1.1) About ScummVM:
|
|
|
|
---- --------------
|
2007-01-04 17:01:10 +00:00
|
|
|
ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical
|
|
|
|
point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables
|
|
|
|
shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which
|
|
|
|
they were never designed!
|
2007-01-04 17:01:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft's Simon
|
|
|
|
the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1
|
|
|
|
and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the
|
|
|
|
Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; Westwood Studios' The Legend of
|
|
|
|
Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility
|
|
|
|
for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle,
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which
|
|
|
|
games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is
|
|
|
|
continually improving, so check back often.
|
2007-01-04 17:01:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Among the systems on which you can play those games are Windows, Linux,
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, PSP, PS2,
|
|
|
|
SymbianOS/EPOC, iPhone and many more.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this time ScummVM should be considered beta software, and is still
|
|
|
|
under heavy development. Be aware that whilst we attempt to make sure
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
that many games can be completed with few major bugs, crashes can
|
|
|
|
happen.

ScummVM easier and quicker. If you cannot donate, help and contribute a

|
1.2) Quick start:
|
|
|
|
---- ------------
|
|
|
|
For the impatient among you, here is how to get ScummVM running in five
|
|
|
|
simple steps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Download ScummVM from <http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php> and
|
|
|
|
install it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Create a directory on your hard drive and copy the game datafiles
|
|
|
|
from the original media to this directory. Repeat this for every game
|
|
|
|
you want to play.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Start ScummVM, choose 'Add game', select the directory with the game
|
|
|
|
datafiles (do not try to select the datafiles themselves!) and press
|
|
|
|
'Choose'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. A dialog should popup allowing you to configure various settings if
|
|
|
|
you wish to (it should be just fine to leave everything at its default,
|
|
|
|
though). Confirm the dialog.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Select the game you want to play in the list, and press 'Start'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the future, you should be able to directly skip to step 5, unless you
|
|
|
|
want to add more games.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hint: If you want to add multiple games in one go, try pressing and
|
|
|
|
holding the shift key before clicking 'Add game' -- its label will
|
|
|
|
change to 'Mass Add' and if you press it, you are again asked to select
|
|
|
|
a directory, only this time ScummVM will search through all
|
|
|
|
subdirectoriess for supported games.

link from our homepage. Please make sure the bug is reproducible, and
|
2006-06-04 20:08:06 +00:00
|
|
|
still occurs in the latest SVN/Daily build version. Also check the known
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Please do not report bugs on games that are not listed as being
|
|
|
|
completeable in the 'Supported Games' section, or compatibility list. We
|
|
|
|
-know- those games have bugs.
|
2003-09-09 14:14:29 +00:00
|
|
|

|
2003-09-09 14:14:29 +00:00

|
|
|
version without the bug, and the first version including
|
|
|

the bug. That way we can fix it quicker by looking at the
|
|
|
|
changes made.

3.1) Copy Protection:
|
|
|
|
---- ----------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The ScummVM team does not condone piracy. However, there are cases where
|
|
|
|
the game companies (such as LucasArts) themselves bundled 'cracked'
|
|
|
|
executables with their games -- in these cases the data files still
|
|
|
|
contain the copy protection scripts, but the interpreter bypasses them
|
|
|
|
(similar to what an illegally cracked version might do, only that here
|
|
|
|
the producer of the game did it). There is no way for us to tell the
|
|
|
|
difference between legitimate and pirated data files, so for the games
|
|
|
|
where we know that a cracked version of the original interpreter was
|
|
|
|
sold at some point, ScummVM will always have to bypass the copy
|
|
|
|
protection.
|
2007-01-04 17:01:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In some cases ScummVM will still show the copy protection screen. Try
|
|
|
|
entering any answer. Chances are that it will work.

3.2) Commodore64 games notes:
|
|
|
|
---- ------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Both Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken run but Maniac Mansion is not yet
|
|
|
|
playable. Simply name the D64 disks "maniac1.d64" and "maniac2.d64"
|
|
|
|
respectively "zak1.d64" and "zak2.d64", then ScummVM should be able to
|
|
|
|
automatically detect the game if you point it at the right directory.
|
2007-01-04 17:01:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2007-08-19 11:50:13 +00:00
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use 'extract_mm_c64' from the tools package to
|
2007-01-04 17:01:10 +00:00
|
|
|
extract the data files. But then the game will not be properly
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
autodetected by ScummVM, and you must make sure that the platform is set
|
|
|
|
to Commodore64. We recommend using the much simpler approach described
|
|
|
|
in the previous paragraph.
|
2006-05-30 01:07:08 +00:00

3.3) Maniac Mansion NES notes:
|
|
|
|
---- -------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Supported versions are English GB (E), French (F), German (G), Swedish
|
|
|
|
(SW) and English US (U). ScummVM requires just the PRG section to run
|
|
|
|
and not the whole ROM.
|
2003-06-16 14:47:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2006-05-30 01:07:08 +00:00
|
|
|
In order to get the game working, you will have to strip out the first
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
16 bytes from the ROM you are trying to work with. Any hex editor will
|
|
|
|
work as long as you are able to copy/paste. After you open the ROM with
|
|
|
|
the hex editor, copy everything from the second row (17th byte) to the
|
|
|
|
end. After you do this, paste it to a new hex file. Name the new file
|
|
|
|
"Maniac Mansion (XX).prg" while XX stands for the version you are
|
|
|
|
working with (E, F, G, SW, or U). The final size should be exactly
|
|
|
|
262144 bytes.
|
2006-05-30 01:07:08 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you add the game manually make sure that the platform is set to NES.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most common mistakes which prevents the game from running:
|
|
|
|
|
2007-01-04 17:01:10 +00:00
|
|
|
* Bad file
|
|
|
|
* ROM extracted with the 0.7.0 tools
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
* You try to feed ScummVM with the FULL ROM and not just the PRG
|
|
|
|
section.
|
2006-06-04 20:08:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
It is also possible to extract the separate LFL files from the PRG
|
|
|
|
section. To do so use the 'extract_mm_nes' utility from the tools
|
|
|
|
package.

