Hi punwarrior, thanks for your report. That does sound like very odd behaviour. Unfortunately I've updated to 10.15 now so I can't test the Cider mode anymore (can't run it in a VM either since it requires hardware acceleration). I don't have any guesses as to why it might be happening, sorry. Let m...

I've put together an easy installer for EMI for Macs. EMI Mac Installer (99.8 MB) Currently works only with the Windows English CD set. I could add support for the Mac CD set if requested. It includes all the patches described here , including the higher quality audio (which is why the installer is ...

Also, any chance of a 64-bit build? macOS is expected to drop 32-bit support in the next major release.

I got the Monkey Kombat Chart to work! See first post for RVM patch file and screenshot. I'll get a patch file up for the original game soon...

Okay, try downloading it again. I've added local.m4b instead of patch.m4b this time.

If you follow the link to the dialog fix in the first post, I've added a PC version in there. That is, I *think* it contains the dialog fix but not 100% sure :)

Can I ask how? I see lots of bugs in ResidualVM when playing MI4 and I can get the original game working with the fanmade installer and launcher just fine so I'd rather play that one. It's been a while since I did this but it should be something like this: 1. Use Resource File Creator and Dumper to...

Just to bump this again, looks like the builds for both mac and linux have been stuck since July.

Any idea when we can expect the next official release?

Unfortunately the answer is no. The only observed differences were subtle variations in shading, just as can be seen between the two RVM screenshots (also see post #7 in the other forum). I checked through all the subfolders etc when I was doing this originally and found only duplicate copies of the...

The only reference I have to smoothing groups is a post on the forums here. I've uploaded some screenshots, follow the link to dialog fix in my first post. On the PS2 things appear "bulkier/more rounded", as you mentioned. You can also see the lighting in RVM is different (I'm tempted to s...

EMI on ResidualVM has been steadily improving and though it still has a way to go before all the issues are ironed out, I thought it might be time to revisit an old plan: Putting the improvements from the PS2 version of EMI into the PC version. You can read about my previous (unsuccessful) endeavour...

The also probably used FSAA, since i remember a pretty clean picture overall.

Is ResidualVM capable of using smoothing groups? Could it be done to the PC version?

Ah yes, I suspected as much. What happened was the old version, when running as "native" under 10.6 or earlier, stored its preference file in the same place as the ResidualVM version is trying to store its own preferences. Because the old file already existed there it failed to write the n...

Hi jatenk It's possible those problems are caused by the installation - there may have been some files created by the previous version that are interfering. Try going to your user Library > Application Support > Myst III Exile, and delete everything there except the Saved Games folder. (Remember: to...
