2xSai working first time, not second?

[PotajiTo]

Hi, first I want to say thanks do the devs of scummvm specially the pocket pc ones, I just love it
Enough of that
My problem is that 2xsai isn't working, not any of the other options, the odd thing is that it worked the first time (quite well, not a single slow down), I closed scummvm reopened again and I cant play the game that played with 2xsai, It crash to desktop, I can only play in original (too small) and 2x.
This is in an hx4700.
PS: Have you tried Simon 1 with this hardware? Playing it without reescale runs ok, but with 2x is just too slow. Can O do something, or just wait for a new scummvm version?
Thanks!

Sounds like a bug, please use the bug tracker and also include which game you're trying to start.

Noted. You can try lowering the sound thread priority: Locate the [simon1] section in scummvm.ini and enter the following line (instructions also in Readme-WinCE.txt):

Code: Select all

sound_thread_priority=0

This should result in faster gfx but perhaps choppy sound.

Must be a bug, I couldn't play any scumm game (tried Indy 3,4 and the dig) then I installed again simon 1 to try the ini thing (btw, no difference at all, but thanks) and it worked with 2x and 2xsai, then I tried the scumm games with 2xsai and they are working. Weird thing.

Ok, I now know why it happened, it happens if you soft reset the ppc while on scummvm. I had to, cos I was stuck in a fight in FT that I couldn't win and the icon to bring up the menu wasn't working (feature or bug? Other icons like stop music worked). To solve it I had to enter simon (or any other non scumm game, it works too with BOSS) in 2xsal mode.
BTW: I changed the theme to "classic" and it worked, now i want to use "modern" again, but when I do it scummvm crash and remains classic once started again.
Should I report anything of the above?
Thanks

Noone can guarantee what happens if you soft-reset out of the game. To properly exit from the situation you describe in FT, you can bind and use the 'Multi-function' key (consult the port's readme). Also to properly exit from any game at any time, bind and use the 'quit' action (also consult the readme).

The classic<->modern theme might be a bug, perhaps you can file abug report so I don't forget to check it out.