3.4) Macintosh games notes:
|
|
|
|
---- ----------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
All LucasArts SCUMM based adventures except COMI also exist in versions
|
|
|
|
for the Macintosh. ScummVM can use most (all?) of them, however, in some
|
|
|
|
cases some additional work is required. First off, if you are not using
|
|
|
|
a Macintosh for this, accessing the CD/floppy data might be tricky. The
|
|
|
|
reason for this is that the mac uses a special disk format called HFS
|
|
|
|
which other systems usually do not support. However, there are various
|
|
|
|
free tools which allow reading such HFS volumes. For example
|
|
|
|
"HFVExplorer" for Windows and "hfsutils" for Linux and other Unix-like
|
|
|
|
operating systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the newer games on the Macintosh shipped with only a single data
|
|
|
|
file (note that in some cases this data file was made invisible, so you
|
|
|
|
may need extra tools in order to copy it). ScummVM is able to directly
|
|
|
|
use such a data file; simply point ScummVM at the directory containing
|
|
|
|
it, and it should work (just like with every other supported game).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We also provide a tool called 'extract_scumm_mac' in the tools package
|
|
|
|
to extract the data from these data files, but this is neither required
|
|
|
|
nor recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

3.5) Multi-CD games notes:
|
|
|
|
---- ---------------------
|
|
|
|
In general, ScummVM does not deal very well with Multi-CD games. This is
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
because ScummVM assumes everything about a game can be found in one
|
|
|
|
directory. Even if ScummVM does make some provisions for asking the user
|
|
|
|
to change CD, the original game executables usually installed a small
|
|
|
|
number of files to the hard disk. Unless these files can be found on all
|
|
|
|
the CDs, ScummVM will be in trouble.
|
2006-06-05 14:18:28 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Fortunately, ScummVM has no problems running the games entirely from
|
|
|
|
hard disk, if you create a directory with the correct combination of
|
|
|
|
files. Usually, when a file appears on more than one CD you can pick
|
|
|
|
either of them.
|
2006-06-05 14:18:28 +00:00
|
|

3.6) The Curse of Monkey Island notes:
|
|
|
|
---- ---------------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
For this game, you will need the comi.la0, comi.la1 and comi.la2 files.
|
|
|
|
The comi.la0 file can be found on either CD, but since they are
|
|
|
|
identical it doesn't matter which one of them you use.
|
2006-06-05 14:18:28 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
In addition, you will need to create a "resource" subdirectory
|
|
|
|
containing all of the files from -both- "resource" subdirectories on the
|
|
|
|
two CDs. Some of the files appear on both CDs, but again they're
|
|
|
|
identical.

3.7) Broken Sword notes:
|
|
|
|
---- -------------------
|
2006-01-14 17:28:20 +00:00
|
|
|
Broken Sword 1 and 2 both come with in-game cutscenes compressed using
|
2007-06-10 08:57:46 +00:00
|
|
|
RAD Game Tools' legacy Smacker(tm) format. As RAD is unwilling to open
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
the older legacy versions of this format to us, and have requested we
|
|
|
|
not reverse engineer it, Revolution Software has kindly allowed us to
|
|
|
|
provide re-encoded Broken Sword cutscenes for download on our website:
|
2006-06-04 20:08:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php
|
2004-01-16 08:53:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
These cutscenes are provided in DXA format with FLAC audio. Their
|
|
|
|
quality is equal to the original games due to the use of lossless
|
|
|
|
compression. Viewing these cutscenes requires a version of ScummVM
|
|
|
|
compiled with both FLAC and zlib support.
|
2004-01-16 08:53:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-03-02 19:54:14 +00:00
|
|
|
The PlayStation version's videos are not yet supported and therefore
|
|
|
|
the DXA cutscenes are also needed.
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
For systems that are too slow to handle the decoding of FLAC audio, the
|
|
|
|
audio for these cutscenes is also provided separately as OGG Vorbis
|
|
|
|
audio. Viewing these cutscenes with OGG Vorbis audio requires a version
|
|
|
|
of ScummVM compiled with both libVorbis and zlib support.
|
2007-01-04 17:01:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The cutscenes should be placed in the main game data directory. Note
|
|
|
|
that currently this requires either copying the game to hard disk or
|
2009-02-27 16:38:35 +00:00
|
|
|
burning customized versions of the game CDs.

The instructions for the Broken Sword games are for the Sold-Out

Software versions, which are the ones you are probably most likely to

find in stores now.

3.7.1) Broken Sword 1:
|
|
|
|
------ ---------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
For this game, you will need all of the files from the clusters
|
2009-03-02 19:54:14 +00:00
|
|
|
directories on both CDs. For the Windows and Macintosh versions, you
|
|
|
|
will also need the speech.clu files from the speech directories, but
|
|
|
|
since they are not identical you will need to rename them speech1.clu
|
|
|
|
and speech2.clu for CD 1 and 2 respectively. The PlayStation version
|
|
|
|
requires the speech.tab, speech.dat, speech.lis, and speech.inf.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, the Windows and Macintosh versions require a music
|
|
|
|
subdirectory with all of the files from the music subdirectories on
|
|
|
|
both CDs. Some of these files appear on both CDs, but in these cases
|
|
|
|
they are either identical or, in one case, so nearly identical that it
|
|
|
|
makes little difference. The PlayStation version requires tunes.dat and
|
|
|
|
tunes.tab.
|
2006-06-04 20:08:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
ScummVM does not support the original cutscene files, so there is no
|
|
|
|
need to copy them.
|
2006-06-05 14:18:28 +00:00

3.7.2) Broken Sword 2:
|
|
|
|
------ ---------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
For this game, you will need all of the files from the clusters
|
|
|
|
directories on both CDs. (Actually, a few of them may not be strictly
|
|
|
|
necessary, but the ones that I'm uncertain about are all fairly small.)
|
|
|
|
You will need to rename the speech.clu and music.clu files speech1.clu,
|
|
|
|
speech2.clu, music1.clu and music2.clu so that ScummVM can tell which
|
|

|
|
|
|
appear in both cluster directories are identical. Use whichever you
|
|
|

like.

In addition, you will need the cd.inf and, optionally, the startup.inf
|
|
|
|
files from the sword2 directory on CD 1.

ScummVM does not support the original cutscene files, so there is no
|
|
|
|
need to copy them.

