Hi chrilith,

I owe a Zire 71 and downloaded this great piece of software this morning.

After some playing around, what has to be installed where (a readme for installation would be helpful), I finally put the palm files to RAM and the engine and data files to the "MOD" folder (found under "SCUMMVM") on my card.

I wanted to try the freeware version of Amazon Queen (queen.1, 22.147 KB) from the ScummVM.org site, but it won´t run. The game intro starts but freezes after the 3rd screen. Is this a memory problem?

Can you tell me, which games run on my Zire 71?

Thanks for the help,
Dark

I think this is a memory problem, could you give me the free memory of your device, using scummvm memory panel ?

Every supported scumm games should work and simon the sorcerer (at lest Simon1)

chrilith,

it says 933 KB dynamic (of 1024) and 6557 KB storage (of 14207).

Meanwhile I started DOTT (installed tentacle.000, tentacle.001, tentacle.002 and monster.sou) and I played the first screens. After a short time I always get a "MemoryMgr.c, Line:2757, MemMove to NULL" error and I have to reboot.

Thanks for help,
Dark

Do I have to unistall/delete the old version before installing the new one? Or I can simply install the new one, which overwrite the old one?

May someone suggest me the best version to be used with palmos4 devices? The later version are getting very large, and maybe they have some improvement only for palmos5 pdas.

thanks

DarkPadawan : i'll try to check this...

paso : better to remove the old version beacuse this new one is very different from preview versions

The best is the lastest, and in fact improvement are mainly OS5 (ARM)
But this version still work well on OS3.5/4.0 devices (i have a T625C ;))

Hello, I try the new test version with MI2 et Queen1. It works but if I chose "adlib" for music, the game works very very slow and the sound plays very cropy.
So I'm happy to see music on Palmone device but at this time it's playable.

That's a good idea to put part of the code on the memory card. But This application is getting very large, don't you think to separate the two versions? I mean to provide two separate .engine files, one for os5 and one for os4. This way could be better? you know, clie os4 machine are not very fast in reading from the memory stick.

second question: are you using some mediaq graphic acceleration?
