Optimal audio settings

I'm interested in figuring out the "best" audio/MIDI settings for all of my old ScummVM games, especially LucasArts and Sierra games. (I recognize that "best" may be somewhat subjective, but I think for most games there are at most two or three candidates for "best," e....

Re: ScummVM 2.5 crashing on startup

I filed a ticket about the mouse getting stuck in fullscreen mode. https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/13075

I also found that switching the graphics mode to SDL Surface fixed the issue for me. Thanks for the tip!

Re: Quest for Glory Cheats?

Let the record show that while I never directly figured this out, I did notice that in QFG3 and QFG4, you don't have to grind any stats if you import a "perfect" character from from the previous game (all of the non-zero stats at maximum). In QFG3, a perfect import generated using the Blaz...

Quest for Glory debug mode?

I enjoy the Quest for Glory games, but I hate grinding my stats. I'm wondering if there's a way to use the ScummVM debug console to adjust my stats. I already know how to cheat in QFG1 EGA (Hero's Quest) and in QFG2, which come with their own built-in cheat/debug systems. http://www.sierrahelp.com/C...

It's available in German, too!

(Hope this isn't a repost... I tried searching for "majusarts" first...)

Re: I hate phpBB

You keep talking about how phpBB "doesn't have any way to see who's replying to whom". Oh yes it does, and very clearly: You can see which persons are replying to which persons only when the replies use quotes, as I am, and as you did. To whom is frin replying? To which post? Are you repl...

Moderatorial: Post removed. Clear violation of forum rule #4. I wonder whether the moderator thought my post was clearly insulting or clearly profane. I guess I did use a scatological term starting with c, but that's not generally regarderd as profane in the USA, and I was using it to refer to phpB...

I hate phpBB

I hate phpBB, and I'm sure I'm not alone. phpBB sucks because it doesn't have any way to see who's replying to whom. In the rest of the wide world, we call that feature "threaded discussion"... but phpBB perverts that nomenclature. What phpBB calls "threads" aren't threads at all...
