It was quite a while since we heard of you C man! Thanks for the heads up!

[chrilith]

Yes sure, i'm back ;)

I'll post a new Rick Dangerous version tomorrow

[jledesma]

Great!!

Did you also said something about a development for Out of This World? Or did I get my wires crossed?

[chrilith]

OOTW has been discontinued upon request from the original author Eric Chahi sorry :(

[jledesma]

Too bad :( I don't understand why so many authors let their great works die in oblivion

[brianbasko]

Hi, I've tried the new snapshot and test versions of ScummVM on my Zire 71 and it doesn't run. When I try to open de app. the handled shows this error mesagge:

MemoryMgr.c Line xxxx(I don't remember the numbers)

Then I have to reset my device. Why? Oh! Man! You're doing a fabulous work with this program, please help.


Thanks in advance

[chrilith]

did you try to uninstall everything and reinstall ?

[brianbasko]

uninstalled and reinstalled everything again, and still not working. Maybe there is something wrong with my handled I'll check it out.

Thanks again

[brianbasko]

OK. It's working again. Strange but I uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times and now works.
It looks that some games as Monkey Island 1&2 or Indy 3 run a bit smoother than before.

Keep working and thanks for your help and quick answer

where did you find these games?

[jledesma]

you're supposed to own them... or buy them

[[maven]]

The new snapshot works fine on my UX-50 (and no deinstallation necessary), but the palette seems to be set a few frames too late after a scene change (in both direct and wide modes).

Keep up the great work!

[Unregisted011]

If scummvm works on a zire 71, will it work on a T|T1???
I hope so..
Btw, when will you release the nex rick dangerous???

works great, I like the wide modus.

btw. is standard palm os sound api supported or not ?

[chrilith]

Yes but it's a bit choppy depending on the game, you need to enable sound in the Music & Sound panel

[chrilith]

New test version !

This WE i bought a 220V->110V convertor and so i'm now able to fully use my new Zodiac (thanks a lot to Aric !!!)

In this version (Scumm engine only) I added a new ARM optimized function which draw the game actors, the result is a good speed improvemnt and Sam'n'Max is now really playable. More infos in the archive.

Get it now :

This version will reset your config so don't forget to enable ARM.

Thanks again to Aric for this great donation

[tovarish]

you lucky boy you ;), no you deserve it well
now i will thank aric too cos we will get better arm optimised scummvm
how does it work on the zodiac btw
please dont only develop for the zod, remember us poor clie (os5 ;) ) users too

22 June *edit*

wow chrilith scummvm really runs like a charm.
remember my timings for the dott scene which earlier was 56 seconds now takes a cool 12 seconds. imagine faster by almost 500%. great work and keep them coming ;)


tovarish

[darhorn]

wow! this version plays great on my T3... playing 1.5 landscape and it is speedy and the speech plays great... the choppyness is gone from the game for the most part.. playing DOTT right now

now I need to try some others.. samnMax comes to mind :)

[jledesma]

This are great news!! I'm downloading rigth now!!

[tsensei]

does not work with TH55 ....
I cannot see the characters :confused:

[uz50]

great thanx for the info.

[chrilith]

does not work with TH55 ....
I cannot see the characters :confused:

Could you be a bit more specific ?

[tsensei]

I'm playing Monkey Island ... I activated "ARM" so it does work faster ...
But in the game, I can't see the characters ...
The background and dialogs are here but the characters are invisible.
Very strange.

[chrilith]

Well tensei, really don't know, sorry :(

Can someone tell me if the sound works with the lastest version of MCA from CliePet ?

[tovarish]

does mp3 sounds work yet or do i have to try with monsters.sou,
need a big card to try the hue sound files

tovarish

[darhorn]

having some trouble getting flight of the amazon queen working... have the queen.1 and queen.tbl files installed... the qeen compatibility pdb is installed and the game name is queen, but when I try to run it, it just exits scumm.. I know I had this running earlier, but am not sure what I am missing now

[darhorn]

one thing that I was pretty happy about though, is that I have been playing fate of atlantis today. It plays great and fast on the T3 in landscape with mp3s playing in the background..

