The problem is that i don't know if this is a bug or the game played natively crash in the same way.

Common sense dictates that if the ScummVM debugger appears, the error message should be reported ASAP to the ScummVM bug tracker.

Without any indication of what error you get, there isn't much we can do about it, really. Did you try copying the data files from your CDs again? A surprising number of mysterious crashes have turned out to be damaged and/or truncated data files.

ERROR: File::seek: File is not open!

The gamedata files are correct. I will try to see if is a game bug that happens also installed and runned without using scummvm.

Can you give us a list of the files in your game's folder?

All the files that appears in http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=5384 plus clusters/vielogo.tga, the vielogo.tga is supposed to be unused by scummvm but i have it in both cd's of the game.

I vaguely remember some music-related error like that when changing from the first to the second CD. But I thought/hoped that it was fixed long ago. Which version of ScummVM are you using?

ScummVM version 0.11.1, in this case is not the music, is the description of the panties that Goerge says in a concrete part of the game.

Don't know when i could try to test this with the game played natively, don't have win or msdos, but, i have to ask one thing. I have read in the scumm wiki that there are programmed some workarounds for games that have bugs themselves, if this result in a broken sword bug, and not a scummvm bug, should i report in the scummvm bug database anyway?

The music bug I'm thinking of was fixed back in July, so it's possible that it was in 0.11.1. Does it still happen with 0.12.0?

You may be right, though I do believe that examining the panties is one of the things that always causes a certain piece of music to be played.

The music bug was a bug in ScummVM, not the original.
