Since I updated ScummVM from svn last week, I cannot start my C64 version of Zak anymore. The game (two .d64 image files) is detected fine, but instead of starting the game, ScummVM just hogs the CPU completely and has to be killed through the task manager. The same happens with C64 Maniac Mansion. ...

Bluescreen is a kernel or driver problem. Try updating your graphics drivers. It could also be faulty memory or other hardware failing. Hard to track down unless you provide more info (the bugcheck code for starters, and the list of modules would be helpful too. If you have WinDbg installed, try loa...

Do you, by any chance, have an Intel onboard graphics card? Then you should look for updated drivers. I had a similar problem with my i915 chipset some time ago.

Alternatively you could try running scummvm with the following environment variable set:

by the name of it I would guess it's used for predictive text input (i.e. to play AGI games if you don't have a keyboard).

Someone correct me if I'm wrong though...

- Might & Magic I - V - Eye of the Beholder and Lands of Lore games - Wizardry games - Betrayal at Krondor I was thinking about these "3D first person RPGs" (or how should they be called?) too. I'm currently RE'ing MM4 and MM5 (I think MM3 is similar, however I have yet to find a copy...

IMHO the "correct" way of doing it in windows would be to hide all files/directories with "hidden" and/or "system" attributes. Something like this would work: ... attr = GetFileAttributes(fName); if (attr & (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN | FI...

If you look at the compiler error closely, you will see the problem: your compiler wants to use v2.5, you have only installed v2.4 and v2.6 I don't know how to force the build system to use a different version, though. Your best chance is to install wxWidgets 2.5 + matching development libraries (th...

support++;

especially the x5/x6 'hybrid' scaling would be great for 1600x1200 displays... maybe even with a "scanline" option (rendering the 6th line 50% darker, or 5th and 6th line, whichever looks better)...



Would IMHO look a lot better than the "fix aspect ratio" option

Maybe this helps...

(i.e. use target_md5=... in your ini file)

Actually, as it looks right now, I think this wouldn't help: The problem seems to be that the post title was stored in ISO-8859-1 (setting this encoding manually in Firefox shows the correct accented char) in the database. This shouldn't happen. Normally, phpbb should convert everything to utf-8, ev...

I think the problem is that the forum sends all pages with "charset=utf-8" in the HTTP header, while it sends "charset=iso-8859-1" through http meta tags: Here are the HTTP headers: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2007 15:27:16 GMT Server: Apache...

How about buying an original? They're pretty cheap on eBay.

Just use the nVidia refresh-rate overrides. To enable them, copy this to a .reg file and double-click it (or simply use regedit directly): REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak] "NvCplDisableRefreshRatePage"=dword:00000000 You can t...

I haven't played MM for a long time (something like 10-15 years ago on the C64 was the last time I think...) but I think I remember that not all kids would put the hamster in the microwave and turn it on. IIRC, the girls for example wouldn't do it. I remember using the surfer-dude (sid?) to successf...

I had a similar idea once, how about something like "sections" or "groups", as in this mockup: http://www.regengedanken.de/~mdrueing/images/ScummVM_Section_Mockup.png Would that be feasible? Or also too complex? Of course there'd be the need for more config options ("configu...