3.8) Beneath a Steel Sky notes:
|
|
|
|
---- --------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Starting with ScummVM 0.8.0 you need the additional 'SKY.CPT' file to
|
|
|
|
run Beneath a Steel Sky.
|
2006-06-05 14:18:28 +00:00
|
|

|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
This file is available on the 'Downloads' page of the ScummVM website.
|
|
|
|
You can place it in either the directory containing the other game data
|
|
|
|
files (SKY.DNR, SKY.DSK), in your extrapath, or in the directory where
|
|
|
|
your ScummVM executable resides.

3.9) Flight of the Amazon Queen notes:
|
|
|
|
---- ---------------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
In order to use a non-freeware version of Flight of the Amazon Queen
|
|
|
|
(from original CD), you will need to place the 'queen.tbl' file
|
|
|
|
(available from the 'Downloads' page on our website) in either the
|
|
|
|
directory containing the 'queen.1' game data file, in your extrapath, or
|
|
|
|
in the directory where your ScummVM executable resides.
|
2006-01-14 17:28:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use the 'compress_queen' tool from the tools
|
|
|
|
package to 'rebuild' your FOTAQ data file to include the table for that
|
|
|
|
specific version, and thus removing the run-time dependency on the
|
|
|
|
'queen.tbl' file. This tool also allows you to compress the speech and
|
|
|
|
sound effects with MP3, OGG or FLAC.

3.10) Gobliiins notes:
|
|
|
|
----- ----------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The CD versions of the Gobliiins series contain one big audio track
|
|
|
|
which you need to rip (see the section on using compressed audio files)
|
|
|
|
and copy into the game directory if you want to have in-game music
|
|
|
|
without the CD in the drive all the time. The speech is also in that
|
|
|
|
track and its volume is therefore changed with the music volume control
|
|
|
|
as well.

2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
In order to run the Mac OS X Wyrmkeep re-release of the game you will
|
|
|
|
need to copy over data from the CD to your hard disk. If you're on a PC
|
|
|
|
then consult:

|
|
|
Although it primarily talks about SCUMM games, it mentions the
|
|
|
|
"HFVExplorer" utility which you need to extract the files. Note that you
|
|
|
|
have to put the speech data "Inherit the Earth Voices" in the same
|
|
|
|
directory as the game data which is stored in:
|
2005-07-28 13:52:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Inherit the Earth.app/Contents/Resources
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
For the old Mac OS 9 release you need to copy the files in MacBinary
|
|
|
|
format, as they should include both resource and data forks. Copy all
|
|
|
|
'ITE *' files.

3.12) Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2 notes:
|
|
|
|
----- ---------------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
If you have the dual version of Simon the Sorcerer 1 or 2 on CD, you
|
|
|
|
will find the Windows version in the main directory of the CD and the
|
|
|
|
DOS version in the DOS directory of the CD.
|

3.13) The Feeble Files notes:
|
|
|
|
----- -----------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
If you have the Windows version of The Feeble Files, there are several
|
|
|
|
things to note.
|
2006-05-31 19:34:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Many of the files necessary for the game are stored in an InstallShield
|
|
|
|
file called data1.cab, which ScummVM is unable to unpack. You will need
|
|
|
|
to use the original installer or i5comp to unpack the contents of this
|
|
|
|
file. The i5comp decompression tool, can be found via a search on the
|
|
|
|
internet.
|
2007-01-04 17:01:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use the speech files with ScummVM, they need to be renamed as follows:
|
2006-06-21 13:19:07 +00:00
|
|
|
Rename voices.wav on CD1 to voices1.wav
|
|
|
|
Rename voices.wav on CD2 to voices2.wav
|
|
|
|
Rename voices.wav on CD3 to voices3.wav
|
|
|
|
Rename voices.wav on CD4 to voices4.wav
|

3.14) The Legend of Kyrandia notes:
|
|
|
|
----- -----------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
To run The Legend of Kyrandia under ScummVM you need the 'kyra.dat'
|
|
|
|
file, which can be found on the 'Downloads' page of the ScummVM website.
|
2006-06-04 20:08:06 +00:00

3.15) Sierra AGI games Predictive Input Dialog notes:
|
|
|
|
----- -----------------------------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The Predictive Input Dialog is a ScummVM aid for running AGI engines
|
|
|
|
games (which notoriously require command line input) on devices with
|
|
|
|
limited keyboard support. In these situations since typing with emulated
|
|
|
|
keyboards is quite tedious, commands can be entered quickly and easily
|
|
|
|
via the Predictive Input Dialog.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to enable predictive input in AGI games, you need to copy the
|
|
|
|
pred.dic file in the ScummVM extras directory or the directory of the
|
|
|
|
game you wish to play. This dictionary has been created by parsing
|
|
|
|
through all known AGI games and contains the maximum set of common
|
|
|
|
words.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the dictionary is detected, the Predictive Input Dialog is displayed
|
|
|
|
either when you click on the command line area (wherever keyboard input
|
|
|
|
is required, even in dialog boxes), or in some ports by pressing a
|
|
|
|
designated hot key.
|
2007-06-10 20:14:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The predictive input dialog operates in three modes, switchable by the
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
(*)Pre/123/Abc button. The primary input method is the predictive mode
|
|
|
|
(Pre) which resembles the way "fast typing" is performed at phones. The
|
|
|
|
alphabet is divided into 9 sets which naturally map to the 9 number keys
|
|
|
|
of the numeric keypad (0 is space). To type in a word, you press once
|
|
|
|
the number of the set which contains the letter of the word you intend
|
|
|
|
to type, then move on to the next. For example, to type the command
|
|
|
|
'look', you should press 5665. As you gradually type the intended word's
|
|
|
|
numeric code, the dictionary is accessed for known words matching your
|
|
|
|
input up to that point. As you press more keys, the prediction converges
|
|
|
|
to the correct word. This is why the printed word may change
|
|
|
|
dramatically between key presses. There exist situations though where
|
|
|
|
more than one words share the same numeric representation. For example
|
|
|
|
the words 'quit' and 'suit' map to the same number, namely 7848. In
|
|
|
|
these cases the (#)next button lights up. By pressing it, you can cycle
|
|
|
|
through the list of words sharing the same code and finally accept the
|
|
|
|
correct one by pressing (0)space or the Ok button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second input method (123) is the numeric input: Each key you press
|
|
|
|
is entered verbatim as a number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The third input method (Abc) is the Multi-tap Alpha input mode. This
|
|
|
|
mode is intended for entering free text, without assistance from the
|
|
|
|
dictionary scheme of predictive (Pre) mode. The text is entered one
|
|
|
|
letter at the time. For each letter first press the number of the set
|
|
|
|
which contains the letter you want, then use the (#)next button to cycle
|
|
|
|
through the letters and repeat with another number. For example, to
|
|
|
|
enter the word 'look' you must press the following: 5##6##6##5#
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The dialog is fully usable with the mouse, but a few provisions have
|
|
|
|
been made in some ScummVM ports to make its use more comfortable by
|
|
|
|
naturally mapping the functionality to the numeric keypad. Also, the
|
|
|
|
dialog's buttons can be navigated with the arrow and the enter keys.

