The video is stuck at the top third of the screen, and is badly scrambled. I'm sure it's a problem with the VA2000 drivers, because it works fine with a RetinaZ3BLT graphics card, both using P96.

Any ideas?

(Also, in case you weren't aware, your private message box is too full to accept any private messages.)

Hiya,

Yep sure, I always used the same code for my RTG games. I used the CyberGFX API to get a pointer to the video bitmap and then did a blit (memcpy) straight into it with my game's graphics.

http://amiga.sourceforge.net/amidevh...&action=Search

It's considered a 'low level' function so that's probably why the P96 emulation of this function isn't working for VA2000.

void OSystem_AmigaOS3::updateScreen() {
#ifndef NDEBUG
    debug(9, "OSystem_AmigaOS3::updateScreen()");
#endif
        
    static UBYTE* src;
    
    
    if (_mouseCursor.visible) {
        drawMouse();
    }
    
    if (_overlayVisible) {
        UBYTE *base_address;
        APTR video_bitmap_handle = LockBitMapTags(_hardwareOverlayScreen->ViewPort.RasInfo->BitMap,
        									 LBMI_BASEADDRESS, (ULONG)&base_address,
        									 TAG_DONE);										 
        if (video_bitmap_handle) {
            CopyMemQuick((UBYTE*)_overlayscreen8.pixels, base_address, (_videoMode.overlayWidth * _videoMode.overlayHeight));
        	UnLockBitMap (video_bitmap_handle);
        	video_bitmap_handle = NULL;
        }      
    } else {
        if (_currentShakePos != _newShakePos) {
            // Set the 'dirty area' to black.
            memset(_tmpscreen.getBasePtr(0, (_videoMode.screenHeight - _newShakePos)), 0, (_videoMode.screenWidth * _newShakePos)); 
            
            src = (UBYTE*)_screen.getBasePtr(0, _newShakePos);
            byte *dst = (byte*)_tmpscreen.getBasePtr(0, 0);
            
            CopyMemQuick(src, dst, (_videoMode.screenWidth * (_videoMode.screenHeight - _newShakePos)));
            
            // Reset.
	        _currentShakePos = _newShakePos;
	        
	        src = (UBYTE*)_tmpscreen.pixels;
        } else {
            src = (UBYTE*)_screen.pixels;
        }
        

        UBYTE *base_address;
        APTR video_bitmap_handle = LockBitMapTags(_hardwareGameScreen->ViewPort.RasInfo->BitMap,
        									 LBMI_BASEADDRESS, (ULONG)&base_address,
        									 TAG_DONE);
        if (video_bitmap_handle) {
            CopyMemQuick(src, base_address, (_videoMode.screenWidth * _videoMode.screenHeight));
        	UnLockBitMap (video_bitmap_handle);
        	video_bitmap_handle = NULL;
        }            
    }
    


    // Check whether the palette was changed.
	if (_paletteDirtyEnd != 0) {
        updatePalette();
	}	
    
    
    if (_mouseCursor.visible) {
        undrawMouse();
    }	
}

The only other possible problem is that the wrong screen mode is open using VA2000, this is how I open a screen in ScummVM

struct Screen* OSystem_AmigaOS3::createHardwareScreen(uint width, uint height) {

    // Create the hardware screen.
    struct Screen* screen = NULL;
    ULONG modeId = INVALID_ID;
    
	modeId = BestCModeIDTags(
        		CYBRBIDTG_Depth, CGX_VIDEO_DEPTH,
        		CYBRBIDTG_NominalWidth, width,
        		CYBRBIDTG_NominalHeight, height,
        		TAG_DONE);   


	// Verify the mode choosen.
	if (modeId != INVALID_ID) {
    	if (GetCyberIDAttr(CYBRIDATTR_DEPTH, modeId) != CGX_VIDEO_DEPTH) {
    		modeId = INVALID_ID;
    	}
    
    	if (GetCyberIDAttr(CYBRIDATTR_WIDTH, modeId) != width) {
    	   modeId = INVALID_ID;
    	}
    
    	if (GetCyberIDAttr(CYBRIDATTR_HEIGHT, modeId) != height) {
    	   modeId = INVALID_ID;
    	}
	}

	if (modeId == INVALID_ID) {
		warning("Couldn't find a Screen Mode for requested mode");
    }
    

    if (modeId != INVALID_ID) {
    	screen = OpenScreenTags(NULL,
                         SA_Depth, CGX_VIDEO_DEPTH,
                         SA_DisplayID, modeId,
                         SA_Width, width,
    					 SA_Height, height,
						 SA_Type, CUSTOMSCREEN,
                         SA_Quiet, TRUE,
    					 SA_ShowTitle, FALSE,
    					 SA_Draggable, FALSE,
                         SA_Exclusive, TRUE,
    					 SA_AutoScroll, FALSE,
						 TAG_END);
    }

    return screen;
}

Just in time for the holidays, the final release of ScummVM 2.0 is here!

