Support for EGA in Elvira 1+2?

Post by marzipan »

(Not sure whether this needed to be reported as a bug or not, but hey.)


Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark and Elvira 2: The Jaws Of Cerberus included support for EGA graphics via an alternative interpreter named RUNEGA.EXE. Having just tested via ScummVM's latest SVN build, however, the game still loads the graphics in VGA form even after I specify the render mode as EGA. I can only presume none of the team here have been able to test its EGA support to date? =[


The executable utilises the same files as its VGA equivalent, so you could in theory make it work with the versions from the Horror Pack, which I'll assume people are more likely to have in their possession. :)

No, no current plans to support EGA mode in Elvira 1/2.

RUNEGA.EXE isn't included in the Elvira 1 & 2 versions in Elvira's Horror Pack, so not sure if they even have EGA support.