3.16) Mickey's Space Adventure notes:
|
|
|
|
----- -------------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
To run Mickey's Space Adventure under ScummVM, the original executable
|
|
|
|
of the game (mickey.exe) is needed together with the game's data files.
|
2007-12-10 21:25:55 +00:00

|
There is extensive mouse support for the game under ScummVM, even though
|
|
|
|
there wasn't any mouse support in the original game. Menu items can be
|
|
|
|
selected using the mouse, and it is possible to move to other locations
|
|
|
|
using the mouse as well. When the mouse cursor is hovered on the edges
|
|
|
|
of the screen, it changes color to red if it is possible to walk towards
|
|
|
|
that direction. The player can then simply click on the edges of the
|
|
|
|
game's screen to change location, similar to many adventure games, which
|
|
|
|
is simpler and more straightforward than moving around using the menu.

|
|
|
|
----- -------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The original game came in a PC booter disk, therefore it is necessary to
|
|
|
|
dump the contents of that disk in an image file and name it "troll.img"
|
|
|
|
to be able to play the game under ScummVM.

This release has the following known problems. There is no need to
|
|
|
|
report them, although patches to fix them are welcome. If you discover a
|
|
|
|
bug that is not listed here, nor in the compatibility list on the web
|
|
|
|
site, please see the section on reporting bugs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CD Audio Games:
|
|
|
|
- When playing games that use CD Audio (FM-TOWNS games, Loom CD, etc)
|
|
|
|
users of Microsoft Windows 2000/XP may experience random crashes.
|
|
|
|
This is due to a long-standing Windows bug, resulting in corrupt
|
|
|
|
game files being read from the CD. Please copy the game data to
|
|
|
|
your hard disk to avoid this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FM-TOWNS versions:
|
|
|
|
- The Kanji versions require the FM-TOWNS Font ROM
|
|
|
|
- ScummVM will crash randomly when using the FM-TOWNS Font ROM for
|
|
|
|
the Kanji versions of the following games:
|
|
|
|
The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
|
|
|
|
and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Loom:
|
|
|
|
- Turning off the subtitles via the config file does not work reliably
|
|
|
|
as the Loom scripts automatically turn them on again
|
|

5.0) Running ScummVM:
|
|
|
|
---- ----------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Please note that by default, ScummVM will save games in the directory it
|
|
|
|
is executed from, so you should refrain from running it from more than
|
|
|
|
one location. Further information, including how to specify a specific
|
|
|
|
save directory to avoid this issue, are in section 6.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ScummVM can be launched directly by running the executable. In this
|
|
|
|
case, the built-in launcher will activate. From this, you can add games
|
|
|
|
(click 'Add Game'), or launch games which have already been configured.
|
|
|
|
Games can also be added in mass quantities. By pressing shift + 'Add
|
|
|
|
Game' (Note that the image turns to 'Mass Add'), you can then specify a
|
|
|
|
directory to start in, and ScummVM will attempt to detect games in all
|
|
|
|
subdirectories of that directory.

The meaning of most long options (that is, those options starting with a
|
|
|
|
double-dash) can be inverted by prefixing them with "no-". For example,
|
2007-02-16 20:29:49 +00:00
|
|
|
--no-aspect-ratio will turn aspect ratio correction off. This is useful
|
2007-01-07 22:27:57 +00:00
|
|
|
if you want to override a setting in the configuration file.

The short game name ('game target') you see at the end of the command
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
line specifies which game is started. It either corresponds to an
|
|
|
|
arbitrary user defined target (from the configuration file), or to a
|
|
|
|
built-in gameid. A brief list of the latter can be found in section 3.0.

|
|
|
multilanguage versions of Goblins games and Nippon Safes Inc., using
|
|
|
|
this option does *not* change the language of the game (which usually is
|
|
|
|
hardcoded), but rather is only used to select the appropriate font (e.g.
|
|
|
|
for a German version of a game, one containing umlauts).

5.3) Graphics filters:
|
|
|
|
---- -----------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
ScummVM offers several anti-aliasing filters to attempt to improve
|
|
|
|
visual quality. These are the same filters used in many other emulators,
|
|
|
|
such as MAME. These filters take the original game graphics, and scale
|
|
|
|
it by a certain fixed factor (usually 2x or 3x) before displaying them
|
|
|
|
to you. So for example, if the game originally run at a resolution of
|
|
|
|
320x200 (typical for most of the SCUMM games), then using a filter with
|
|
|
|
scale factor 2x will effectively yield 640x400 graphics. Likewise with a
|
2007-01-07 22:27:57 +00:00
|
|
|

To select a graphics filter, pass its name via the '-g' option to
|
|
|
|
scummvm, for example:

|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Note #1: Not all backends support all (or even any) of the filters
|
|
|
|
listed above; some may support additional ones. The filters listed above
|
|
|
|
are those supported by the default SDL backend.
|
2002-12-01 15:16:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note #2: Filters can be very slow when ScummVM is compiled in a debug
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
configuration without optimizations. And there is always a speed impact
|
|
|
|
when using any form of anti-aliasing/linear filtering.

2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Note #3: The FM-TOWNS version of Zak McKracken uses an original
|
|
|
|
resolution of 320x240, hence for this game scalers will scale to 640x480
|
|
|
|
or 960x720. Likewise, games that originally were using 640x480 (such as
|
|
|
|
Curse of Monkey Island or Broken Sword) will be scaled to 1280x960 and
|
|
|
|
1920x1440.

