[15:50] <grogbot> [discord] <ecto> The latest release of Dosbox Staging (https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging) now supports ReelMagic. I haven't tried it though.
[16:04] <grogbot> [discord] <sev> right, here is the relevant code: <https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/blob/main/src/hardware/reelmagic/mpeg_decoder.h>

[17:05] <grogbot> [discord] <eriktorbjorn> It's a shame that version of Return to Zork seems to be pretty rare. I saw it on eBay recently, but the seller wanted several hundred dollars for it. (There's also the Mac MPEG version, but I don't think we support the Mac versions at all.)

[18:18] <grogbot> [discord] <rootfather> What is the main difference of those version? I've never heard of it before
[18:37] <grogbot> [discord] <sev> higher vide quality, and the original was sold together with an ISA card to decode the video
[18:37] --> ny00123_ joined #scummvm.
[18:37] <grogbot> [discord] <rootfather> Uh, nice!
[18:37] <-- ny00123_ left irc: Read error: Connection reset by peer
[18:40] <-- ny00123 left irc: Ping timeout: 264 seconds
[18:56] <grogbot> [discord] <Retrotude> Is anything needed other than the game's files themselves to run that version, or does that build of DOSBox need something from the rare PC card needed for it?
[19:03] <grogbot> [discord] <KidTrunks> I have no education on any of this whatsoever but I saw a post a year ago about using ScummVM to play backyard baseball multiplayer& Now given it was a year ago I have no idea if it still works. But looking for a lot of help here on how thats possible. Thanks!!
[19:05] <grogbot> [discord] <sev> There is a fork that plays these games. We are kind of slowly working on bringing it to the main codebase
[19:05] <grogbot> [discord] <sev> but for the time being, I think, you could join their Discord, because they even have a community there, run online tournaments etc
[19:06] <grogbot> [discord] <KidTrunks> Oh so it is working!? Do you happen to know the discord community name?
[19:06] <grogbot> [discord] <sev> Here is thieir site: <https://backyardsports.online>
[19:07] <grogbot> [discord] <sev> the discord link is on their Setup page: https://discord.gg/cnY6fPpdnw
[19:10] <grogbot> [discord] <KidTrunks> Thanks so much youre the best!!!

[20:37] <grogbot> [discord] <regularJim> I linked a video above that shows off the better video the MPEG version offers. I got it working in DOSbox last night, and its pretty incredible how much the standard release had to cut to make it work. Like, characters that are just static images in the environment, have idle animation now (noticeable with he lighthouse keeper in the video)
[20:37] <grogbot> [discord] <rootfather> This sounds really interesting
[20:40] <grogbot> [discord] <regularJim> Heres the DOSbox fork I used to get the game working. I wont link how to get the game iso, but it was pretty easy
