Android (HTC MAGIC)

[rackham]

Hello all, two qeustions,

I just downloaded both versions of Beneath a steel sky (cd and floppy) to my htc magic (1.6), included the extra scumm vm package for BASS support for the installed scumm vm. All works fine apart from two issues.

1) I cannot load my saved games, the saved game game starts to load and i hear the music kick in, the exits (and shuts down the vm). Any one else have this problem?

2) The trackball is verrrry slow moving, any way to speed this up?

Thanks for any help, would love to get this working

Do not hold your breath for quick answer since Android port is not yet official. gus seem to be busy with real life.

I just downloaded both versions of Beneath a steel sky (cd and floppy) to my htc magic (1.6), included the extra scumm vm package for BASS support for the installed scumm vm. All works fine apart from two issues.

1) I cannot load my saved games, the saved game game starts to load and i hear the music kick in, the exits (and shuts down the vm). Any one else have this problem?

Nope, never heard of this one... Perhaps one of the files got corrupted during the copy to SD card (or there's a bug somewhere)? I would suggest checking the Android logs to see if ScummVM printed any error messages on its way down - get the Android SDK and run "adb logcat"

2) The trackball is verrrry slow moving, any way to speed this up?

When I tried to implement some mouse acceleration, I found that Android only delivers trackball motion events at a fixed rate, and drops everything faster than that - so it was impossible to track fast "bursts" of movement accurately. I think this may have changed on the Nexus1 (don't know if it is due to software improvements or the CPU is just faster), so there is some hope. In the end I just went with a fixed 2 ScummVM pixels for every trackball motion unit, which lets you click on small things but is annoying for crossing from one side of the screen to the other.

So: I might be able to find some ways to speed this up, but it will take further experimentation and may vary by platform.

Hello, thanks for your replys.

Here is a bit of debug output for the time where the app dies (and a little before) from ddms.

The last line states it received a remoteException...

Any ideas?

Unfortunately, this is from the crash onwards. What we really want is the (ScummVM) messages before this - hoping to see ScummVM printing some sort of error message right before it crashed.