---- ------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The Global Menu is a general menu which is available to all of the game
|
|
|
|
engines by pressing Ctrl-F5. From this menu there are the following
|
|
|
|
buttons: Resume, Options, About, Return to Launcher, and Quit. Selecting
|
|
|
|
'Options' will display a dialog where basic audio settings, such as
|
|
|
|
volume levels, can be adjusted. Selecting 'Return to Launcher' will
|
|
|
|
close the current game and return the user back to the ScummVM Launcher,
|
|
|
|
where another game may be selected to play.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: Returning to the Launcher is not supported by all of the engines,
|
|
|
|
and the button will be disabled in the Global Menu if it is not
|
|
|
|
supported.
|

6.0) Savegames:
|
|
|
|
---- ----------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Savegames are by default put in the current directory on some platforms
|
|
|
|
and preset directories on others. You can specify the save in the
|
|
|
|
config file by setting the savepath parameter. See the example config
|
2009-04-18 21:12:32 +00:00
|
|
|
file later in this README.
|
2004-12-20 23:10:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The platforms that currently have a different default directory are:
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Mac OS X: $HOME/Documents/ScummVM Savegames/

6.1) Autosaves:
|
|
|
|
---- ----------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
For some games, (namely "Beneath a Steel Sky", "Flight of the Amazon
|
|
|
|
Queen", all AGI games, and all SCUMM games), ScummVM will by default
|
|
|
|
automatically save the current state every five minutes (adjustable via
|
|
|
|
the "autosave_period" config setting). For the AGI and SCUMM engines, it
|
|
|
|
will save in Slot 0. For the SCUMM engine, this savestate can then be
|
|
|
|
loaded again via Ctrl-0, or the F5 menu.

2007-01-04 17:33:09 +00:00
|
|
|
On most operating systems and for most games, ScummVM will by default
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
use Adlib emulation for music playback. MIDI may not be available on all
|
|
|
|
operating systems or may need manual configuration. If you want to use
|
|
|
|
MIDI, you have several different choices of output, depending on your
|
|
|
|
operating system and configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
null - Null output. Don't play any music.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adlib - Internal Adlib emulation (default)
|
|
|
|
fluidsynth - FluidSynth MIDI emulation
|
|
|
|
mt32 - Internal MT-32 emulation
|
|
|
|
pcjr - Internal PCjr emulation (only usable in SCUMM games)
|
|

To select a sound driver, select it in the Launcher, or pass its name
|
|
|
|
via the '-e' option to scummvm, for example:

|
|
7.1) Playing sound with Adlib emulation:
|
|
|
|
---- -----------------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
By default an Adlib card will be emulated and ScummVM will output the
|
|
|
|
music as sampled waves. This is the default mode for most games, and
|
|
|
|
offers the best compatibility between machines and games.
|
2002-05-08 09:38:23 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2005-04-10 14:33:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2006-05-30 01:07:08 +00:00
|
|
|
7.2) Playing sound with FluidSynth MIDI emulation:
|
2005-04-10 14:33:44 +00:00
|
|
|
---- ----------------------------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
If ScummVM was build with libfluidsynth support it will be able to play
|
|
|
|
MIDI music through the FluidSynth driver. You will have to specify a
|
|
|
|
SoundFont to use, however.
|
2005-04-10 14:33:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Since the default output volume from FluidSynth can be fairly low,
|
|
|
|
ScummVM will set the gain by default to get a stronger signal. This can
|
|
|
|
be further adjusted using the --midi-gain command-line option, or the
|
|
|
|
"midi_gain" config file setting.
|
2006-01-14 20:05:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The setting can take any value from 0 through 1000, with the default
|
|
|
|
being 100. (This corresponds to FluidSynth's gain settings of 0.0
|
|
|
|
through 10.0, which are presumably measured in decibel.)
|
2006-01-14 20:05:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
NOTE: The processor requirements for FluidSynth can be fairly high in
|
|
|
|
some cases. A fast CPU is recommended.
|

|
7.3) Playing sound with MT-32 emulation:
|
2004-10-21 22:37:37 +00:00
|
|
|
---- -----------------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Some games which contain MIDI music data also have improved tracks
|
|
|
|
designed for the MT-32 sound module. ScummVM can now emulate this
|
|
|
|
device, however you must provide original MT-32 ROMs to make it work:
|
2004-12-05 16:19:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MT32_PCM.ROM - IC21 (512KB)
|
2004-12-27 15:04:21 +00:00
|
|
|
MT32_CONTROL.ROM - IC26 (32KB) and IC27 (32KB), interleaved byte-wise
|
2004-12-05 16:19:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Place these ROMs in the game directory, in your extrapath, or in the
|
|
|
|
directory where your ScummVM executable resides.
|
2004-10-21 22:37:37 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
You don't need to specify --native-mt32 with this driver, as it
|
|
|
|
automatically gets turned on.
|
2004-10-21 22:37:37 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
NOTE: The processor requirements for the emulator are quite high; a fast
|
|
|
|
CPU is strongly recommended.
|
2002-05-16 06:46:50 +00:00

7.4) Playing sound with MIDI emulation:
|
2003-09-09 14:14:29 +00:00
|
|
|
---- ----------------------------------
|
2006-06-06 22:41:09 +00:00
|
|
|
Some games (such as Sam & Max) only contain MIDI music data. This once
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
prevented music for these games from working on platforms that do not
|
|
|
|
support MIDI, or soundcards that do not provide MIDI drivers (e.g. many
|
|
|
|
soundcards will not play MIDI under Linux). ScummVM can now emulate MIDI
|
|
|
|
mode using sampled waves and Adlib, FluidSynth MIDI emulation or MT-32
|
|
|
|
emulation using the -eadlib, -efluidsynth or -emt32 options
|
|
|
|
respectively. However, if you are capable of using native MIDI, we
|
|
|
|
recommend using one of the MIDI modes below for best sound.
|
2004-12-10 12:22:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2002-05-08 09:38:23 +00:00

