Re: Nostalgia for adventure games

The wiki has a more extensive list of free and non-free games supported by ScummVM and where they are available: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Where_to_get_the_games Beneath a Steel Sky is indeed worth playing. From the same creators, but not free, the Broken Sword games are also very goo...

Re: Disabling text-to-speech

I have added an option for the game to disable TTS, and it is actually disabled by default (to be consistent with other games where we have such an option). This option will be present in daily builds from tomorrow, and in the next ScummVM release. Note: TTS support for the Manor of Mortevielle was ...

Re: Audio completely muted on iPadOS (App Store Version)

Did you maybe turn on silent mode on your iPhone and iPad? As per the Apple's guidelines , ScummVM does not output audio when the device is in silent mode, unless your are using headphones. And I verified that this is consistent with all the game applications I have on my device and that are also si...

Re: Plumbers don't wear ties (3DO) doesn't run properly

I also don't understand what you mean by "there is no need to run some emulators". This is the 3DO version that is supported in ScummVM according to your compatibility page. I think that was a reply to "the emulator isn't respecting my in-game choices" in your first post. It is ...

Re: Is there an option to disable in-game achievements in ScummVM 2.8.1?

We use OSystem::displayMessageOnOSD() in the AchievementManager to show the achievement. How it gets shown exactly might depend on the platform. But I don't see any option currently to disable this. Maybe we could have an option to not show the achievement notifications. And we could indeed also add...

Re: SSE, AVX and ARM NEON ... and Altivec?

That would be possible, and we did discuss about it. It is even included in the list of instruction sets and detected for SDL backends: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/2f34975164ea1353b6c2e05eec30a7696bf9b364/backends/platform/sdl/sdl.cpp#L186 However it was not a priority and there was no t...

Re: Sanitarium listed under "unknown year" when sorted by year

Thank you. We had all those data in our spreadhsheet, but there was an inconsistency with the gameid that resulted in the data not being associated to the game in ScummVM.

Re: Update cycle?

Currently the game detection data is hardcoded into the ScummVM source code. So updates can only be deployed by making new ScummVM releases. However there are discussions within the team to move the game detection data to separate data files. This will help some ports for which the ScummVM executabl...

Re: Can't start games due to save game path...

The SAVE_FOLDER_PREFIX in the AGS engine, which is equal to "/saves/", is used to indicate that the file should be created in the save folder. So in ScummVM we use the save path defined in the Global Option (in the "Paths" tab). The error you get is from the AGS engine and indica...

Re: Phantasmagoria 2 - flashing screen problem

I suspect the flashing happens when switching between different graphics modes, for example if videos sequences and game screens use a different resolution. So not all FMV games would be impacted, and some non/FMV games (such as Dreamweb) would be impacted as well.

Re: Options for playing on iPad?

There are several ways to transfer the files to the ScummVM folder on the iPad: Plug the iPad to your computer and use the Finder on macOS or iTunes on Windows to transfer the files. Download the files on your iPad (for example from iCloud) and use the Files application to move the files to the Scum...

Re: Issues adding Sanitarium and broken sword 1

For Broken Sword 1 and 2 we made the detection more strict to help with the validation of the game data files. This means that the folder structure of the files on the disk should match how they are organized on the original CDs or distributions from online stores (such as GOG or Steam). So you migh...

Re: Mac OS X Intel x64 latest stable daily build says it's damaged.

I can confirm the issue. It seems that there is an issue with the code signing of the Sparkle bundle included in the ScummVM application (to manage updates). We recently migrated to using Sparkle 2, so this is probably related. But we will need to investigate further why signing the new bundle seems...
