#15021 new defect

Macintosh sound only available on MAC OS X with SCI engine — at Version 2

Reported by: g5ppc Owned by:
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCI
Version: Keywords: Macintosh SCI
Cc: Game: King's Quest 5

Description (last modified by g5ppc)

This bug was originally for the broken resource loading in 2.8.0. Since that is now fixed in 2.8.1, I confirmed that MacBinarized files seem to work on OS X and Linux.

However, it appears that Macintosh sound is only available on OS X, as I can not get it to engage on Linux. By comparison, LucasArts SCUMM games for Macintosh do seem to produce Macintosh music on Linux.

I am not sure if this is a problem loading the proper SCI 'sound driver' file on Linux, or if it is a problem making Macintosh sound available in SCUMMVM SCI engine on Linux. The usual result is either no sound or MIDI/MT-32 sound on Macintosh game played on Linux. I haven't tested, but believe it is the same on Windows.
