ScummVM had supported such a feature in the past. Unfortunately, it got broken and thus disabled. It doesn't look like it's going to be fixed soon.

No, Kirben, this is another Czech translation of Simon 1 seemingly made by someone else. This is another variant to add to the detection file.

The bad thing is that Kirben made some modifications to the AGOS engine inside ScummVM so that it only works with games listed in the md5 checksum tree. To solve your problem, you might either enter the md5 data yourself everytime, you make a change to the translation or you use an earlier version l...

They are blocked, because Kirben thinks that subtitles shouldn't be supported when they are not completely available. I was told that when the letter of Calypso is read on the iPhone version, there are no subtitles. The same goes for the Windows version.

That surprises me. As far as I know, they used the Windows version of Simon the Sorcerer data files. However, maybe just someone at Adventure Soft "recompiled" the script files which uses some sort of random mechanism to make file reading harder and thus mixes structures leading to a diffe...

The original games features subtitles during gameplay, but unfortunately not during cutscenes. I had the luck that most of the subtitles we used were included in a ressource file of the game (thought not always in a linear order), although they aren't accessed at all. The ones that weren't there had...

I can only recommend to switch subtitle speed by pressing F1 (fast), F2 (normal) or F3 (slow).

The Scumm sound system seemed indeed to be used for sound effects. It was a clever usage: drums were used for opening and closening doors. In some games however they used real audio (like WAV - mostly CD Audio/FM-Towns versions). Because of fear they could use too much space on the CD(!), they sampl...

This is a mistake in the German localisation which is based on the French one. Unfortunately, they forgot to record these speech segments in German. However, if you can't understand French, you can still activate speech & subtitles or subtitles alone, because the text is fortunately translated.

One of these laws states that symbols against the German constitution are forbidden (e.g. nazi svastikas), unless they are used for arts (which TV is considered, computer games not, because they are considered to be entertaining products only). Also it is forbidden to glorrify the nazi time. I read ...

[quote="BOT7"]this censored german version could even not be finished sometimes![/quote] Sometimes? So it's possible to finsish the German version? I asked already in another topic if it's impossible to finish the game, because Nimdock needs to bring some special items, establish a special...

Really fascinating, ReeceMix. How do you do remove/hide the blinking cursor and lipsync speech? Can you say which software you're using?

Yes, you need to change to English keyboard via System Controls on Windows. I just added a 'keyboard layer' so that I can switch to English keyboard by pressing Alt+Shift.

I have had the same problem. It is a quite strange one: If you have a number of savegames between 16-26, you won't see any savegames on loading screen. As far as I know, this was also so on the saving screen then, but since you mentioned otherwise I'm not sure. Some thing you might try to work aroun...
