Ressurectionxtras And Compatibility Lists, For all major Xbox Emus - Atari, Nintendo, Sega, PCE! Options

[ressurectionx]

Does anybody know how to get the cutscenes working for Broken Sword II in ScummVMx?

Also, I can't get voices to work in the first game, even though I have a "Speech" folder.

Nevermind. Figured it out.

3 tips....

1) flac doesn't work on the Xbox version. Grab the OGG files.

2) speech and any *.clu, *.clv, *.clg files (depending on the compression of the version you're using) all go right in the main rom directory. Do not separate these into "Speech" folders, and move them out of the speech folders if the version you have places them there (as all the versions I tried did).

3) In the "Paths" tab in the emu, choose the directory with your *.dxa & *.ogg files for the "Extras" folder. Then the cut-scenes will work.



I'm betting only the most die-hard ScummVM fans have figured out how to get all these games working. There's been a lot of conversions from flac to ogg going on and just figuring out what is the "best" version to use. So far this is my compatibility list....

BAD GAMES:
Bargon Attack: No version I have seems to work. You can watch the intro, but it will just kick you back out to XBMC.
Future Wars: Copy Protection isn't cracked.
Kings Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella: Copyright Protection
Leisure Suit Larry in The Land of the Lounge Lizards: Not copy protection, but 5 stupid questions you have to answer to verify you're 18. Is there a hacked version without this?
Manhunter 1: New York: Copyright Protection

If anybody knows how to get something working that I couldn't, please let me know.

Thanks,

Bargon & Nippon work. I can tell you more on this this evening.

Please note that both games work on Winuaex and are similar. And i'm certain that password check are properly removed (as usual on amiga).

[ressurectionx]

Hey waal,

Right now I'm only using DOS games, and not the Amiga games for SCUMMVMx.

I've updated my list quite a bit since you looked at it before posting. I've got a lot of games working now and I believe the ones without voices or cutscenes just didn't have them in the first place.


I'm definitely going to need help with Bargon Attack, Future Wars and Nippon Safes Inc though. I will keep trying after I work on the other games first.

Thanks,
~Rx

[ressurectionx]

UPDATE:

All testing for ScummVMx is done, unless waal can get the last few games working that I couldn't.


Support for over 200 PSX games totaling over 130GB has been completed. I will still be working on adding more to this in the next few days.



3D boxart is coming along great. Cbagy and Bigby (and I think some others) are working hard to get these done before release.


All other systems that I am including are 100% finished.


I'm requesting help from people who are involved in the project to test the manuals in the new emus. Any that are blank or kick you back out to the list will be resized to work if I can get help from people to test them while I'm doing other things.



Still need help remaking those 21 SNES vids that could use replacements.

Still waiting on Philo to get the new commercials to me so I can add them before release.





Release for Rx 1.0 is imminent.....

Did you guys make a new interface, or skin for Scumm? The one I have is all green and 80's computer looking

Ok, here's what happened.

Bargon Attack (DOS): Demo works with sound & voices. Reboots to dash when i try to enter a game. I know my version works on PC and on my... DS.

Future Wars (DOS): Works but you have to pass manual protection. Players need to print the boxart picture coz the game is said to be cracked and... isn't in fact. Lame lame lame...

Nippon Safe: Amiga version crashes like any other game that use amiga drive on this port obviously. Leads straight to dash.
But the good news is the DOS version works. I actually played it. Don't know yet if the manual protection was removed, though.

uh well i'm done with this port tonight. Apple II forever (since last weekend).

[nytmar3]

I'll be knocking the 21 SNES videos out tonight. No need for anyone else to worry about those.

[ressurectionx]

Yeah... those are the same results I got pretty much.

I guess I'll put the copyright protected games in there too. Just going to have to make a note that you need to use the passwords to get in. Maybe I can compile a quick list if it's not too difficult. There's only like 4 of them.

The Leisure Suit Larry one is pretty funny though. You have to answer 5 questions to get in the game and it tells you that you're a kid if you don't get them right. Guess they didn't think that 23 years later a lot of these questions might be irrelevant and that if you didn't live in the states and you're not a big fan of Jeopardy that there's probably no way you're getting in to play. I passed the first time, and then reloaded it to see if you had to answer those again, which you did, and I miserably failed.





Thanks for getting those vids done nytmar3.

I remember loading and reloading that game until I'd get all the questions right. I was determined. (Thank god for multiple choice.) Looking back, there are actually some funny questions in the batch-- I'm sure I didn't understand the majority of them back in the pre-teen days--- the creator of the game has them all written out on his site: http://www.allowe.com/Larry/1questions.htm

[Pulsemasta]

RX, did you guys make a new interface for SCUMM?

[ressurectionx]

No... we did not make a new interface, although I'd love to see one. We also need somebody to put in the ability to adjust the screen size since on my TV it cuts off a little from all 4 sides.

The newest version of ScummVMx I'm aware of was from December of 2007. If you find one newer, let me know.

[ressurectionx]

All SNES video remakes are done. Thanks to MM for the first 80 or so and then to nytmar3 for rounding it out with the last 21 vids. They look great guys.







Thanks for that Larry 1 info losgar.

The problem with these questions now is: they're only good at identifying someone over age 41 now!!

LOL... I couldn't have said it better myself.


I will include a document with those answers in them, although there is a keyboard shortcut that you can use to bypass them as well. It's kind of moot though. At first I thought that the shortcut would be no good for people without a keyboard, but then again, people without a keyboard can't play the game anyhow.

[ressurectionx]

nytmar3 has been testing the manuals in 480p with Gilles' Dynamic Skins (which are the most memory intensive skins available). It looks like between NES, SNES and Genesis I will have about 50-75 manuals I need to resize to work. Thankfully nytmar3 will be testing all the other systems as well. I wasn't going to take the time to do this myself, but it's nice that we can now have the same quality control on manuals as we've had everywhere else.

If somebody would be interested in testing the VGMaps in the same way for us, that would be great. There are a lot less VGMaps to test than manuals.



On the PSX front.....

Support for over 250 games now added. I'm going through about 150 more games and will wrap that up in a few days.

I will have to collect all the artwork, videos, gamefaqs, manuals VGMaps and create synopsis entries for all included games.


This probably won't take as long as it sounds. PLEASE help fill in the missing videos as I test so we can have them ready when it's time for release. pCe slayer has volunteered to do this, but anyone else with the games is encouraged to help him out. There will probably be quite a few that still need vids when the testing is done.


Later,
~Rx

[nytmar3]

I'm downloading a bunch of stuff from the FTP right now, I can do VGMaps after I finish up the manuals. So that's one more thing no one else has to worry about.

[ressurectionx]

Thanks buddy.

I'll be looking at your results and fixing the manuals/vgmaps this weekend.
