Sold-Out/Mastertronic DVD

[iPwnzorz]

A Sold-Out/Mastertronic DVD that comes with ScummVM and both Broken Sword games won't seem to play BS2.

I ran the installer then got rid of everything apart from CLUSTERS and sword2 (and statup.inf, where the problem is) and then re-encoded the Music and Speech using the tools, when trying to run it the console screams at me about a load of unrecognised strings in startup.inf and then plays BS1 instead.

Nevermind - Extra path was set to an empty cutscenes folder.

The startup.inf file should be a text file containing a list of numbers, one on each line. I've heard rumors of it being wrong in some release of the game (though for some reason I thought it was simply missing). It's only used for debugging though, so you should be able to safely remove it.

The file you describe sounds more like a copy of cd.inf, though I could be mistaken about that.

and then plays BS1 instead.

Now that's just plain weird. Even if you had put the data files from both games in the same folder, Broken Sword 1 and 2 use two completely separate game engines. The Broken Sword 1 doesn't read startup.inf and there's absolutely, positively no way the Broken Sword 2 engine can play Broken Sword 1.

The only explanation I can think of is that the "return to launcher" feature has become a sentient being, bent on destroying the entire human race. And I, for one, welcome our new Skynet overlords.

You didn't exchange the entire SVM dev team for LINC did you?!