7.5) Playing sound with Native MIDI:
|
2003-09-09 14:14:29 +00:00
|
|
|
---- -------------------------------
|
2002-04-15 21:37:15 +00:00
|
|
|
Use the appropriate -e<mode> command line option from the list above to
|
2002-05-08 09:38:23 +00:00
|
|
|
select your preferred MIDI device. For example, if you wish to use the
|
|
|
|
Windows MIDI driver, use the -ewindows option.
|
2002-03-14 08:04:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2002-05-16 06:46:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2005-04-13 13:44:31 +00:00
|
|
|
7.5.1) Using MIDI options to customize Native MIDI output:
|
|
|
|
------ ---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ScummVM supports a variety of MIDI modes, depending on the capabilities
|
|
|
|
of your MIDI device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If --native-mt32 is specified, ScummVM will treat your device as a real
|
|
|
|
MT-32. Because the instrument mappings and system exclusive commands of
|
|
|
|
the MT-32 vary from those of General MIDI devices, you should only
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
enable this option if you are using an actual Roland MT-32, LAPC-I,
|
|
|
|
CM-64, CM-32L, CM-500, or GS device with an MT-32 map.
|
2005-04-13 13:44:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If --enable-gs is specified, ScummVM will initialize your GS-compatible
|
|
|
|
device with settings that mimic the MT-32's reverb, (lack of) chorus,
|
|
|
|
pitch bend sensitivity, etc. If it is specified in conjunction with
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
--native-mt32, ScummVM will select the MT-32-compatible map and drumset
|
|
|
|
on your GS device. This setting works better than default GM or GS
|
|
|
|
emulation with games that do not have custom instrument mappings (Loom
|
|
|
|
and Monkey1). You should only specify both settings if you are using a
|
|
|
|
GS device that has an MT-32 map, such as an SC-55, SC-88, SC-88 Pro,
|
|
|
|
SC-8820, SC-8850, etc. Please note that --enable-gs is automatically
|
|
|
|
disabled in both DOTT and Samnmax, since they use General MIDI natively.
|
2005-04-13 13:44:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
If neither of the above settings is enabled, ScummVM will initialize
|
|
|
|
your device in General MIDI mode and use GM emulation in games with
|
|
|
|
MT-32 soundtracks.
|
2005-04-13 13:44:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Some games contain sound effects that are exclusive to the Adlib
|
|
|
|
soundtrack. For these games, you may wish to specify --multi-midi in
|
|
|
|
order to combine MIDI music with Adlib sound effects.

7.6) Playing sound with Sequencer MIDI: [UNIX ONLY]
|
|
|
|
---- ----------------------------------
|
2002-03-14 08:04:21 +00:00
|
|
|
If your soundcard driver supports a sequencer, you may set the environment
|
2006-02-04 22:27:52 +00:00
|
|
|
variable "SCUMMVM_MIDI" to your sequencer device -- for example, to
|
2006-01-21 13:19:56 +00:00
|
|
|
/dev/sequencer
|
2002-03-14 08:04:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2002-05-12 09:21:27 +00:00
|
|
|
If you have problems with not hearing audio in this configuration, it is
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
possible you will need to set the "SCUMMVM_MIDIPORT" variable to 1 or 2.
|
|
|
|
This selects the port on the selected sequencer to use. Then start
|
|
|
|
scummvm with the -eseq parameter. This should work on several cards, and
|
|
|
|
may offer better performance and quality than Adlib emulation. However,
|
|
|
|
for those systems where sequencer support does not work, you can always
|
|
|
|
fall back on Adlib emulation.
|
2002-03-14 08:04:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2002-05-16 06:46:50 +00:00

7.6.1) Playing sound with ALSA sequencer: [UNIX ONLY]
|
2004-07-27 00:37:11 +00:00
|
|
|
------ ----------------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
If you have installed the ALSA driver with the sequencer support, then
|
|
|
|
set the environment variable SCUMMVM_PORT or the config file parameter
|
|
|
|
alsa_port to your sequencer port. The default is to try both "65:0" and
|
|
|
|
"17:0".
|
2002-05-16 06:46:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Here is a little howto on how to use the ALSA sequencer with your
|
|
|
|
soundcard. In all cases, to have a list of all the sequencer ports you
|
|
|
|
have, try the command "aconnect -o -l". This should give output similar
|
|
|
|
to:

2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The most important bit here is that there are four WaveTable MIDI
|
|
|
|
outputs located at 17:0, 17:1, 17:2 and 17:3, and four TiMidity ports
|
|
|
|
located at 128:0, 128:1, 128:2 and 128:3.
|
2002-05-16 06:46:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have a FM-chip on your card, like the SB16, then you have to load
|
2007-02-16 20:29:49 +00:00
|
|
|
the SoundFonts using the sbiload software. Example:
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-08-05 21:43:10 +00:00
|
|
|
sbiload -p 17:0 /etc/std.o3 /etc/drums.o3
|
2002-05-16 06:46:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
If you have a WaveTable capable sound card, you have to load a sbk or
|
|
|
|
sf2 SoundFont using the sfxload or asfxload software. Example:
|
|
|
|
|
2003-03-17 09:11:57 +00:00
|
|
|
sfxload /path/to/8mbgmsfx.sf2
|
2002-05-16 06:46:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
If you don't have a MIDI capable soundcard, there are two options:
|
|
|
|
FluidSynth and TiMidity. We recommend FluidSynth, as on many systems
|
|
|
|
TiMidity will 'lag' behind music. This is very noticeable in
|
|
|
|
iMUSE-enabled games, which use fast and dynamic music transitions.
|
|
|
|
Running TiMidity as root will allow it to setup real time priority,
|
|
|
|
which may reduce music lag.

7.6.2) Playing sound with IRIX dmedia sequencer: [UNIX ONLY]
|
|
|
|
---- ------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you are using IRIX, driver with the sequencer support, you can
|
|
|
|
set the environment variable SCUMMVM_PORT or the config file parameter
|
|
|
|
dmedia_port to your sequencer port. The default is to use the first port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To get a list of configured midi interfaces on your system, run startmidi
|
2009-04-18 21:12:32 +00:00
|
|
|
without parameters. Example output:
|
2009-03-16 04:15:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 MIDI interfaces configured:
|
|
|
|
Serial Port 2
|
|
|
|
Software Synth
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this example, you can configure ScummVM to use the "Software Synth"
|
|
|
|
instead of the default "Serial Port 2" by adding a line
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dmedia_port=Software Synth
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to your configuration file in the section [scummvm], or setting
|
|
|
|
SCUMMVM_PORT=Software Synth in your environment.
|

7.7) Using TiMidity++ MIDI server:
|
|
|
|
---- -----------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
If you system lacks any MIDI sequencer, but you still want better MIDI
|
|
|
|
quality than default Adlib emulation can offer, you can try TiMidity++
|
|
|
|
MIDI server. See http://timidity.sourceforge.net/ for download and
|
|
|
|
install instructions.
|
2007-11-02 16:01:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, you need to start a daemon:
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
timidity -ir 7777
|
2007-11-02 16:01:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Now you can start scummvm and try selection TiMidity music output. By
|
|
|
|
default, it will connect to localhost:7777, but you can change host/port
|
|
|
|
by defining "TIMIDITY_HOST" environment variable.

