No speech in Broken Sword 1 in 0.10.0

[fenix]

I was using ScummVM 0.9.1 before which was able to play BS1 with sound speech and music. With 0.10.0 only the sound effects works. I am using exactly the same datafiles.

Did you arrange the files into sub-folders inside the main game data folder? One thing that changed - I think it was between 0.9.x and 0.10.x - is that ScummVM no longer looks inside every sub-folder, only the ones the engine itself specifies. In the case of Broken Sword 1 that's clusters, music, speech and video.

Does that help?

The speech files are located in the SPEECH subfolder under the game data folder. Wouldn't that work?

It should. In fact, it does for me. Does it make any difference if you move the speech files out of the SPEECH folder and into the main data folder? (If so, is it possible that the folder name has some spaces in it, or something like that? Those can be hard to notice.)

Make sure that the "path" variable under section "[sword1]" in your scummvm.ini points to the parent folder (which contains the folder substucture eriktorbjorn suggests). e.g. it should be "path=\Storage Card\scummvm-games\bsword1\" and not "path=\Storage Card\scummvm-games\bsword1\Clusters".

I should, perhaps, clarify that I'm trying this with the Linux version, since I don't have a PocketPC. I'm just assuming it works more or less the same.

Thanks was having this problem in WinCE SCUMM 0.10.0, that fixed it now I have video and speech but I just used the internal edit SCUMM path, there like 2 different cutscene packs does one format use less resources then another as the mp2/ogg stalls a bunch on a 4ooMhz processor would the dxa use less or more resources?

I changed to the DXA video pack and it runs smooth now.
