* Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders
-3.2) Day of the Tentacle notes:
----- --------------------------
-
-At one point in the game, you come across a computer that allows you
-to play the original Maniac Mansion as an easter egg. ScummVM supports
-this, with a few caveats:
-
-ScummVM will scan your configuration file for a game that's in a
-'Maniac' sub-folder of your Day of the Tentacle folder. If you've
-copied the data files from the CD version, this should already be the
-case but you have to add the game to ScummVM as well.
+3.2) Datafiles:
+---- ----------
+For a comprehensive list of required Datafiles for supported games
+visit:
-To return to Day of the Tentacle, press F5 and select "Return to
-Launcher".
+ <http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles>
-This means that you could in theory use any game as the easter egg.
-Indeed, there is a "secret" configuration setting, "easter_egg", to
-override the ID of the game to run. Be aware, though, that not all
-games support returning to the launcher, and setting it up to use Day
-of the Tentacle itself as the easter egg game is not recommended.
+3.3) Multi-CD games notes:
+---- ---------------------
+In general, ScummVM does not deal very well with Multi-CD games. This is
+because ScummVM assumes everything about a game can be found in one
+directory. Even if ScummVM does make some provisions for asking the user
+to change CD, the original game executables usually installed a small
+number of files to the hard disk. Unless these files can be found on all
+the CDs, ScummVM will be in trouble.
-3.3) Commodore64 games notes:
----- ------------------------
-Both Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken run but Maniac Mansion is not yet
-playable. Simply name the D64 disks "maniac1.d64" and "maniac2.d64"
-respectively "zak1.d64" and "zak2.d64", then ScummVM should be able to
-automatically detect the game if you point it at the right directory.
+Fortunately, ScummVM has no problems running the games entirely from
+hard disk, if you create a directory with the correct combination of
+files. Usually, when a file appears on more than one CD you can pick
+either of them.
-Alternatively, you can use 'extract_mm_c64' from the tools package to
-extract the data files. But then the game will not be properly
-autodetected by ScummVM, and you must make sure that the platform is set
-to Commodore64. We recommend using the much simpler approach described
-in the previous paragraph.
+3.4) Known Problems:
+---- ---------------
+This release has the following known problems. There is no need to
+report them, although patches to fix them are welcome. If you discover a
+bug that is not listed here, nor in the compatibility list on the web
+site, please see the section on reporting bugs.
-3.4) Maniac Mansion NES notes:
----- -------------------------
-Supported versions are English GB (E), French (F), German (G), Italian (I),
-Swedish (SW) and English US (U). ScummVM requires just the PRG section
-to run and not the whole ROM.
+ CD Audio Games:
+ - When playing games that use CD Audio (FM-TOWNS games, Loom CD, etc)
+ users of Microsoft Windows 2000/XP may experience random crashes.
+ This is due to a long-standing Windows bug, resulting in corrupt
+ game files being read from the CD. Please copy the game data to
+ your hard disk to avoid this.
-In order to get the game working, you will have to strip out the first
-16 bytes from the ROM you are trying to work with. Any hex editor will
-work as long as you are able to copy/paste. After you open the ROM with
-the hex editor, copy everything from the second row (17th byte) to the
-end. After you do this, paste it to a new hex file. Name the new file
-"Maniac Mansion (XX).prg" while XX stands for the version you are
-working with (E, F, G, I, SW, or U). The final size should be exactly
-262144 bytes.
+ FM-TOWNS versions:
+ - The Kanji versions require the FM-TOWNS Font ROM.
-If you add the game manually make sure that the platform is set to NES.
+ Loom:
+ - Turning off the subtitles via the config file does not work reliably
+ as the Loom scripts automatically turn them on again.
+ - MIDI support in the EGA version requires the Roland update from
+ LucasArts.
+ - The PC-Engine Kanji version requires the system card rom.
-Most common mistakes which prevents the game from running:
+ The Secret of Monkey Island:
+ - MIDI support in the EGA version requires the Roland update from
+ LucasArts.
- * Bad file
- * ROM extracted with the 0.7.0 tools
- * You try to feed ScummVM with the FULL ROM and not just the PRG
- section.
+ Beneath a Steel Sky:
+ - Amiga versions aren't supported.
+ - Floppy demos aren't supported.
+ - Not a bug: CD version is missing speech for some dialogs, this is
+ normal.
-It is also possible to extract the separate LFL files from the PRG
-section. To do so use the 'extract_mm_nes' utility from the tools
-package.
+ Elvira - Mistress of the Dark:
+ - No music in the Atari ST version.
+ Elvira II - The Jaws of Cerberus
+ - No music in the Atari ST version.
+ - No sound effects in the PC version.
+ - Palette issues in the Atari ST version.
-3.5) Macintosh games notes:
----- ----------------------
-All LucasArts SCUMM based adventures, except COMI, also exist in versions
-for the Macintosh. ScummVM can use most (all?) of them, however, in some
-cases some additional work is required. First off, if you are not using
-a Macintosh for this, accessing the CD/floppy data might be tricky. The
-reason for this is that the mac uses a special disk format called HFS
-which other systems usually do not support. However, there are various
-free tools which allow reading such HFS volumes. For example
-"HFVExplorer" for Windows and "hfsutils" for Linux and other Unix-like
-operating systems.
+ Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb:
+ - Amiga versions aren't supported.
-Most of the newer games on the Macintosh shipped with only a single data
-file (note that in some cases this data file was made invisible, so you
-may need extra tools in order to copy it). ScummVM is able to directly
-use such a data file; simply point ScummVM at the directory containing
-it, and it should work (just like with every other supported game).
+ Lure of the Temptress:
+ - No Roland MT-32 support.
+ - Sound support is incomplete and doesn't sound like original.
-We also provide a tool called 'extract_scumm_mac' in the tools package
-to extract the data from these data files, but this is neither required
-nor recommended.
+ Simon the Sorcerer 1:
+ - Subtitles aren't available in the English and German CD versions
+ as they are missing the majority of subtitles.
-For further information on copying Macintosh game files to your hard
-disk see:
+ Simon the Sorcerer 2:
+ - Combined speech and subtitles will often cause speech to be
+ cut off early, this is a limitation of the original game.
+ - Only default language (English) of data files is supported
+ in Amiga and Macintosh versions.
- http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/HOWTO-Mac_Games
+ Simon the Sorcerer's Puzzle Pack:
+ - No support for displaying, entering, loading or saving high scores.
+ - No support for displaying names of items, when hovering over them
+ in Swampy Adventures.
+ The Feeble Files:
+ - Subtitles are often incomplete, they were always disabled in the
+ original game.
-3.6) Multi-CD games notes:
----- ---------------------
-In general, ScummVM does not deal very well with Multi-CD games. This is
-because ScummVM assumes everything about a game can be found in one
-directory. Even if ScummVM does make some provisions for asking the user
-to change CD, the original game executables usually installed a small
-number of files to the hard disk. Unless these files can be found on all
-the CDs, ScummVM will be in trouble.
+ The Legend of Kyrandia:
+ - No music or sound effects in the Macintosh floppy versions.
+ - Macintosh CD is using included DOS music and sound effects.
-Fortunately, ScummVM has no problems running the games entirely from
-hard disk, if you create a directory with the correct combination of
-files. Usually, when a file appears on more than one CD you can pick
-either of them.
+ Humongous Entertainment games:
+ - Only the original load and save interface can be used.
+ - No support for multiplayer or printing images.
-3.7) The Curse of Monkey Island notes:
----- ---------------------------------
-For this game, you will need the comi.la0, comi.la1 and comi.la2 files.
-The comi.la0 file can be found on either CD, but since they are
-identical it doesn't matter which one of them you use.
+3.5) Beneath a Steel Sky notes:
+---- --------------------------
+Starting with ScummVM 0.8.0 you need the additional 'SKY.CPT' file to
+run Beneath a Steel Sky.
-In addition, you will need to create a "resource" subdirectory
-containing all of the files from -both- "resource" subdirectories on the
-two CDs. Some of the files appear on both CDs, but again they're
-identical.
+This file is available on the 'Downloads' page of the ScummVM website.
+You can place it in either the directory containing the other game data
+files (SKY.DNR, SKY.DSK), in your extrapath, or in the directory where
+your ScummVM executable resides.

