Aha ! !

now it seems it's only meant for G3 imacs

- 'cause it works on my G3 machine 500 MHz PPC 10.3.9. too ...
At least so far that it starts and launches BS 1 - more i don't know yet ....

I find it funny that more people are concerned about compiling and running SVN builds simply for Tinsel than testing the upcoming release.

And no - that is not veiled criticism or anything - just recognition of what a big deal this is to scummvm followers.

Well, yes, they do, because they care more about Discworld than the games currently needed to be tested. No one can blame them, and what they do doesn't go to waste, because by testing SVN versions with Tinsel they're already doing some work for the 0.13 release.

Well, I have not counted how many people are testing .... and would not call myself a 'scummVM - follower.
I'm just a simple, innocent Mac-user

who has not found an functioning SVN build here since May 24th.
So testing is out of question for me ...

Actually, using an in-dev version and reporting the problems you may encounter here is kinda doing tests.

ok, I will continue testing . . . . .

Is it compiled to powerpc cpu's? It runs MUCH slower than the official version, as if it were using rosetta.

Hmm... what happens, exactly? You click on the icon, but nothing appears? Could you open the Console (under Accessories somewhere) and see if any error messages appear?

It's an universal binary, and compiled exactly the same way as the official version (I compile both

). The only difference is that this one is compiled on 10.5 (using the 10.4 SDK), whereas ScummVM 0.11 was compiled directly on 10.4.

What is slow, exactly? Specific games? What kind of machine are you running on?

Starting scummvm is much slower than starting the official version (10 times slower) and it taxes the cpu much more doing the same.

Vinterstum wrote: Specific games?

Monkey Island 1 and 2, Indy atlantis, and others. It's slow even in the game select menu.

I guess this thread is totally inappropriate for this

.

Could you please send me a PM with your OS version, and also hit Apple-I with ScummVM.app selected and make sure it's listed as an Universal binary, and that "Run with Rosetta" is not selected?

It works fine now, so i don't know what was happening then.

The thing is discworld doesn't work. I try to add it and it says "scummvm could not find any game in the specified directory".

My folder is full of .gra files and some others, so i don't know what's wrong, because that same directory is a direct copy of my old pc which played discworld fine.