Just tried to install ScummVM_AGA_030 (newest version 1.5.0.004) from Aminet on my Amiga1200 (with ACA1233n) but only get this grey screen when starting it and about 10 second later it changes to that another weird screen and finally shows ”software failure” screen. I'm runninh ClassicWB 3.9

Also tried reinstalled AHI 4.18 (actually correct version was already installed) for sure and set it to 14bit fast stereo -mode but no affect when launching the ScummVM.

And yes I fullfill the requirements: Amiga 1200 with 68030 accelerator (ACA-1233n which has 128MB fastram) and original 3.1 ROM's.

Video what happens [ Show youtube player ]

Any ideas what is wrong and what to do?

Make sure you aren't running the CyberBugFix hack.

Also check for an error.txt file in the game install directory.

Finally, make sure that AHI Prefs opens without any error messages.

Thanks, didn’t notice that error-file earlier and now got it work with the help of that. MT-32 support is also functioning nice

Is there any way to improve digital sound quality? (sounds quite noisy to me). Maybe by any tooltype setting?
edit: somehow I managed to get cleaner sound adjusting some options.

[amigoun]

Does anyone know, if theres a possibility of using keyboard for movement in Lands of Lore in ScummVM? In Windows version it works using numeric keyboard but on Amiga it unfortunately doesnt seem to work

Guess the following is really concerning emulation... you don't have "Port 2" set as "Keyboard Layout A" do you?

Try changing this to be "None" and it should work

[Aladin]

is it possible to make the latest version 2.0?

in aminet:
Scummvm ECS 1.2.1 (2013 Novacoder)
Scummvm AGA 1.5.0 (2015 Novacoder)
Scummvm RTG 1.8.1 (2016 Renaud Schweingruber)

No, not a problem of WinUAE, I use real Amiga.
It must be something of the ScummVM amiga port. If keyboard support for movement is missing, this makes unfortunately LOL practicaly unplayable which is a shame.

Since ScummVM 1.9.0, the code is relaying on SDL2 which would require quite some work to get it running on AOS3. I dont see it happening soon.

If I must be sincere Scummvm 1.8.1 i do not like it and it does not work well, while Scummvm 1.5.0 it's perfect and it works great, see my video

Hi nova,
is there command lines to launch directly a game ???
something like :
scummvmaga simon2
If not ! is it possible to add command lines to launch the games without launching the gui ???

No sorry, it's disabled. I could add it but don't really want to build this project ever again (it's huge!)

Thanks mate, much appreciated

Hello everyone!

I want to play Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade (FM-Towns version) on my A4000D. Unfortunately the game falters every time a movie music sequence is played. The game is then practically unplayable... Does anyone have a hint on how I can fix the problem?

My configuration:

- SCUMM VM AGA 060 (Revision 1.5.0)
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (FM-Towns version)
- Amiga 4000 Desktop, Cyberstorm MKII 060, 128MB Fast RAM, Toccata Sound Card

What I have tried so far:

- installed AHI 4.18 over the AHI version from OS 3.9 BB1-BB4
- patched CopyMem() and CopyQuickMem()
- tried some tooltypes

The sound files are currently in OGG format.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Does it play sounds/music in other games that aren't using OGG compressed audio? I'd advise trying another FM-Towns game or even a demo with all of the original sound data files and see how that works.

I can only guess what your problem is but the mostly likely problem is that your CPU is so busy decoding the OGG sound format that there aren't enough CPU cycles left do play the game.

Also check my ScummVM setup guide

Make sure your sound mixing rate isn't too high

Hi. Thank you for the quick response and the getting-started link! That's what I thought too and I did some experiments meanwhile to validate the assumption. I downloaded "playOGG" from aminet and tried to play the *.ogg files from workbench. The workbench gets very unresponsive as soon as the file begins to play and the sound output is very scattered too... Seems to be just too much CPU load for decoding the *.ogg files.

I then converted the *.ogg files to *.flac and tried again. But even a bit worse... As you suggested, I then downloaded a demo of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (FM-Towns) version from the SCUMMVM game demos website. There are two *.fla files in the demo, but when started, no sound is being played at all.

The other games are all working fine (Full Throttle, Maniac Mansion - Day of Tentacle, The Dig, etc...), but these ones don't have *.ogg files, but the original Monster.sou files.

I will still looking for an original dump of the Indiana Jones (FM-Towns) edition, but not yet found. The original games on e-Bay are around 300-400 USD ;-/

But no problem, I am now playing the VGA/PC version on the SCUMMVM AGA 060 which is running perfectly, since in this version the audio files are the same as in the EGA/Amiga versions (MIDI based?). I am basically playing it for the nice graphics, not the enhanced sound ;-)

By the way... Many, many thanks for your great work! The SCUMMVM AGA port is an amazing piece of software!

I have this (image made from a friend's original); along with many other FM-Towns / Marty games, see this post.

...guess I could upload it somewhere for you.

That would be awesome Would you mind to check what file format they used on the original CD ?
