he thought it was hilarious that it's advertised and not even in the game. That's what I meant by joke. Of course, when the EGA Spiffy was drawn, it was meant to be in the game. But when they realized that things have to be cut due to disk limitations, they didn't bother to actually put that in the...

I think it needs to be done for the game's preservation's sake. More like box art preservation. Someone involved in the game mentioned that the closeup never was in the game, and it was just a joke to the box art. I think it was Ron Gilbert, but I'm not 100% sure. Obviously, that was changed with t...

I don't know, but I'd be terrified of accidentally breaking something that relies on the player actually walking over something, or timing. Implementing an instant switch would be error prone indeed. But what if we just accelerate the game to max speed and keep all things in sync, until the room ch...

If you use a FPGA based retro machine, you're better off playing the games natively. Those cores are made to recreate vintage systems after all. Emulation (which ScummVM does to a degree despite being an interpreter) and vintage CPUs (which the cores provide) aren't a very performant combination for...

If you can run now `git checkout master`, `./configure` and `make`, it will switch to the regular ScummVM, without my changes, and recompile. Then, if you can please verify if the issue persists. Same skin and blue colors are there. It's also the same when compiled from the official source and also...

Have you verified how is it working on `git master`? I'm not exactly sure how git works. I used "git clone https://github.com/ZvikaZ/scummvm" like you instructed earlier, which downloaded the source into a newly created scummvm directory. I changed into it and used "git checkout z_zm...

and it looks well.

I tried that on Linux Mint. For me, it is different than the screenshot, but also some colors don't turn gray. Skin colors and some blue colors remain.

I just noticed, the forum is back: https://forums.mixnmojo.com/

IIrc, you have to drop a crystal in the mail slot to trigger that cut scene. After that, you can switch characters at any time and enter the door with both of them.

The Roland upgrade is only required for the EGA version. If MT32 doesn't work with the VGA floppy, the issue must be somewhere else.

The query should appear in ScummVM in any case, but the correct input is only checked if copy protection is enabled. If it doesn't appear at all, it is a version of the game which doesn't have it. The Amiga Kixx version has the script removed, thus it's not available. In case of the Ultimate Talkie,...

Hi, I get the "Failed to query the CD TOC: 21" message in ScummVM status window when running the game with the original soundtrack. Game seems to be running fine, any idea what that message means? I got no errors while extracting files. That's expected behavior. Some tracks are only prese...

I'm not sure the reason but Track10 is the introduction conversation with the lookout music. I don't know the reason either, but it's the way they are in the SE. I keep having problems where I get the LeChuck theme playing during the conversation with the lookout when I play in ScummVM. It's very i...

No Sure About That, If I Would Play The Original Version Of The Secret Of The Monkey Island Now, It Would Be... It says so in the title, so enhanced CD etc. doesn't count. The Amiga version can play samples only, while the original PC floppy versions can't play samples at all (unless you count an M...

The mouse cursor? (which it runs at 60fps) The cursor was never affected by the scripted frame rate. On C64 and Amiga, it was controlled in a raster interrupt. It could get laggy on slow PCs, though, which didn't use hardware sprites for that. Btw, before SCUMM V7, the scrolling was always in 8 pix...
