Topic: Give me Music from Amiga and GFX from DOS
Replies: 31

The Mac version of many LucasArts games had, hands down, the best music. The Amiga had quite probably the worse music. The Mac version of MI, MI2, Fate of Atlantis had a far greater range of instruments and sounds than any of the other platforms through the simple fact that the Mac version wasn't li...

No it doesn't, sorry. Here your memory is playing tricks on you, I think -- at least when I hear them both in parallel, then to me they sound vastly different. In fact, even the ScummVm QuickTime and CoreAudio drivers differ, if you pay a bit attention. Oh...don't get me wrong :) I know they are di...

No, not really. Shouldn't the MT32 emulation just be removed from the options then? With such a large default value, no computer in the world will allow a fluid stutterless emulation of the MT32. Not even my Mac Pro 4x3.0 GHz can handle the MT32 emulation. I also find it amusing that the Mac versio...

It seems like a lot of you here are as unnecessarily abusive as I was...except that you guys are dead serious about it. Relax. Hatred is not an answer to anything.

Eugene is taking it lightly? That would be completely wrong. I mean: PS. And thanks again for a nice encouragement to even look in this merge stuff direction. and then you guys turn around on this and slap Sarien right into ScummVM like nothing was ever said. "Oh, it's a piece of cake...we jus...

Wow...seems like at least two people are still taking my post seriously. In a grossly exaggerated caricature, I've expressed the bi-annual FreeSCI posts that seem to crop on these forums. I really love the ScummVM team's work. I guess next time I should use [sarcasm] and [lampoon] tags with a few sm...

I would certainly welcome a ScummVM/FreeSCI merger or faster, more portable development of FreeSCI, but it is becoming increasingly moot and the time and effort of the ScummVM team are probably better spent on other things. I am sure that lots of people (me included) will definitely welcome such me...

(he says the OS and his modern display do the scaling)...it's simply untrue. Maybe it works on his OS and his display, but not on yours? Ok...have I stepped into the Twilight Zone? Why did this thread get created in the first place? And why are people talking about an OpenGL solution? If the OS doe...

Exactly...that's what I wanted to hear...why fingolfin is trying to make me believe otherwise is beyond me. I want to hear those words from fingolfin himself. You make less and less sense.

can you tell me why there's a black border around, say, Monkey Island 1 at 3x Cause 320x200 X3 = 960x600... hence the black borders you get on your 1280x1024 screen mode. That's the way fixed scalers work, no voodoo magic behind it. 'nuff said. Exactly...that's what I wanted to hear...why fingolfin...

fingolfin misunderstood me...he completely took "have to do" out of proportion by pretending like it meant I was forcing them to do something they don't want to. It's not. I am glad to hear that. Though I was not "pretending" anything. You know, when communicating, in the end it...

I'm thinking it'll have to be done eventually (sooner than later) considering resolution independence is right around the corner with Vista, OS X and a few Linux distros. Someone should consider putting some time into this because it'll have to done one day anyway. Why has it to be done one day? I ...
