ScummVM missing speech in some games

xxsmbr · 31 October 2023, 19:30

Hi all I have ScummVM working (040 version using pistorm32lite) from aminet. Problem is some of the games do not have the speech working (some do) I wonder if anyone may know why? I know for a fact these versions of the games have speech. Would this be due to the version being old? I do not see a more updated version of ScummVM for 040 in my searches.

Thanks

You need versions of the games with audio formats recognized by the ScummVm 68k. At worst, you have to convert these audio files.

I see yes ok I will get the uncompressed files from the source media. Cheers

Yep your problem with missing speech is probably due to the fact that you are using newer or patched versions of the old games that have compressed files for the speech packs using FLAC which is unsupported by most Amiga ports. Try converting the compressed speech packs to OGG or maybe WAV.

I think pistorm32lite supports the 060 versions and RTG doesn't it?

Maybe try a newer RTG port like this
