Latest version of ScummVM ported to AGA

[Amicol]

No probs, great video

The only problem with PAL is that the music runs way too slow. This is because the game was designed for 60FPS and not 50FPS.

I like the games sounding 'right'.

I've sent you a file to sort out your Fate of Atlantis speech problem

[Retrofan]

Yeah, it doesn't work but ty, as I told you it needs and uncompressed sou instead of sog, but it works with speech with Munt on WinUAE and doesn't have speech on the real thing/real Roland.

Curious at least . (No, I won't tell Toni to fix that, )

You are a lucky 060's man

If so, can you tell me how you did it?

Cheers!

Hiya,

SCI games should work OK with ScummVM but I only had very limited time for testing so who knows.

Update:

I tired Leisure Suit Larry 2 & 3 and also got a black screen, increasing the STACK didn't help.

I suspect it's (yet another!) compiler related issue, sorry but I just don't have the time to fix it

[Retrofan]

Nova I trust WinUAE (like the Bible) . If it works there (030) with speech emulating the Roland, what can I try/what can be the difference with the real thing?

Maybe changing the stack ¿? Maybe something with the midi emulation?

Also. What happens with the introductory "ScummVM AGA Loading" image?

'Come on, that must be simple, you could just fix that . You are on time (well, really you are 'on fire'), you've just done it, if you let time pass it maybe ... never will be fixed. Do you want to let it forever without it?

No worries, it's still amazing as it is!
I'm just a fan of the LSL series, so already had them on my PC.
I'll just run them from there and hope someone picks up the mantle and fixes it (fingers crossed)

Update:
After testing many games, it looks like it's a problem with the SCI0 engine (King's Quest IV, Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love(original), Police Quest II, 1988 Christmas Card, Space Quest III, Hoyle's Official Book of Games: Volume 1 & 2, Quest for Glory, Leisure Suit Larry 3, The Colonel's Bequest, Codename: Iceman, Conquests of Camelot, Mixed-Up Mother Goose). SCI1, SCI1.1 & SCI2 all work fine (although SCI2 is slow, probably down to hardware limitations).

Does the ScummVM port work on ECS and/or RTG Amigas?

[NovaCoder]

Yep

[SKOLMAN_MWS]

There is also support for chunky 8-bit IndivisionECS ?

I think I've found the problem, fixed version in the Zone (v1.5.0.007)

[Amicol]

IT works!!

Thanks for your hard work, much appreciated!

[pintcat]

What happened to the 'MONITOR_TYPE' tool type? Did it change to something else or is setting a certain screen mode not supported anymore? I always preferred NTSC, because it fits better on my screen.

[NovaCoder]

Did I get rid of it?

Oh yes I remember why, it's because the overlay screen is 320x240 in the 040/060 builds and I was too lazy to keep NTSC for the 030 build (which uses 320x200 I think).

sorry about that

Hi.
I try playing indiana jones and the last crusade FM.VERSION on scumm 060 (blizzard 1260 80Mhz). And the game isn,t playable when the music is on (on frequency 8k the same problem). Music run's very slow. Without music is ok.
Please help :-)

[Ponior]

I have a problem. Scumm aga 030 v 1.3.1 works fine. But scumm aga 1.5 030 display "program faild (error 80000004) wait for disk activity" when i try to add game.
I use blizzard 1230 50mhz 64mb ram.

[emufan]

first try running without startup-sequence. look into your wbstartup folder, maybe you can disable some tools - create a wbstartup-off folder and copy items from
wbstartup to wbstartup-off - later you can copy them back.
snoopdos can also be usefull. start it before you start scumm, after the crash you can still look to it's window. maybe you find something suspicious.

well, at least an answer after your second call

Did you install v1.5 in a new folder or try to reuse your existing v1.3 folder?

You should use a brand new folder for v1.5 and extract everything from the lha into it.

You can only run ScummVM AGA from WB, running it from a console won't work (so you'll need a startup sequence).

Make sure your AHI (v4.18) is set up correctly.
