Elvira Mistress of the Dark AMIGA FX sounds buggy

Post by Retro Still Alive »

Hello,

Does an option exists to slowdown Scummvm ? The Amiga version of Elvira Mistress of the Dark has bad FX sounds. For example, the wolf in the intro and all FX when a guard is screaming on a fight are too fast and aigue. Think games aren't at 50 or 60hz.

If the option doesn't exists, it would be very nice to include it on a future release for Amiga games ;)

Thanks,

ScummVM does not emulate a computer (it is not an emulator), so it does not, and cannot have an option to be slowed down.

Also you seem to mix up screen refresh rate (typically 50Hz or 60Hz) with CPU clock rate (for example ~7MHz for the Motorola 68000 found in the Amiga 1000), and with audio sample rate (usually~11kHz, ~22kHz, ~44kHz, or 48kHz).

What you describes sounds like it could be a bug in the ScummVM engine for the Eliva games playing some sounds with an incorrect audio sample rate. In that case creating a bug report on https://bugs.scummvm.org/ would be nice so that developers gets notified of the issue and have a look when they have time.
