Sound issues

Post by acolite246 »

Hi
I installed the iPhone port of ScummVM with no difficulty, and transfered the required games to the folder I wanted, and everything is running.

When I run Sam & Max: Hit the Road or Day of the Tentacle, I get music occasionally and speech only works in the first scenes. I think it has to do with the file types, but I am not sure.

DOTT is floppy
and SMNMX is CD.

Subtitles work if that is of any value.

Getting speech only in the intro is normal for the floppy version of a game. I don't know anything about the iPhone, so I couldn't even guess about the other problems, though.

The sound works on the computer.

Can you give us a list of the game's data files, together with their sizes?

I don't have the floppy versions myself so I don't know about your Day of the Tentacle. For Sam and Max 22.7 MB sounds too large for a floppy game, but it's definitely too small for a CD version. Perhaps the file got truncated when you copied it to your iPhone?

The MONSTER.SOU for the English CD version of Day of the Tentacle is 257 MB, and for Sam and Max it's 175 MB.

Oh.

It must have timed out or something.

Thanks

EDIT: Okay. Right now I am updating Sam and Max, which had gotten cut off during the transfer.. I have just tested the DOTT game on my PC and, just like the iPhone, it has no sound because it is a floppy DOTT. Thanks for your help!
