Afaik those were hardcoded inside the windows 3.11 interpreter.

you mean in the original EXE? i'm not sure if that's true, because someone once tried "patch" the windows version by using the exe from larry 6 or something and the windows cursors worked fine there, and i doubt they put KQ cursors on lsl exe. or maybe they did, i donno.
anyway, is the new svn on the site already? it seems like the same version is still there. I HAVE MUCH MORE COMPLAINTS AND NITPICKS READY!

That's right. I just checked. It seems they just changed the view game cursors into simple black and white cursors.

It's compiled once per day.
If you want to get up-to-date all the time you will need to get a developer environment and build it yourself.

Is your driver set to AdLib?

Yes. Digital sound effects still take precedence.

As a side note, I do like the way the MT-32 display messages are displayed on screen with the MT-32 emulator.

Try unchecking the "Mixed Adlib/MIDI mode" checkbox in the ScummVM options screen (MIDI tab)

We don't know anyone who has these. If you do, please submit a bug report with the md5.

Will add to the page.

* 1990 EGA
Same as with Dr. Brain/Fairy Tales EGA above.

OmerMor wrote: * 1991 Multimedia CD
* 1992 Multimedia Floppy
Differences? Either way, we have an entry for both SCI1 and SCI1.1.

OmerMor wrote: * 1995 Deluxe CD
That's SCI2.1 and not supported.

Submitted the following bug reports:

3035349 Castle of Dr. Brain EGA
3035350 Mixed-Up Fairy Tales EGA
3035354 Mixed-Up Mother Goose 1990 EGA

The Differences between the 1991 & 1992 mother goose is that 1991 was a talkie version and 1992 was non-talkie version. The md5 checksum of both were recognized by the latest build.

What version does ScummVM say its emulating when you start each of them? Also, I added those three EGA games, thanks!

1991 Talkie: "Emulating SCI version Early SCI1"
1992 Floppy: "Emulating SCI version SCI1.1"
The GUI names both Mixed-Up Mother Goose, but the first is (CD/DOS/English) and the second is (DOS/English)

been playing KQ6 win with the new svn and things seems to be fine. There is something, however, that i may be miss-remembering, but i think that originally, if you've spoken with rotten tomato and the book worm's friend in the inventory, you should see their lips move and not just hear them.
