Here is something you can try; - Make use no program is making sound and then kill pulseaudio with "killall pulseaudio" in the console and then start ScummVM. (To get the audio back to normal, do a ctrl-alt-backspace to reset Gnome (or reboot, or start pulseaudio again in a console)) or Re...

-Does this happen with any other programs that make sound? -Are you running Gnome or KDE? -If you open a console and type "ps -A" do you see something called "pulseaudio" anywhere? -Where did you get your ScummVM? From the Fedora package manager or from somewhere else (like this ...

Well he does know/has found out according to his second post.
For some reason he assumed ScummVM can open bin/cue images and didn't look at the documentation.

Hey, people assume the weirdest stuff depending on their previous experiences. It makes life fun, or horrible, depending on the situation :)

Re: Which games would you like to be supported on the future?

Wow, great post, really useful. Yes, we don't bother with such mundane and awfully easy tasks like adding a whole decoder for QuickTime, after all it's something dead easy to do, and we got the manpower to do it, we just don't bother. Maybe you could write a decoder for us quickly, since it's such ...

Hmm, yes.... but.... 876600 dollars worth of quarters would; - Take about (((876600 * 4) / 60) / 60) / 24 ~= 40 days to put in the machine if Bernard would do one coin per second nonstop. - Weigh about ((5.67000 * 876 600 * 4) / 1 000) /1000 ~= 20 Megagrams if one quarter is indeed 5.670 grams like ...

Re: Which games would you like to be supported on the future?

Now you got me curious. I dug up my Myst cd. I have the original, not the Masterpiece edition. The movies are all separate files and all called *.MOV as they should. VLC has no trouble with them and neither does Mplayer. This is what Mplayer has to say about the codecs: =============================...

Re: Which games would you like to be supported on the future?

Oooh, adding Myst1 support may be an ugly business as the game uses an external proprietary program (Quicktime) for the movies.
The user may have to unpack, convert and repack game files to make this fly.

It seems you can install Debian Linux on your 1G without harming your Android.
Keep an eye on that. When Debian@1G gets userfriendly you could just use that and install the Linux version of ScummVM to run on it.

What is the name of this game?

I remember playing an adventure game a long time ago that was quite hilarious. Now that I discovered the ScummVM project, I got the urge to track it down again, but I don't remember the name. The details I am 100% sure of are the following; You (the main character) are a court jester. There was a pu...

I would like to thank everyone who worked or is working on ScummVM aswell. I just registered here to say that. Its important to keep the heritage alive! Now if only ScummVM offered a 4x zoom it would be perfect! Fullscreen may not work for various reasons and the 3x zoom doesn't cut it if you go bey...
