Searching for Sherlock Holmes - Consulting Detective CDTV

viddi · 07 February 2007, 14:33

Hey!

I wasn´t able to find this gem on Ebay or as an image

I know, it might be big.
But maybe someone has it and is able to upload it somewhere.

WOULD BE SOOOO COOL!

Thanks guys.

Hmmm, I have this for FM-Towns but not for CDTV unfortunately

viddi · 07 February 2007, 14:43

Oh...

I´ll wait then...

Is it a nice game?

Dizzy · 07 February 2007, 14:43

I have both 2 for mega CD

viddi · 07 February 2007, 14:44

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Is it a nice game....

No, no it is not.

thor · 07 February 2007, 15:46

I have it for CDTV, but unfortunately I can't read some tracks from it (CRC errors)

It looks exactly like that: http://www.thelegacy.de/Museum/gameG...yID=1997&pos=1

@thor:

This is bad...no chance to iso it?

@Belgarath:

Oh...but I want to give it a try!

well then grab the Sega Mega Cd version, and play it through an megadrive/genesis emu

I dont think the CDTV version would be better.
I think the game is ok fun but dont expect too much

@viddi

I tried but no success. I have no real CDTV or A570 to try if it works there. My PC drive reports a small data track with the executable, then tracks 2-4 with about 100 MB each and then tracks 5+6 with CDDA (small jingles). I'm not at home currently, but that's what I remember. Tracks 1,5,6 could be read without problems, tracks 2-4 not. But I find it strange that there are those tracks 2-4, because I suspect they contain the videos (the data track is too small for that) and wouldn't it be easier to put them to the data track? I try to read them with a CD32 when I'm home (Which program is best for that?)

@Boo Boo

or try to get the PC DOS version, all three parts are available for this. There should be even a DVD version with better video quality of the first one, but I haven't seen it.

@thor:

Thank you very much

@Dizzy:

No, it has to be a C= machine

But I do like the Megadrive...

musashi5150 · 08 February 2007, 19:07

TheBoss might have this... he seems to have everything else

viddi · 08 February 2007, 19:23

Yes!

I´ll PM him. Thx

musashi5150 · 08 February 2007, 20:04

If you have any luck be sure to let us know, maybe we could do a or something.

viddi · 08 February 2007, 20:21

I will.

Hi,

I have this game too and same problems to create an iso-file. I tried it out on my CD32 but without-success.
The intro works fine, but the backgrounds, icons and so on have false colours. Furthermore the FMV-sequences doesn`t work. I`m not sure if my cd is 100% o.k., but if somebody could help me with tips and hints to rip the problem-tracks I would be happy. I`m also interested to know if this cd works on another cd32. Only the sound works perfect and is really nice. Thanks.

Bye

nujack

I remember something with wrong colors, but it was ages ago when I tried to run it on my CD32. Next week I will check it again and report if it's the same with my one. I guess tracks 2-4 contain the FMV sequences for each case you have to solve.
