[02:48] <grogbot> [discord] <mostechnology6502> isn't this just the demo recorder played back
[03:06] <grogbot> [discord] <alexbevi> I haven't tried it, but apparently you can use ScummVM+libTAS (https://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/ScummVM) already for this purpose
[04:05] <grogbot> [discord] <spiritofstar> hey everyone, i am new to this community(first time interacting) can you guys tell me what exactly is this project reverse engineering?
[04:05] <grogbot> [discord] <spiritofstar> i heard that it was multiple engines
[04:09] <grogbot> [discord] <_plunderscore_> a recent reddit post on r/linuxmint is a decent list of how much was added since the last LTS https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmint/comments/1xm318v/the_engines_and_a_sample_of_games_the_scummvm/
[04:12] <grogbot> [discord] <_plunderscore_> &apart from the fact they're already two versions behind
[04:29] <grogbot> [discord] <valdaquende> I have a question about compatibility. When I first installed ScummVM and navigated the ScummVM site, I didn't inderstand the difference between the compatibility page and the game page ... and maybe I still don't. I created game files for Obsidian for Mac and everything went fine. I can play the game ... and thanks, by the way to all the folks who work on making games run in ScummVM. Then I did the same thing with "Schizm: Myster
[04:38] <grogbot> [discord] <exmensa> Feels to me like there should be more specific wording on the website re: supported host platforms vs. supported game versions, I think this was the same thing being talked around a couple days ago
[04:39] <grogbot> [discord] <tropp2176> "Supported Platforms" -> "Supported Original Release Platforms"
[04:40] <grogbot> [discord] <tropp2176> "Supported Platforms" means something like "Supported Original Release Platforms" (edited)
[04:51] <grogbot> [discord] <valdaquende> OK, so at least in some cases ity will play cross platform. When I tried witj Zork:Nemesis, it didn't work; said it was not supported. Just trying to figure out the parameters here.
[04:52] <grogbot> [discord] <valdaquende> I'd like. bit more specificity too; I'm game to try about anything but ...
[05:01] <grogbot> [discord] <tropp2176> Check the Wiki for info on required files https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Zork_Nemesis
[05:04] <grogbot> [discord] <valdaquende> I did in both cases. I'll do Zork again from scratch. Both "Schizm: Mysterious Jorney: and "Zork:Nemesis" are shown as Windows platform specific. Schizm runs; Zork does not. I'm game to ry again just in case.
[05:06] <grogbot> [discord] <tropp2176> The Mac release may be unimplemented, in case that's the one you're trying.
[05:07] <grogbot> [discord] <valdaquende> I think that's the deal .
[05:08] <grogbot> [discord] <valdaquende> Thanks. folks, for chipping in. Appreciate it.
[05:11] <grogbot> [discord] <valdaquende> With regard to Zork, Tropp, I scupulously followed the directions; I will try, again, from scratch. Again, thanks!