7.8) Using compressed audio files
|
|
|
|
---- ----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.8.0) Using MP3 files for CD audio:
|
2003-09-09 14:14:29 +00:00
|
|
|
------ -----------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Use LAME or some other MP3 encoder to rip the cd audio tracks to files.
|
|
|
|
Name the files track1.mp3 track2.mp3 etc. ScummVM must be compiled with
|
|
|
|
MAD support to use this option. You will need to rip the file from the
|
|
|
|
CD as a WAV file, then encode the MP3 files in constant bit rate. This
|
|
|
|
can be done with the following LAME command line:
|
2002-04-15 21:37:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-09-09 08:53:04 +00:00
|
|
|
lame -t -q 0 -b 96 track1.wav track1.mp3
|
2002-04-15 21:37:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2002-04-27 10:21:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2007-11-02 16:01:52 +00:00
|
|
|
7.8.1) Using Ogg Vorbis files for CD audio:
|
2003-09-09 14:14:29 +00:00
|
|
|
------ ------------------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Use oggenc or some other vorbis encoder to encode the audio tracks to
|
|
|
|
files. Name the files track1.ogg track2.ogg etc. ScummVM must be
|
|
|
|
compiled with vorbis support to use this option. You will need to rip
|
|
|
|
the files from the CD as a WAV file, then encode the vorbis files. This
|
|
|
|
can be done with the following oggenc command line with the value after
|
|
|
|
q specifying the desired quality from 0 to 10:
|
2002-12-02 00:38:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-09-09 08:53:04 +00:00
|
|
|
oggenc -q 5 track1.wav
|
2002-12-02 00:38:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-11-02 16:01:52 +00:00
|
|
|
7.8.2) Using Flac files for CD audio:
|
2004-02-22 14:11:16 +00:00
|
|
|
------ ------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Use flac or some other flac encoder to encode the audio tracks to files.
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Name the files track1.flac track2.flac etc. In your filesystem only
|
|
|
|
allows three letter extensions, name the files track1.fla track2.fla
|
|
|
|
etc. ScummVM must be compiled with flac support to use this option. You
|
|
|
|
will need to rip the files from the CD as a WAV file, then encode the
|
|
|
|
flac files. This can be done with the following flac command line:
|
2004-02-22 14:11:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
flac --best track1.wav
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Remember that the quality is always the same, varying encoder options
|
|
|
|
will only affect the encoding time and resulting filesize.

7.8.3) Compressing MONSTER.SOU with MP3:
|
2003-09-09 14:14:29 +00:00
|
|
|
------ ---------------------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
You need LAME, and our 'compress_scumm_sou' utility from the
|
|
|
|
scummvm-tools package to perform this task, and ScummVM must be compiled
|
|
|
|
with MAD support.
|
2002-04-15 21:37:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2004-12-24 01:17:04 +00:00

|
|
|
|
2003-12-23 13:10:46 +00:00
|
|
|
Eventually you will have a much smaller monster.so3 file, copy this file
|
|
|
|
to your game directory. You can safely remove the monster.sou file.
|
2002-03-14 08:04:21 +00:00
|

2002-04-27 10:21:04 +00:00

|
|
|
7.8.4) Compressing MONSTER.SOU with Ogg Vorbis:
|
2003-09-09 14:14:29 +00:00
|
|
|
------ ----------------------------------------
|
2003-09-12 03:13:51 +00:00
|
|
|
As above, but ScummVM must be compiled with OGG support. Run:
|
2002-12-02 21:43:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2004-12-24 01:17:04 +00:00
|
|
|
compress_scumm_sou --vorbis monster.sou
|
2002-12-02 00:38:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
This should produce a smaller monster.sog file, which you should copy to
|
|
|
|
your game directory. Ogg encoding may take a considerable longer amount
|
|
|
|
of time than MP3, so have a good book handy.
|

7.8.5) Compressing MONSTER.SOU with Flac:
|
2004-02-22 14:11:16 +00:00
|
|
|
------ ----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As above, but ScummVM must be compiled with Flac support. Run:
|
|
|
|
|
2007-07-23 03:01:07 +00:00
|
|
|
compress_scumm_sou --flac monster.sou

2004-02-22 14:11:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
This should produce a smaller monster.sof file, which you should copy to
|
|
|
|
your game directory. Remember that the quality is always the same,
|
|
|
|
varying encoder options will only affect the encoding time and resulting
|
|
|
|
file size. Playing with the blocksize (-b <value>), has the biggest
|
|
|
|
impact on the resulting file size -- 1152 seems to be a good value for
|
|
|
|
those kind of soundfiles. Be sure to read the encoder documentation
|
|
|
|
before you use other values.

2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The 'compress_sword1' tool from the scummvm-tools package can encode
|
|
|
|
music and speech to MP3 as well as Ogg Vorbis. The easiest way to encode
|
|
|
|
the files is simply copying the executable into your BS1 directory
|
|
|
|
(together with the lame encoder) and run it from there. This way, it
|
|
|
|
will automatically encode everything to MP3. Afterwards, you can
|
|
|
|
manually remove the SPEECH?.CLU files and the wave music files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running "compress_sword1 --vorbis" will compress the files using Ogg
|
|
|
|
Vorbis instead of MP3.

|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
It is possible to use Flac compression by adding the --flac option.
|
|
|
|
However, the resulting *.clf file will actually be larger than the
|
|
|
|
original.
|
2004-09-06 06:39:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Please note that compress_sword2 will only work with the four
|
|
|
|
speech/music files in Broken Sword 2. It will not work with any of the
|
|
|
|
other *.clu files, nor will it work with the speech files from Broken

