[00:24] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> I am currently testing it with the most up to date version (May 24, 2025)
[00:24] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> The other one was on my old system (which also ran Windows 11)
[00:25] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> The path currently for the ScummVM executable is C:/Program Files/ScummVM
[00:25] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> The roms are in a folder in that path, named mt32-roms
[00:26] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> And yes, I have tried putting them into a folder like they are now, and just putting the files in the directory for the executable, that didn't work either
[00:27] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> I am currently testing it with the most up to date version (May 24, 2025)
[00:27] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> The other one was on my old system (which also ran Windows 11), and worked through the updates until I had it replaced (was using ScummVM on it since about 2021) (edited)
[00:27] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> Sorry for the delay in responding

[08:33] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> That won't work. In your older setup you may have set this folder to be in the *extras* path from the game specific or global settings, and ScummVM would then be able find them there and use them.
[08:33] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> And you can do this in your new setup too, of course, ie. set the Extras path.
[08:33] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> Otherwise, it seems ScummVM should pick up files that exist directly within the current folder (ie. the "Start in" folder of a shortcut, which is not necessarily where the ScummVM executable resides, but for the typical ScummVM installation it would be the same folder), or files that exist directly within the root folder of the target game.
[10:45] --> gsi_ joined #scummvm.
[10:48] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> Hmm, that's the thing - I have set the extras path as the ROM folder for the MT32 Items, but I still get the same error. I did this for global settings and for the game itself.
[10:48] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> Idk if maybe my settings are the issue? I am sending some screenshots

[11:26] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> The first two screenshots look odd to me. Which game are you testing with?
[11:26] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> Also, I believe "MT-32 Synth Emulator [Windows MIDI]" is different than "MT-32 emulator". I don't have the first option on mine.
[11:29] <grogbot> [discord] <antoniou79> And, what is your setting under Global -> MT-32?
[11:46] --> ldevulder joined #scummvm.
[12:28] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> it seems to me that @dawn_warrior_from_lix is running an external Munt, not our internal implementation
[12:28] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> so, that "Can't find" message is coming from that, not from the ScummVM

[13:53] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> I am testing with King's Quest V
[13:53] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> Hmm, I only see the Synth Emulator for it, I am not sure why

[13:54] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> Hmm, I did have that installed
[13:54] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> As I used it on my old system, but I have now uninstalled it
[13:54] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> Now I see this

[14:43] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> Okay - due to some configuring, I think I got it fixed
[14:44] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> I removed the game and re-added it, seems Mt32 only likes the CD DOS version of KQV
[14:44] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> The CD Windows version was what I was using before
[14:44] <grogbot> [discord] <dawn_warrior_from_lix> And it seems it isn't compatible with it

[18:10] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> there is no work on the engine, so no
[18:10] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> but we already have extractor, are you aware of it?

[18:36] <grogbot> [discord] <bmsbotje> There's a build target for it so you should be able to `make extract_mohawk.exe`
[18:37] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> download the precompiled tools package
[18:40] <grogbot> [discord] <pclad2> From yoursite? It's being slow.
[18:40] <-- sev left irc: Quit: This computer has gone to sleep
[18:40] <grogbot> [discord] <pclad2> I am downloading it and it says network issue.
[18:56] <grogbot> [discord] <pclad2> Using the tools program right now.
[18:57] <grogbot> [discord] <pclad2> I am trying to extract the assets of Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego and there is no extract mohawk option.

[21:27] <grogbot> [discord] <tommcewan.> I'm curious; what sort of project are you working on, if I may ask? You seem quite keen to extract media files from a variety of different games.
[21:29] <grogbot> [discord] <pclad2> I used to extract stuff for the VG Resource. But their rips are low quality at times and not proper. Besides, some people find that site illegal.
[21:33] <grogbot> [discord] <tommcewan.> I see. Well, to put it politely, we don't really do that sort of thing here.
