beneath a steel sky and kyrandia questions

Post by stika »

i downloaded beneath a steel sky CD version from this website, the file is named "bass-cd-1.2" when i open i get 3 files but i dont get it how do i install on my PC

I also dont know how to put it on my PSP version, (which is the main reason why i am posting here)

Could anyone explain me how to put it on the PSP? and one the PC would be nice too


Last question: i´v been readin the compatiblity list, aparantly Legend of kyrandia 1 is supported but Legend of Kyrandia 2 the hand of faith is not, am i correct?

You put the files in a folder, and point ScummVM to that folder. The process is described in this tutorial. It uses Flight of the Amazon Queen as example game, but other than that there shouldn't be any major differences.

Yes, that's right. Some work has been done on Hand of Fate, but I'm not sure how far it has progressed. It's not playable, at any rate. For Malcolm's Revenge, we have decoders for the music and cutscene videos (others had already reverse-engineered the format, so it was just a small matter of implementing that) and some other animations, but not much else.

I don't have a PSP, so I deliberately ignored that part of the question. :twisted:

so any way, i´v been reading the FAQS it appears you guys are concentrating more on fixing bugs on the games that run and only after you will try to add new games to the library, will that include games like alone in the dark and such?

We've never really been able to pick and choose which games to add support for. It's usually a matter of "what can we get?" and "does it fit into ScummVM?"

My impression of what I've seen of Alone in the Dark is that it's a bit outside the scope of ScummVM, being more of an action adventure and using a 3D engine. There is another project, Free in the Dark, but it appears to be stalled. I don't know how well it work. (It didn't work at all on my old computer. I'm guessing it was using too large textures for my graphics card.)