7.9) Output sample rate:
|
2004-07-16 10:24:29 +00:00
|
|
|
---- -------------------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
The output sample rate tells ScummVM how many sound samples to play per
|
|
|
|
channel per second. There is much that could be said on this subject,
|
|
|
|
but most of it would be irrelevant here. The short version is that for
|
|
|
|
most games 22050 Hz is fine, but in some cases 44100 Hz is preferable.
|
|
|
|
On extremely low-end systems you may want to use 11025 Hz, but it is
|
|
|
|
unlikely that you have to worry about that.
|
2004-07-16 10:24:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
To elaborate, most of the sounds ScummVM has to play were sampled at
|
|
|
|
either 22050 Hz or 11025 Hz. Using a higher sample rate will not
|
|
|
|
magically improve the quality of these sounds. Hence, 22050 Hz is fine.
|
2004-07-16 10:24:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some games use CD audio. If you use compressed files for this, they are
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
probably sampled at 44100 Hz, so for these games that may be a better
|
|
|
|
choice of sample rate.
|
2004-07-16 10:24:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
When using the Adlib, FM Towns, PC Speaker or IBM PCjr music drivers,
|
|
|
|
ScummVM is responsible for generating the samples. Usually 22050 Hz will
|
|
|
|
be plenty for these, but there is at least one piece of Adlib music in
|
|
|
|
Beneath a Steel Sky that will sound a lot better at 44100 Hz.
|
2004-07-16 10:24:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Using frequencies in between is not recommended. For one thing, your
|
|
|
|
sound card may not support it. In theory, ScummVM should fall back on a
|
|
|
|
sensible frequency in that case, but don't count on it. More
|
|
|
|
importantly, ScummVM has to resample all sounds to its output frequency.
|
|
|
|
This is much easier to do well if the output frequency is a multiple of
|
|
|
|
the original frequency.

9.0) Compiling:
|
|
|
|
---- ----------
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|
For an up-to-date overview on how to compile ScummVM for various
|
|
|
|
platforms, please consult our Wiki, in particular this page:
|
|
|
|
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Compiling_ScummVM
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are compiling for Windows, Linux or Mac OS X, you need SDL-1.2.2
|
|
|
|
or newer (older versions may work, but are unsupported), and a supported
|
|
|
|
compiler. Several compilers, including GCC, mingw and recent versions of
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Visual C++ are supported. If you wish to use MP3-compressed CD
|
|
|
|
tracks or .SOU files, you will need to install the MAD library; likewise
|
|
|
|
you will need the appropriate libraries for Ogg Vorbis and FLAC
|
|
|
|
compressed sound. For MPEG2 support, libmpeg2 is required. For
|
|
|
|
compressed save states, zlib is required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some parts of ScummVM, particularly scalers, have highly optimized
|
|
|
|
versions written in assembler. If you wish to use this option, you will
|
|
|
|
need to install nasm assembler (see http://nasm.sf.net). Note, that
|
|
|
|
currently we have only x86 MMX optimized versions, and they will not
|
|
|
|
compile on other processors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Win9x/NT/XP you can define USE_WINDBG and attach WinDbg to browse
|
|
|
|
debug messages (see http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/debugview.shtml).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GCC and MinGW32:
|
|
|
|
* Type "./configure"
|
|
|
|
* Type "make" (or "gmake", or "gnumake", depending on what GNU make is
|
|
|
|
called on your system) and hopefully ScummVM will compile for you.
|
|
|
|

Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0:
|
|
|
|
* Open the workspace file "scummwm.dsw" in the "dists\msvc6" directory.
|
|
|
|
* Enter the path to the needed libraries and includes in
|
|
|
|
"Tools|Options|Directories".
|
|
|
|
* Now it should compile successfully.
|
|
|
|

|
Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0/8.0:
|
|
|
|
* Open the solution file "scummwm.sln" in the "dists\msvc7"
|
|
|
|
respectively "dists\msvc8" directory.
|
|
|
|
* Enter the path to the needed libraries and includes in
|
|
|
|
Tools|Options|Projects|VC++ Directories".
|
|
|
|
* Now it should compile successfully.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Debian GNU/Linux:
|
|
|
|
* Install the packages 'build-essential', 'fakeroot', 'debhelper',
|
|
|
|
and 'libsdl1.2-dev' on your system.
|
|
|
|
* Install any of these packages (optional): 'libvorbis-dev' (for Ogg
|
|
|
|
Vorbis support), 'libasound2-dev' (for ALSA sequencer support),
|
|
|
|
'libmad0-dev' (for MAD MP3 support), 'zlib1g-dev' (for compressed
|
|
|
|
saves support).
|
|
|
|
* Run 'make deb'.
|
|
|
|
* Finally run 'dpkg -i ../scummvm-cvs*deb', and you're done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X:
|
|
|
|
* Make sure you have the developer tools installed.
|
|
|
|
* The SDL developer package for OS X available on the SDL web site is
|
|
|
|
_not_ suitable. Rather, you require a unix-style build of SDL. One
|
|
|
|
way to get that is to install SDL via Fink (http://fink.sf.net).
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you could compile SDL manually from source using its
|
|
|
|
unix build system (configure && make).
|
|
|
|
* Type "./configure" in the ScummVM directory.
|
|
|
|
* You can now type 'make' to create a command line binary.
|
|
|
|
* To get a version you can run from Finder, type 'make bundle' which
|
|
|
|
will create ScummVM.app (this only works out of the box if you
|
|
|
|
installed SDL into /sw (as happens if you are using Fink). If you
|
|
|
|
have installed SDL in another way, you will have to edit ports.mk).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AmigaOS 4 (Cross-compiling with Cygwin):
|
|
|
|
* Make sure that you have SDL installed, you may also need
|
|
|
|
libogg, libvorbis, libvorbisfile, zlib, libmad.
|
|
|
|
* Type ./configure --host=ppc-amigaos
|
|
|
|
* If you got an error about sdl-config, use --with-sdl-prefix
|
|
|
|
parameter to set the path.
|
|
|
|
* Check 'config.mk' file and if everything seems to be fine:
|
|
|
|
* Run 'make'.
|
|
|
|
* Cross-compiling with Linux may be as easy.

|
|
|
* Install libmad, Tremor, FLAC, libmpeg2 from source
|
2009-02-27 05:22:16 +00:00
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
patch -p1 < backends/platform/maemo/scummvm-0.11.0-maemo.patch
|
