Aaron Giles Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 It's been a while since I dropped a fresh beta of my LucasArts/LucasFilm game emulator DREAMM, but today is the day we start for 3.0. Lots of new stuff in this one, with a focus on the remaining DOS games. Have a look! aarongiles.com/dreamm/beta/ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Giles Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 DREAMM 3.0b2 is now available to fix a few key issues from the first beta. First item is particularly important due to shuffling of game IDs: you will want to let DREAMM re-verify your games if you're coming from a 2.x version! https://aarongiles.com/dreamm/beta New in 3.0b2: * Fixed version check so you are once again prompted after upgrading to scan folders * Fixed standalone mode * Fixed black levels in basic and epx OpenGL shaders * Improved preset matching for sound fonts * You can now track new versions via RSS at https://aarongiles.com/dreamm/version.xml 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Giles Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Just released DREAMM 3.0b3: https://aarongiles.com/dreamm/beta New in 3.0b3: * Fixed bug where changes to file dates would not stick sometimes - This can affect updaters, so if you're having trouble upgrading, say, TIE Fighter, you should reinstall the original game then apply the updates and it should work better now * Upsampled digital audio now uses linear interpolation * Expanded joystick support to multiple joysticks, also report fixed values if no joysticks connected * Added support for German Defender of the Empire addon * Added support for Making Magic (Japanese) * Added support for Rebel Assault II Windows version * Added support for Pipe Dream Windows version * Fixed save games in FMTowns versions * Fixed default video mode for Loom CD * Fixed bug where installing Dark Forces would not include INSTALL.EXE, preventing controller config * Fixed wonky CMS music in Secret of Monkey Island * Fixed installation of Star Wars Chess on MacOS/Linux * Fixed crash when changing configuration in-game in some circumstances * Fixed (or at least greatly reduced) incorrect palettes on scene transitions in Full Throttle 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Playing around with this latest version. Very much enjoying the UI improvements and Fixed Mode seems to have stabilised the game experience on my M1 MacBook Pro (although there's still some very minor tearing), so I'm very grateful! Possible bug: In DOTT when you look at the battery the plans the game shows you solution to the copyright check, even though you're actually in the game itself proper and don't need the solution anymore. (Full talkie version -- there's no copyright check anyway.) Edited February 26 by ThunderPeel2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Giles Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 New DREAMM beta available: https://aarongiles.com/dreamm/beta New in 3.0b4: * Fixed many bugs in Pipe Dream Windows, including missing menus, clipping bugs, and other missing features * Added support for Infernal Machine 1.1 updaters (there are two versions) * Disabled non-working video modes in the DOTT English version of Maniac Mansion * Fixed regression in the open/save dialog for Windows games * Fixed regression where files with incorrect names but matching CRC weren't being found by the scanner/verifier * Fixed regression where Windows games were not returning idle time back to the system * Fixed crash when using the mouse wheel while menus were visible on some UI screens * Fixed missing lines in Infernal Machine map * Fixed Jedi Knight/MotS default video mode to be 640x480 instead of 400x300 * Fixed Grim Fandango defaulting to software rendering * Fixed screen position of Rebel Assault II Windows launcher after playing 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightWalker Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I have tried the 3.0b4: and Grim Fandango is still in debug mode and it's almost unplayable by now. If you press some key combinations (Shift + P) Manny jumps over acts of the game and he appears in random places. The game can't be restarted, so if you push that combination of keys, it's impossible to get back and keep playing where you were before the accident. The emulator, by the way, is amazing. It's a DREAMM come true XD. It's great to be able of reliving every old LucasArts gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if that solves the debug issue. Thanks, Aaron. I can't solve the problem even deleting REGISTRY.REG. I don't know if it's only an issue of mine or not. I have even uninstalled the last stable version. I have checked the AppData directory (and the subdirectories named 'Local', 'LocalLow' and 'Roaming') and deleted the 'aarongiles' folder. With everything clean, I have installed DREAMM 3.0b4. Then, the program asked me to search the folder with the games and everything went allright, Grim was installed. But the game keeps being in debug mode. I have push Shift + P and Manny jumps to the end of the game, the Act 4, near the fountain that is like an ashtray. I don't know if I have to delete any other file in any other directory or if it's something that only happens in my computer.

Groggoccino Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I checked it out and I can confirm that I'm also experiencing the whole "debug mode" thing with Grim Fandango in the latest beta version. I found this website, which has some information about the game's debug mode, in case it can be of assistance: https://tcrf.net/Grim_Fandango Edited March 10 by Groggoccino 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPC Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) Hi, thanks for the software If it is helpful, I can tell that I have tried to play the two Jedi Knight in the last beta (and the beta before), and they are stuck on login screen, either the keyboard is not responding (Jedi Knight), or the menu buttons (OK, etc) are not reacting to mouse action (MOTS). Both games work well on dreamm 2.12. Official Gog versions were tried (they installed well). I think both english and french fail. Also they crash Dreamm when trying to back to the Dreamm frontend. All other games I tried for the Win period are working (EMI, Grim). Edited April 1 by EPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 2000, many LucasGames were just developed externally, by Raven or the Collective, or worse console-only games. As a true part of LucasGames portfolio, I would be more enthusiastic to see Secret Weapon of Normandy made by Totally Games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Giles Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 New DREAMM beta is up: https://aarongiles.com/dreamm New in 3.0b7: * Many improvements to GDI support, including proper support for bitmap brushes * Broader font support, including auto-generation of bold/italic fonts * Most SWSE screen savers run fine now, except that Poster Art crashes occasionally * Fixed bad memory leak that led to Windows crashes * Fixed detection of size updates, which should fix Jedi Knight/MotS user interface * Fixed Indy Desktop weirdness 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPC Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I have seen that Jedi Knight can play music in ogg format when run under dreamm. Does it also works with the CD version of Secret of Monkey Island ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPC Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 In fact my SOM CD version has no sound even using Adlib settings ? I also tried to add ogg tracks in the folder without success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Ogg tracks are for ScummVM, with DREAMM you'll need to import the original cd image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