I expected quite a bit of slowdown, since the last time i tried atlantis, it was just too slow to play..

[tovarish]

yes simon games and queen doesnt work in your "fast" scummvm chrilrith

tovarish

PS any chances of using pocket tunes apis to play mp3 in the background

[darhorn]

tovarish, do you mean having pocket tunes play automatically when starting a game in scummvm? I have been using it to just start PT and before I start a game... that works pretty well...
well at least it isnt just me having trouble getting queen working :)

[Pdaman]

Where i can anyway get these games ?

[tovarish]

darhorn, i meant playing the game cd audio as mp3/ogg files using pocket tunes like the scummvm desktop version does.

pdaman, you can buy these from lucas arts or from ebay

tovarish

[chrilith]

Well, the test version includes only the Scumm engine, Queen and Simon are not yet optimized.

About MP3 the version using pocket tunes API i avaliable and works great with Monkey Island and Zak FM towns, but not yet with Loom (i'll try to fix this today)

Get it now here :
http://capers.free.fr/ScummVM/download/test.zip

You need Pocket Tunes 2.3 or higher to use it.
Put the MP3 files on .../ScummVM/Audio folder and name them like this :

[game]_[xxx].mp3 where [game] is the game name you use in the config (i.e. monkey1, zaktowns, ... and [xxx] the track number (i.e. 001 for track 1)

[tovarish]

super scummvm is improving by leaps and bounds,
i will give it a try soon
tovarish

[th1nm1nt]

dead links...What's up with that. All this hype has peaked curiousity!

[darhorn]

getting all sorts of errors here...
I had to hard reset my palm and had to fully reinstall scummvm... I set up my games, and I could get into them each okay.. so I put my palm down...

now, about an hour later, I went to start up scummvm, and got a fatal error and had to reset... deleted the ini file and the data file, but still resets as soon as I open up the prog

any ideas? this is the test version btw

[chrilith]

well, really don't know... wath did you try to do ?

A new test version is avalaible with Loom fix

[darhorn]

All i was doing was to try and open scumm and it was crashing....

I completely deleted the app, and then reinstalled again... now no problem yet :) so not sure what the issue was

[chrilith]

Well... ok...

Will you try to MP3 feature ?

[tovarish]

has anyone succeeded in making summvm+mp3+pockettunes work with clie nx with MCA2. if so then with which settings. I cant seem to get it to work with loomcd

tovarish

[darhorn]

does the sound work with other games? as I dont have those 3, but as a test I took a mps, renamed it to tentacle_001.mp3 and put it in the audio folder to check... no music...

[chrilith]

there is no version of DOTT with audio tracks this is why it didn't work
only games with cd audio tracks can work with it

[chrilith]

new test version avalaible
http://capers.free.fr/ScummVM/download/test.zip

This version has lastest CVS updates and add support for 16bit skins !
The new skin tamplate is here
http://capers.free.fr/ScummVM/skins.php

Let me know if you make some new skins !

[darhorn]

first off, this test version seems to work pretty well, though am at work and cant really test it fully...

did have some issues with the skins though...
the only thing I did was to change the skin depth and change the background graphics.... below is a screenshot of what I get....not exactly what i expected :)

Darrin

[chrilith]

well ... there is a bug ... seems to works only on Clie devices
i'll check it

just upload the fixed ScummVM version, let me know if it works

[darhorn]

that works great!

question though, is there a way to use a transparent color for the selected row in the list?

[chrilith]

you mean no background color ?

[darhorn]

yeah....so I dont get the bar showing when I select an item

[chrilith]

yeah....so I dont get the bar showing when I select an item

no sorry :(

[darhorn]

darn.... oh well got it as good as I am going to get it for now....
it fits the whole Gant theme I have going on here...

The green ooze is what I use as the icon for this in the launcher, and you might have noticed that I changed a couple of the bitmaps in the prc

thanks for all your hard work with this!
