DREAMM 3.0 beta testing now

[EPC]

in theory, the debug mode for Grim Fandango is related to the REG variable good times

should be true for being in debug mode

THe bug is that it is correctly put to false, still we have the debug mode

Does it also works with the CD version of Secret of Monkey Island ?

Right now, no, there's no support for that. In theory it could be added, would need to think on it, because there's not necessarily any standard. Where does SCUMMVM place the OGG file and what's it called?

Both Simpilfied and Traditional Chinese version of EMI doesn't work.

If you can get me access to these versions, I can investigate why they aren't working. Feel free to DM me.

Scummv put everything in the same directory. From Scummv Website. There are many notations, it could be easier to do a cp *.ogg

 

"

1. Place the converted audio files in the same folder that contains the other game datafiles.

   1. track01.ogg - track12.ogg

   2. track1.ogg - track12.ogg

   3. track_01.ogg - track_12.ogg

   4. track_1.ogg - track_12.ogg"

Works great.

That's great! I confirm that Grim Fandango works perfectly now! This is incredible ^_^

[EPC]

The screensaver software  is a nice addition, but I think it is very hard to find.

[EPC]

Another suggestion.

 

When Mame failed to recognize a software, we have information on missing files, bad CRC, etc

 

With dreamm, we have just a small "I failed"

DM sent, but it seems you haven't read it yet, and I'm also adding Japanese Yoda Stories and Screen Entertainment.

It's hard to find extracted, but now that the installer is supported, it should be pretty easy to track down.

Amazing! Got your DM, will try to make these all work soon.

Yeah, it's hard to present this info nicely when you don't have a command line interface like MAME. I agree it would be nicer if it gave you some hints about what is not matching. Maybe I can add a button you can click to drop that info on the clipboard or something.
