Added detection, curiously the demo uses the same hash, for the executable at least.
Using today's build I can confirm the same issues reported by antoniou

Hi BostonLow,
This was just brought under my attention.
Thanks for reporting this. I see tag2015 has recently added it to the detection. This means it will be in the 2.9 release for scummvm.
We have a strict anti piracy policy. Due to it I'll be removing the link.
Our policy on demos that were made freely available by the gamestudio/publisher are less strict.
For that I'll do a quick check on the demo to see if I can get the sound working.

I've checked the demo.
Can confirm as well, pressing the language button "English" ore "Español" just restarts the menu. I don't see a sound problem.
When running the demo in windows 95, there's only sound after the language has been selected.
The narrator and characters voices can be heard when starting the demo with the extra option --start-movie=dqf/01c.dir
.
I've created a planka card here to track it for the developers: https://planka.scummvm.org/cards/1318190799376090738
We can keep this issue open to track the problem with the main menu.

Hello!
I'll try the arguments you leave me!
Let me tell you that I have the original game and I only made a copy of the files so that you could see the structure and operation.
Thx for all!

We understand that it was well intended and that is appreciated, but unfortunately it still falls under our rule for posting links to copyrighted games.
Replying to BostonLow:
Where I put this un scummvm? “ --start-movie=dqf/01c.dir”
- First launch ScummVM; from the ScummVM launcher go to the Game Options for the game, and note down the Game ID (eg. "director-win-fallback-6")
- Then exit ScummVM
- From a command line (eg. cmd) issue a command like the following:
E:\msys64\mingw64\bin\scummvm.exe --start-movie=dqf/01c.dir director-win-fallback-6
Adjust the path properly to match your own path to the scummvm executable.
For visual reference the game is the one shown in this video from Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsvZNrWjdoc
As far as I can tell it was released in 1996 (it could be 1995).
Google search returned a demo on the cover disc of a Spanish magazine for PC called "PCMania". The demo is on the cover disc of issue number 39, from January 1996.
The demo is also using the Director engine, but unfortunately its files do not seem to be properly grouped in a folder on the CD ROM, but rather the exe file to launch it is on the root folder mixed with other data files that are for the launcher of the cover disc GUI menu and it's not easy to tell which subfolders belong to the game. Launching that demo via ScummVM (using the fallback detection) reaches the main screen for language selection, with no sounds, and then clicking on the buttons does nothing.
