes, itr seems...

Re: Bazooka Sue!?

The game has a turbulent history behind it. It was announced at ECTS '92 for the Amiga but was then rewritten for PC and SVGA. They even sent a test version to a befriended gaming magazine at the end of '94, and they had tested it. However, there was an insolvency in between, and the game was ultima...

Re: Shaders for videos?

Videos work differently. They would need to be upscaled before you can benefit. Unfortunately upscaling of videos is not yet on a level in which you would benefit much when it comes to mid 90 FMVs. So Videos in higher resolution could at least theoretically benefit, but the engines couldn't handle t...

Re: Simon the Sorcerer - Merge Talkie with Subtitles

I have now opened two tickets to my biggest issues: https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/14494 - the fallback add method not correctly working. When selected English/German language, subtitles still not showing. https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/14495 - this might be more a magos issue, not ScummVM, but op...

Re: Simon the Sorcerer - Merge Talkie with Subtitles

Something definitely broken between the Source Code you extract and how ScummVM is interpreting it. I have ScummVM now running with Debug Level 11: ScummVM Debug line: PRINT_STR 1 0 "This is where I come in I feel."(35201) 673 Source Code line : (0xa2) PRINT_STR 1 0 35201 673 // {He's too ...

Re: Simon the Sorcerer - Merge Talkie with Subtitles

Sorry, i wasnt clear, the issue is within ScummVM, seems like some commands are language hard coded within the interpreter. So it is coming 100% from ScummVM, not from magos. I was already able to write a small python script to replace all text. But I have to be careful, as I replaced the GAMEPC stu...

Re: Simon the Sorcerer - Merge Talkie with Subtitles

Thank you, I will play around. Unfortunately the German version is even more problematic, as it needs Unicode different to the other languages, so I can't yet get a fully working. Will come back to you later. And for gods sake, I hope i finally can destroy the awful sound effect of the blacksmith. T...

Re: Simon the Sorcerer - Merge Talkie with Subtitles

Thank you, I noticed that already after I posted my text. I currently try to understand to understand the files, luckily its quite straight forward. Luckily the source code is relative easy and the text is commented, which would make it relatively easy to bring back, if the code gets activated. Then...

Re: Simon the Sorcerer - Merge Talkie with Subtitles

Yes, I just took a look into the magos extracts. Some of the text links still exist, so maybe you could even add them back. But looking at the extract of my Floppy version with my CD version, the extracted script links are mostly complete different. This would make the whole process very tedious. Th...

Re: Importing older save files

Many Engines massively changed and are not compatible anymore. So basically there is nothing you can do, but replay the game. The Switch happened I think with 1.0. My older WinXP Savegames are all from before 2009, some games still working, others not. As I know, going forward the team was much more...

Re: *UPDATES!* ESRGAN AI Upscaling (HiRes packs now possible!)

NVidia made their RTX Technology now also available for Videos. Don't expect yet wonders as you can see with DLSS2, but DLSS1 was also back then just a simple super sampling, before it started to really shine with DLSS2. But as you might wonder, I made a [url= first comparison video for you. The big...

Re: Simon the Sorcerer - Merge Talkie with Subtitles

As I am aware, there are some international versions out there that have subtitles and Audio at the same time. For example the spanish and hebrew version. Of course, the text is in spanish, but this wouldnt be so hard to replace, if someone really want to make it working. But this is all theory, as ...
