Space Quest III
Interesting item. Tested Space Quest III (VGA) and it worked fine on 1.2.0svn51397, but testing the same version with 1.2.053554 I get strange screen artifacts. Doesn't seem to clear the screen on redraw (an example...when first loaded the SIERRA logo appears, when the first game screen appears part of the logo is still showing). Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this or just something in my setup. Running on an HTC Touch Pro 2 windows Mobile 6.5

I've tried the 1.2.0 version on my PocketPc HP iPAQ h2200 running Windows CE 4.2.
I've found two issues:
- Localization: The OS is italian, but the GUI is english.
- When I hide the virtual keyboard strange things happens:
- the game is not scaled to fill the screen;
- a black band appears in the bottom part of the screen
- the lowest part of the game graphics is missing
- strange artifact appears on the screen when the image scrolls left or right
Version 1.1.1 works well.
Game tested: Goblins 3 and Dragon History
TIA

Or it just didn't enable that code, in case the code for normal Windows works too. Or there's some problem with it on WinCE, i.e. like it not returning a proper locale.jvprat wrote:The WinCE backend probably hasn't implemented the language autodetection. You should be able to change it on the "Misc" tab of the Options dialog.andrea2054 wrote:- Localization: The OS is italian, but the GUI is english.

I think the code isn't enabled, because the language option is missing.

Gave it a whirl on a Dell Axim X50 with WM 2003. Day of the Tentacle seems to work fine (though I haven't played it too much with 1.2). Island of Dr. Brain, on the other hand, suffered from a lot of glitchiness with moving the cursor around via the stylus. It almost seemed like touching an area of the screen caused a click, THEN move action on the part of the game. This produced issues with the following puzzles:
Animated Jigsaw Puzzle: Pieces frequently went back into the chest even though the click after was somewhere else (unless they were dragged out of the chest, they almost always went back in)
Spectrum Analyzer Puzzle: This puzzle often won't take the actual solution, it takes quite a bit of effort to make it do so.
(There were a couple others, but I can't remember them offhand)
Later in the game, the calibration seemed to get out of whack (the hand would frequently change into the eye, and changing it back to the hand often led to the mode of the lower bar changing).
Tying in with that, if the lower bar was turned off in either IoDB or DOTT, there would be issues with refreshing the bottom portion of the screen.
This was all done with ScummVM1.exe. Attempting to load the unified binary caused the system to lock up, even with most of the system's 64MB RAM allocated to program execution.
(EDIT)Upon further investigation, it appears the issues with Island of Dr. Brain also affected a couple other SCI games I tried (Pepper's Adventures in Time and Castle of Dr. Brain).

Rotation
Hey,
I'm having big issues with rotation with this release. The mouse sprite appears to be 90 degrees rotated to the mouse tap. This occurs even on the first game selection screen. Very tricky! I'm using a HTC Tytn II P4550 running wm6.1. I have tried adding rotation to the ini file but it rotates both. Any ideas? Cheers, Tudor

I am having the exact same problem. I'm also running an HTC Touch Pro 2 (using an earilier build of WM6.1).greywolf22 wrote:Interesting item.

Re: Space Quest III
Workaround: The refresh problem appears to happen with default or x2. If you use x2 SAI it will refresh normallyRavicai wrote:I am having the exact same problem.

Re: Space Quest III
This issue should be fixed now in the latest stable daily build. Could you please download the latest stable daily build from http://buildbot.scummvm.org/builds.html (on the bottom right) and report back if it works for you, too?Ravicai wrote:Workaround: The refresh problem appears to happen with default or x2.
