Controversy

Grrrr.

EDIT: And again, I forgot to add a time limit to this poll. *sigh* If a mod could make it expire in ten days, I would be very grateful.

An easy one.

Oh well. And to think that Broken Sword isn't even a LucasArts game

And some other people use mixed terms in their posts.

Also, I eat little children.

The Seed · 02-21-2005, 02:40 PM

I don't understand the question.

Elton28 · 02-22-2005, 03:24 AM

I have managed ok so far.

Think I will shift BS1 onto my XP machine, now that I know it'll run in ScummVM

AF

ps: besides, the room with my 98 machine in is cold 8-)
pps: Wormy my friend, you should see a doc about that eating children thing

BS1 works fine on XP without ScummVM, as does BS2

Tbh mate, I could not get it to install, no matter what I did. When I ran the install it said there was no room on my chosen drive/partition. Even when I tried to install it to the default directory, it STILL said no room??!!

Theres loads of room I tell ya! LOOOOAAAADDDDSSSSSSS.......ahem....sorry. BS2 however, worked flawlessly.

BS1 install procedure is just ghey tbh...

Wormsie · 02-22-2005, 03:04 PM

Exactly - there's too much room. You have to fill up your hard drive some. I think Revolution's website has more info about this.

Elton28 · 02-22-2005, 03:52 PM

Thx Wormy.

Seems a bit odd though.

I really don't understand this - I replayed both BS games on my XP machine after playing them on my old 98 pc and had no problems?

Jazhara7 · 02-22-2005, 11:28 PM

You also have to remember, that ScummVM supports the "SoldOut" edition of the Broken Sword games. It is not guaranteed that the first editions work properly.

Erwin_Br · 02-27-2005, 01:06 PM

What's the difference between the SoldOut version and the original?

SoldOut is the budget version. I've got that too. Works okay on XP if u put the compatibility on Windows 95 when installing. After that normal compatibility is fine.

Now what is this topic about?

artwking4 · 02-27-2005, 01:27 PM

Maybe I'm missing some piece of information here... but why is this thread entitled "Controversy"? As far as I know, ScummVM is the only emulator that plays SCUMM games. The only good one, at least. This is some kind of trick poll question, right?

That's Deadworm's way of saying: Stop using SCUMM instead of SCUMMVM, you morons!
