ScummVM 0.10.0

Latest stable version of ScummVM is 0.11.0 (0.12.0svn daily build is the latest "unstable") - you might get better results with one of them.

Assuming you run ScummVM under windows, there's a FAQ entry telling you how to get a meaningful error message:

http://www.scummvm.org/faq.php#id2551089 (FAQ 5.6)

Hmmm! I don´t get it.

Here are error-log:

There´s no file called 'kyra1.*' ??

kyra1 is the name of the game engine, not of an individual file

Which version of kyra1 do you have? Apparently it does not recognize the files gemcut.emc and bead.cps

I have to say: Thanks for your help.

I get it. It was my fault. I choose german. But the game is english - maybe there is anybody out there who is able to send me the german speech-data? Please!

No way - game is copyrighted, requesting game data is bad

Don't you have german data on your CD? (Mine came in English/German/French if I remember correctly)

Oh sorry - I have the CD and I thought a part of the Kyra is okay - when you got a original. Don´t want to create trouble

I don´t know wich version I got. Theres nothing left on the CD or the packing?

I tried to play the game in another language. No other language is working

Oops, I promised too much - just checked my german CD again (some PC Action coverdisk) and it only contains the german version. Must have mixed it up with Hand of Fate, which came in more than one language.

So I won´t get a german version of this game, I guess. *heul*

Well the original Kyra1 CD release contains English, French and German. Should be in the sub folders ENG/1 for English, FRE/1 for French and GER/1 for German.

That doesn't look like a CD version though, usually a real CD version (CD as in talkie, since the original CD release at least was a talkie version) doesn't include any file "gemcut.emc". I would be interested where you got that version from? And what language it is.

So did LoK, actually. At least the one I have.

And what language it is.

He seems to be confused whether it is German or English. Or at least it seems that it's English, but he set the settings as German in the in-ScummVM game setup. That's what I understood anyway.

@LordHoto: There´s no subfolder on the CD (??)

A friend of me gave the CD just because he don´t like this kind of games anymore. 'It´s time to look foward, not back' he said to me. So he left to me dott, Monkey 1, rent a hero, sam and max and grim fandango. (all CD version)

@Noelemahc: Yeah, you right. I´m a bit confused. I can´t change the language. I tried all possible language - Kyra always crash down. Only the english version works.

I hope you understand my problem. The speech isn´t important. Subtiles should be in german.

thefranz, could you post the whole directory structure of the CD then? It would be easier to identify that way.
