Rapidly flashing cursor in Scumm engine games

Posted on 2017-09-12, 10:39

in DOSBox Games/Apps

In games such as Monkey Island, Loom, etc the cursor seem to flash very quickly as compared to when played in ScummVM, wherein the cursor seems to pulse at a much more visually appealing pace and smoothness. Is this potentially due to settings in DOSBox, or just inherent of playing these games in …

What I thought was wrong was the resulting aspect ratio of the games with 640x400 graphics. But now I see that, for surfacepp to bring those graphics closer to 4:3, it would require a 3200x2400 full screen area. Yes, except that 3200 x 2400 will give you precisely a 4:3 aspect ratio, whereas 2560 x …

Forgive me if I've missed this somewhere - I've went back through the thread and read each post, but didn't see anything that speaks to this error: http://i.imgur.com/rdqVFF3.png That is because you must run the patch either in DOSBox or using true MS-DOS, not a Windows 64-bit command line.

does he not want to set sample rate of Munt VSTi to 32000 and SCVA to 48000? Not everyone is a perfectionist. But I think Phil simply forgot it since in his earlier video he mentioned it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSk9S1bkRS8&t=10m30s I don't think I have seen this one; I just wanted to make …

Another interesting video from Phil featuring FSMP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ759oY5EKg That is interesting. I noticed that he kept the sample rate at 44100 for Munt VSTi (and possibly for SCVA as well) - does he not want to set sample rate of Munt VSTi to 32000 and SCVA to 48000? Also, …

I seem to be encountering this same issue with 1600x1200 resolution when Playing KQ1 (AGI version) whose native res is 320x200. If I sent the window resolution to 1600x1201 then it scales properly. Do you observe it with the latest version of the patch—alpha 13? It has been included into DOSBox EXE …

I see. I noticed many of the cons you pointed out the longer I played. The poor timing of the music and the abrupt transitions really are jarring. So, when I first played Secret of Monkey Island in ScummVM, I heard a different sound effect -- it wasn't the one in the YouTube video I linked to and …

How does everyone feel about the CD version of The Secret of Monkey Island? In my opinion, the music seems at least on par with (if not superior to) that of the MT-32, and it seems to have better sound effects as well as ambient sound effects (like the ocean, for example). So are there any …

I'm wondering, how can I play the redbook audio from the CD? I assume I can mount the bin/cue image within DOSBox, but is it possible to rip the tracks and put them in a folder instead?

Noticed an interesting issue with the patch. When playing King's Quest 1, whose native resolution is 320x200, if I want to scale it up to 960x800 then I have to set the window resolution in dosbox to 960x801 Please, try again with the attached patch.

Personally, I would really like to play the CD version with the ability to choose text only (and no voices).

OK, I have added your requested feature. It only works with an empty playlist. So if you do not use midi files (your playlist is empty) selected 'manual mode' overrides are preserved and reloaded at startup. Download location is the same. The file version is 4.9.0.8. Thanks! It's working great. …
