Discworld II

Horaay! My DW2 discs arrived in the post today from fleaBay, so I hurredly copied the required files to my new ScummVM installation on my Nokia 5800xm only to find the sound and voice in the cutscenes is really choppy and annoying!

Anyone know why and how to fix it?

The 369MHz ARM11 CPU (overclocked to 434MHz in the latest firmware) in the Nokia 5800XM isn't fast enough, sorry. So there isn't really anything you can do about it.

They work fine on a Nokia E52, though, which have a 600MHz CPU. But it also have a smaller screen resolution and no touchscreen.

Bugger. Is there any way to downscale the videos so they will play?

Not that I know of.

the cutscenes aren't all that great anyways

be grateful that the game itself runs fine. there's a WIP compression tool for tinsel, but i don't know if it includes the movie files.

Yeah, normally I wouldn't care, but the sound is really irritating. I'll have a play around, but I'm not wasting a fiver so I'll just play it on the laptop at home if I can't play it on the go.

So this is a straight-out hardware issue and can never be fixed?

donno. maybe the new v40 firmware could have better results. I hear it has better RAM management, so it MIGHT help.

Additional problem in that I'm with Three, and they haven't authorised the v31 update, so I'm stuck with v30 until they get their arses in gear (knowing them, never).
