Test me beautiful

[knakos]

Hello,

It's been a while since we had an updated version of scummvm. Well, the wait is over (partly). You can download a new version here *link updated*. It is based on 0.8.2 codebase, so don't expect any new engines in this one.

From my tentative changelog:

• ADDED: POCKETPC: Vertical oversampling scaler 320x200=>320x240 when panel not shown (n0p)
  ADDED: POCKETPC: Right click by double-tapping (n0p)
  FIXED: ALL: Clipping issues in some cases
  ADDED: POCKETPC: Mouse emulation using keys
  ADDED: SMARTPHONES: Virtual keyboard popup
  FIXED: SMARTPHONES: Incorrect screen blit in SDL port (?)
  ADDED: ALL: Mouse cursor visible on panel if using emulated mouse
  ADDED: ALL: Inverse landscape mode

I believe there something for everyone here. Pocket PC QVGA users get n0p's excellent resampler for better full screen experience. Also the mouse cursor can be emulated using keys, useful for ppc's without stylus (eg. gizmondo). And smartphone users finally get the virtual keyboard which can be used to input codes in games (eg. gobliiins) or name their savegames. There has also been some restructuring of cade way down in the core gfx blitting which may eradicate some problems we had with "frozen" pocketscumm on some devices. And all all version except VGA get an inverse landscape option as well.

[EDIT] Some documentation: PPC users get new actions (in the key mapping dialog) for configuring the emulated mouse. Also but tapping the rotate icon you cycle between portrait, landscape and inverse landscape modes. The new scares is activated when the panel is hidden. Smartphone users can map two new actions: virtual keyboard popup and screen rotation. Note that for the time being the keyset is not rotated when you rotate the display. In terms of the ini file, the landscape entry is now an integer (0, 1, 2) instead of boolean (true, false). Also ppc users get a new section [pocketpc] which fine tunes the emulated cursor (just like smartphones).[/EDIT]

So it would be great if I could get some mileage on this baby, and please report any success or failure. All feedback is appreciated.

1. When I try to hide the Scummbar, the Screen is getting resized to Fullscreen, but the Emulator crashes with the following Error:

"ScummVM error. Unrecoverable exception occurred - see crash dump ..."

2. I mapped the left mouse click to the center button of my keypad. When being in Freelook mode, I point with my stylus to an object, but clicking the center button of my keypad does not do anything. Am I doing something wrong to use my keypad as a mouse button?

Sure enough, my last minute VGA fix backfired. Anyway, you can re-download from the same link, I've updated the binary.
Now, there seems to be some race condition regarding the emulated left and right clicks which I will investigate. Mapping left click f.ex. to dpad up works ok.

[Thorsten W. Schmidt]

I tested it again and the oversampling works better now.

Two chrashes with oversampling still remain:

1. If the Scumm keyboard should be shown, the emulator crashes. This happens in Simon 1 when I want to exit the game. There should be the keyboard where I can choose yes (y) or no (n). The keyboard is not displayed, instead of this, Scumm crashes always.

2. The game (Simon1) is started with oversampling. The non-interactive parts are displayed, but when the game should start, Scumm crashes. This it not always, but if it happens deleting scummvm.ini can help (but maybe this is just a coincidence)

OK Thorsten, I'll check out the Simon issues. Thanks.

Hello,

unfortunately there seems to be no Vorbis support ...

kind regards

Frank

OK I believe I've resolved some further clipping issues (simon) and fixed the long standing problem w/ the wince2002 build pertaining tremor (vorbis). You can download the new version by following the link in the first post in this thread.

And in the scummvm testing season spirit, please test this version as much as you can so that we have some idea about the stability of the code.

Hello,

the ogg compressed CD Audio Tracks of Monkey Island 1 are working now, but ogg compressed speech in Sam&Max or DOTT are not working so far for me. They are just not played, no error message.
CoMI throws directly after starting "ERROR: Vorbis library compiled support needed!"

I will have a closer look on it tomorrow (which is in 2 Minutes in fact ). Ok, Ok, tomorrow evening.

kind regards

Frank

Kostas and Arisme,

Thank you very much for the work on this latest version. It makes me very happy to know that I may soon be able to replay my favorite classics on my Smartphone.

I just purchased a Motorola Q WM5 smartphone, and I cannot get the build to run properly (debug info to follow). In fact, I have read the entire "ScummVM on Smartphone" thread and tried every build provided there, unsuccessfully. However, I am able to run the "Unstable CVS head version" from Arisme's Web corner without a crash. (I cannot use this version as the mappings are unsupported, but at least it runs and I can see the cropped menu).

My device runs Windows Mobile 5, version 5.1.70 (build 14523.1.3.0) with an ARM920T PXA27x. At the time I try to run PocketScumm, I have 20MB of RAM available. When I run scummvm.exe, I first get a notice that the file is not signed. Upon proceeding, I get an "Error - Unrecoverable exception occurred - see crash dump in latest \scummvmCrash file."

Here are the contents of the crash dump:

I tried tweaking the scummvm.ini file and made sure to delete it before trying out a new build.

I hope this helps; I can provide more information if necessary. I think the Motorola Q will become a very popular smartphone, so it would be nice to figure out the source of this issue. Let me know if you need me to try anything!

[mikkle]

I'm not sure how I could forget, but an important difference between the Moto Q and other smartphones is that the screen has a horizontal orientation, with a resolution of 320x240.

(The other difference is that IIRC this is the first WM5 Smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard - like a Treo or a Blackberry - although I don't think this would be the cause of the problem.)

Lastly, here is a link to the emulator image for WM5 Smartphone with 320x240 Landscape Screen from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en. This could come in handy to troubleshoot this issue!

[knakos]

I noticed a couple of articles about landscape devices a couple of weeks ago at msdn; ScummVM has not been tested at all for these devices. We must support these devices, as they will become more common in the near future.

I noticed that this has been properly been entered as a bug in our bug tracker ("[ 1501975 ] WINCE: Crash Log for Motorola Q/WM5") so we will get to it.

Thanks,
Kostas

Thanks Kostas, I look forward to your updates!
