The "eye" video is played at the beginning (even if you're using ScummVM), but I thought we were talking about the vielogo.tga file, which is just a picture, as far as I know.

Hi,

Just installed ScummVM and was wondering how to set it up with Broken Sword 1 and 2?

Alternatively, does anyone know if I can add a line to the existing config file in my BS folders so that I can skip dialog?

If I start ScummVM and load BS that way, I can skip it by pressing ESC. With the old version my games are configured with, I can't.

I have a Mastertronic version that comes with scummvm set up so that it just opens the game without showing the load game screen.

I'd like to set up BS 1 & 2 so that the shortcut automatically runs the game with the latest version of ScummVM.

The shortcut currently reads
"C:\Program Files\Broken Sword\scummvm.exe" -cscummvm.ini sword1
where the scummvm.exe referred to is the old version.

What I did was try creating a shortcut
"C:\Program Files\ScummVM\scummvm.exe" -cscummvm.ini sword1

This comes up with an error about 8 missing files.

I also tried replacing the old exe with the new ScummVM exe. This starts the game without the ability to speed up play with the ESC key...

Anyone help?

Skip dialog? Can't you do that simply by clicking the mouse?

It should still be moved to the wiki. I am willing to take on this job if no other volunteers stand up.
