[05:50] <grogbot> [discord] <mystrw1> Hello, Sir. A brief question for you if I may. Can the standard subtitles patch be applied to the DVD version of Zork Nemesis...? Reading the patch notes, it appears to state that it can't ... but just wanted to verify my understanding if possible. The new widescreen view looks tremendous. Thank you for your efforts on improving the ZVISION engine as well...
[06:35] <grogbot> [discord] <gordonfish.> Hi. I am trying to add the PCjr version of the original King's Quest from 1984, but it does seem to recognize the desk image.

[07:36] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> If you dumped your own copy, it does not justify to send those download links
[07:36] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> If you dumped your own copy, it does not justify sending those download links (edited)
[07:36] <grogbot> [discord] <gordonfish.> It's not pirated. I have original disks, just don't have any way to dump them as I don't have a PCjr - the one that I originally had is long gone.
[07:37] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> Well, and that is a problem
[07:37] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> Often those images are fiddled with
[07:39] <grogbot> [discord] <gordonfish.> What I'd like to know is what ScummVM expects for the PCjr version of KQ1
[07:42] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> Check the detection tables, it will give you file size and checksum

[07:47] <grogbot> [discord] <gordonfish.> Thank you. So it looks like the PCjr version isn't supported at all then.

[12:09] <grogbot> [discord] <tlked> The game in 'Games' seems to be an unknown game variant.
[12:09] <grogbot> [discord] <tlked> Please report the following data to the ScummVM team at https://bugs.scummvm.org/ along with the name of the game you tried to add and its version, language, etc.:
[12:09] <grogbot> [discord] <tlked> Matched game IDs for the glk engine: tads3

[12:09] <grogbot> [discord] <tlked> ```
[12:09] <grogbot> [discord] <tlked> Got this error trying to add a Tads 3 game
[12:13] <grogbot> [discord] <Digitall> That means the game is not in the detection tables. Is it freeware available online somewhere?
[12:23] <grogbot> [discord] <tlked> Yes
[12:23] <grogbot> [discord] <tlked> Do you want links?
[12:24] <grogbot> [discord] <supsuper> a cursory google search reveals they are free but they are also adult, i dunno where that falls under

[13:23] <grogbot> [discord] <somaen> If the adult bit is closer to Larry than to Hentai, then maybe, but thats not what I understand AIF generally to be.

[14:56] <grogbot> [discord] <agustin> It seems that **Riddle of Master Lu** isn't playing any MIDI music? For instance, there should be a tune while you're trying to catch the snake in the first puzzle. Forcing several audio devices doesn't help.
[14:56] <grogbot> [discord] <agustin> I'm testing with the stable download. Planning to replay the whole game, so happy to test with a dev branch.
[15:21] <grogbot> [discord] <robertmegone> I made a little progress with my research in to Scooby Doo Mystery for the Genesis. Im dumping bg and fg layers for all the rooms. Its such a beautiful game.

[15:37] <grogbot> [discord] <Digitall> It is tricky. I have wondered for a while if we should implement parental control / ESRB rating equivalent on games so they default to U(niversal) but we can set 12,15,18,X,NSFW flags on game entry so it could popup a warning on detection about adult themes.
[15:40] <grogbot> [discord] <Digitall> Just hard as very fuzzy, but we could support the original ESRB values and add markers on fangames when we become aware. Not perfect... But it runs risk of bloating the detection tables on AGS, GLK etc. even more:/
[15:42] <grogbot> [discord] <somaen> My thinking if we went down that route, is that we would get that data from mobygames, and have the detection tables simply contain moby id.

[15:50] <grogbot> [discord] <ogarvey> IGDB is quite good for an API too
[15:51] <grogbot> [discord] <ogarvey> https://api-docs.igdb.com/#age-rating for example
[15:51] <grogbot> [discord] <helco> why would we use an API for that single value instead of an enum that is certainly smaller and works offline?

[16:13] <grogbot> [discord] <gordonfish.> Yeah, looks great, with that DOTT aesthetic.
[16:25] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> is there a DOS release as well?
[16:40] <Scummette> [scummvm] meekee7 opened pull request #7187: JANITORIAL: WAGE: resolve signed/unsigned mismatches (master...jan-wage-signed-conflicts) https://is.gd/Lgr8eE
[16:43] <grogbot> [discord] <robertmegone> No, from what I can tell there was only a Sega Genesis release. It seems to have only launched in USA and Brazil too. There are some unofficial translation patches for Spanish and Russian but thats about it.
[16:55] <grogbot> [discord] <tlked> Is scummvm supposed to be an interpreter or title exclusive? I did read it was catered to individual titles to make them run better but not sure which ones exactly. Aside from the nature of the if, I'd imagine devs might want to look at the cause of the error.
[16:56] <grogbot> [discord] <tlked> Also does that mean scummvm devs are against aif
[16:57] <grogbot> [discord] <tlked> Ohh... Is that all? Actually the game failed to run but that was the error I got while adding it, so I thought it was relevant.

[17:19] <grogbot> [discord] <tag2015> I don't think the TADS2/3 subengine was ever declared stable... in fact it's not in the compatibility list, unlike the other GLK subengines https://scummvm.org/compatibility/
[17:37] <grogbot> [discord] <somaen> AIF is generally not in the scope of the project, no.
[17:38] <grogbot> [discord] <somaen> That doesnt necessarily mean that were for or against it, it just means that its not in scope.
[17:39] <grogbot> [discord] <somaen> Because there could be multiple things you could want to pull from that API, like localized titles etc.
[17:40] <grogbot> [discord] <tlked> Got it. I may have misunderstood the purpose of scummvm. The amount of stuff it has, it does not seem to be a collection of multiple interpreters
[17:41] <grogbot> [discord] <somaen> The scope is adventure games and RPGs. AIF/VN is simply not part of that.

[23:07] <grogbot> [discord] <strangerke> I was mentioning it because it shares the same engine... As I'm currently in it... It's easier to fix things when it's fresh in mind
[23:09] <grogbot> [discord] <eientei> Huh, the Illusions Beavis and Butthead golf game uses the same engine as bbdou, but different special opcodes it seems
[23:09] <grogbot> [discord] <agustin> Makes sense