+NES:
+Supported versions are English GB (E), French (F), German (G), Italian (I),
+Swedish (SW) and English US (U). ScummVM requires just the PRG section
+to run and not the whole ROM.
+
+In order to get the game working, you will have to strip out the first
+16 bytes from the ROM you are trying to work with. Any hex editor will
+work as long as you are able to copy/paste. After you open the ROM with
+the hex editor, copy everything from the second row (17th byte) to the
+end. After you do this, paste it to a new hex file. Name the new file
+"Maniac Mansion (XX).prg" while XX stands for the version you are
+working with (E, F, G, I, SW, or U). The final size should be exactly
+262144 bytes.
+
+If you add the game manually make sure that the platform is set to NES.
+
+Most common mistakes which prevents the game from running:
+
+ * Bad file
+ * ROM extracted with the 0.7.0 tools
+ * You try to feed ScummVM with the FULL ROM and not just the PRG
+ section.

+Alternatively, you can use 'extract_mm_c64' from the tools package to

+3.26) Macintosh games notes:
+----- ----------------------
+All LucasArts SCUMM based adventures, except COMI, also exist in versions
+for the Macintosh. ScummVM can use most (all?) of them, however, in some
+cases some additional work is required. First off, if you are not using
+a Macintosh for this, accessing the CD/floppy data might be tricky. The
+reason for this is that the mac uses a special disk format called HFS
+which other systems usually do not support. However, there are various
+free tools which allow reading such HFS volumes. For example
+"HFVExplorer" for Windows and "hfsutils" for Linux and other Unix-like
+operating systems.
- Simon the Sorcerer's Puzzle Pack:
- - No support for displaying, entering, loading or saving high scores.
- - No support for displaying names of items, when hovering over them
- in Swampy Adventures.
+Most of the newer games on the Macintosh shipped with only a single data
+file (note that in some cases this data file was made invisible, so you
+may need extra tools in order to copy it). ScummVM is able to directly
+use such a data file; simply point ScummVM at the directory containing
+it, and it should work (just like with every other supported game).
- The Feeble Files:
- - Subtitles are often incomplete, they were always disabled in the
- original game.
+We also provide a tool called 'extract_scumm_mac' in the tools package
+to extract the data from these data files, but this is neither required
+nor recommended.
- The Legend of Kyrandia:
- - No music or sound effects in the Macintosh floppy versions.
- - Macintosh CD is using included DOS music and sound effects.
+For further information on copying Macintosh game files to your hard
+disk see:
- Humongous Entertainment games:
- - Only the original load and save interface can be used.
- - No support for multiplayer or printing images

- * Type "make" (or "gmake", or "gnumake", depending on what GNU make is
- called on your system) and hopefully ScummVM will compile for you.

- "dists\msvc*" directory.
- * Open the resulting solution file.
- * Enter the path to the needed libraries and includes in
- Tools|Options|Projects and Solutions|VC++ Directories".

-
- Mac OS X:
- * Make sure you have the developer tools installed.
- * The SDL developer package for OS X available on the SDL web site is
- _not_ suitable. Rather, you require a unix-style build of SDL. One
- way to get that is to install SDL via Fink (http://fink.sf.net).
- Alternatively you could compile SDL manually from source using its
- unix build system (configure && make).
- * Type "./configure" in the ScummVM directory.
- * You can now type 'make' to create a command line binary.
- * To get a version you can run from Finder, type 'make bundle' which
- will create ScummVM.app (this tries to detect where the static libraries
- are installed, which should work in most cases, but if it doesn't you
- will need to specify this path with --with-staticlib-prefix= when calling
- configure - for example "./configure --with-staticlib-prefix=/Users/foo"
- if the libraries are in /Users/foo/lib).
- * For more information refer to:

- AmigaOS 4 (Cross-compiling with Cygwin):
- * Make sure that you have SDL installed, you may also need
- libogg, libvorbis, libvorbisfile, zlib, libmad.
- * Type ./configure --host=ppc-amigaos
- * If you got an error about sdl-config, use --with-sdl-prefix
- parameter to set the path.
