I own a Huawei ideos x3 aka U8510 which is really low-end hardware: 600MHz ARMv6, 256MB RAM, HVGA screen, android 2.3.5. Even on this slow device the "old" scummvm games like monkey island, broken sword, etc. run very well. I didn't try interactive video like urban runner, but as long as t...

Tap the screen twice and hold after the second tap -- just like you do drag+drop on a notebook's touchpad.

No, I thought the phrase "even though flac is compressed" implied that you place flac quality somewhere between mp3 and uncompressed audio. Apparently this interpretation was wrong, so just ignore what I said in this regard

Also even though flac is compressed [...] flac uses lossless compression and therefore sounds 100% like the original. If flac sounds worse than uncompressed audio for you, you are doing something very wrong. I can hear the difference between flac and mp3 when I rip a ScummVM game with CD Audio. Thi...

MP3 will always be sub-par quality because like it or not, it removes frequencies. Every digital audioformat removes high frequencies, this is a result of finite samplingrate and the nyquist theorem. For CD-Audio the cutoff is somewhere around 19-20kHz, for high quality MP3 it's often at 17-18kHz. ...

ScummVM has builtin soundfont-support via fluidsynth, I suggest you try it.

Do you remember how you managed to make him disappear? In which screen for example, and if you know how to reproduce it. I visited the barn for the first time and talked to the cow. During the conversation flux suddenly disappeared (shadow still visible) and reappeared afterwards. Don't know if thi...

I tried the german version and it seems to work quite well. Problems I found: Flux turned invisible once (I guess this is one of these "minor graphic glitches"). Some Charset Problems: German quotes show as ?...„ instead of „...“ and "Ä" is displayed as "?". Very high C...

You can install Win3.11 in DosBox and it will run german kq7 just fine.

I understand that we are in the new millennium and that HDMI is the next best thing, but I'm pretty sure that VGA is still pretty common I wasn't talking about HDMI in particular,but about digital display connections in general, this includes DVI and DisplayPort. DVI should be quite common these da...

If your Monitor is connected via a digital link ( not VGA) to your graphics card, you may enable aspect-correct scaling in your graphics drivers. At least ati and nvidia offer this setting, i don't know if it's available for crappy intel graphics. Another option is to check your monitor for a builti...

I also copied all the files from the two CDs into one folder which now contains all the files listed here: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles#7th_Guest.2C_The That's the way it should work. Which version of ScummVM do you use? It will not work in 0.12.0, so you need a current SVN snapshot....
