Fate of Atlantis with speech on N95

Post by drijf004 »

Help, i can't get the "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (with speech)" game working on my Nokia N95. When i start it the screen just goes black without doing anything, then ScummVM closes. The same game does run on the windows version!

If I try the game without speech i works perfectly (different version)

Could anybody help me fix it?

BTW: I couldnt get monkey3 to work either, but i guess thats normal...

It Works!

If you just put your phone down and wait for a long time (4minutes) it will start with speech enabled! woohoo

Are long initial loading times like these normal? If so, what causes them? Audio being compressed with mp3/ogg?

Filehandling can be very very slow on flash file systems and ogg/mp3 are often reading stuff in very small chunks. When I am using cd music for MK1 for example, my MP3s are encoded in 40 kbps. So the smaller files/lower bitrates you have, the faster loading you will have.

Sure it is. Encode as OGG or Mp3 according to instructions provided, but for the best performance on a mobile platform, please use low bitrates. (<=64kbps) .. Its good enough for a mobile speaker

I now have all music from the CD soundtrack as MP3. Now how do I get the game to use the MP3's as music and not the usual stuff?

there shouldn't be original files, its either cd audio, or audio file... if you have this then i suggest you use the game data from the cd audio version, then as long as its named 01.mp3 02.mp3 ect it should work, i think. ive never used cd audio for scummvm

Are we still talking about Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis? If so, there's no way to replace the music.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info :) I wonder if things would go faster if one used one of the newer SDHC flash cards as they are formatted with fat32 instead of fat16.

SDHC won't work in most phones as far as i know, and you can format non-SDHC cards with fat32 as well...
