[05:04] <grogbot> [discord] <patrickjfurlong> hi all - i want to play the Amiga coverdisc demo versions of SImon teh Sorceror, Beneath the Steel Sky and Flight of the Amazon Queen for nostalgia reasons - i've got ADF versions of said discs - can I just get SCUMMVM to access the ADFs or would I have to get the files off the ADFs and onto normal files?
[05:04] <grogbot> [discord] <patrickjfurlong> Thanks

[05:33] <grib> @patrickjfurlong Generally speaking, ScummVM only works with normal files, not disk images, so you'll need to pull those files out of the ADF.

[18:17] <grogbot> [discord] <rvanlaar> I thought you worked based on the reverse engineered binary. How come there are bugs then?
[18:17] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> Wha... 😂
[18:18] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> Transcription errors, adaptment of code which was not portable in the binary and wouldn't compile in modern compilers or wouldn't be cross platform
[18:18] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> There are thousands of things which could go wrong
[18:19] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> I can't just copy and paste the disassembly, you know that 🙂
[18:19] <grogbot> [discord] <rvanlaar> Yeah, I know that. Was wondering what was the cause of the bugs.
[18:28] <grogbot> [discord] <rvanlaar> I've seen bugs happen when people were like, I know this and approximated the solution 😉
[18:32] <grogbot> [discord] <rvanlaar> And you were very meticulous. Even figuring out the wax and wane

[19:37] <Scummette> [scummvm] mikrosk opened pull request #6621: BACKENDS: ATARI: Introduce AtariFilesystemNode (master...atarifsnode) https://is.gd/gZVSD3
[20:30] <grogbot> [discord] <athrxx> What an interesting idea. That you can't have bugs if you're working from disasm. Never heard that one before... 😂
[20:42] <-- ldevulder left irc: Ping timeout: 260 seconds
[21:45] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> There's no amount of meticulousness which could prevent me from making mistakes on about 100.000 lines of code from a game disassembly 😉
[21:49] <grogbot> [discord] <supsuper> can't have bugs if you don't have code 🤔
[21:51] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> can't argue with that 😛
[21:53] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> anyhow, even if I had the original code I wouldn't be able to make it work on a x64 target, there's way too much stuff which is either coded in assembly or assuming pointer size at four bytes; this is basically valid for a great chunk of games of the era, so no: bugs are gonna be there, *always*
[22:28] <grogbot> [discord] <dreammaster> And of course there can even be bugs, even with non-assembly original source. One of my favourite memories is from working with the original sources for the Discworld games, and encountering the comment: 🤣
[22:28] <grogbot> [discord] <dreammaster> // Leave this comment in place. The compiled code crashes if you do. Buggered if we figure out why the hell it does it
