  • Ticket #15480 – Description

    v12 v13  
    1 The Life Of Paul kind of works but it is vary unstable, temperamental and seems to have issues in almost every category.
     1The Life Of Paul is vary unstable, temperamental and seems to have issues in almost every category. This is also one of those games that runs directly from the disk, so no installation required.

    3 Reverse engineering
    4 I'm not 100% sure about this but some reverse engineering might be required, 11 files on the disk have no file extension and the following files with extensions can also found on the disk

    1127There seems to be something weird going on with the game files that might be effecting ScummVM's ability to run it.

    13 Main Menu
    14 The buttons have gone from not working to unpredictable, sometimes they work, other times they don't. sometimes they work but then for whatever stop working (and vice versa) the behaviour of each button is random and all over the place.
     29== Main Menu
    1530
    16 The "Interactive Bible For Kids" series has a character that shows up in every game, the main menu has this character in the middle pointing to each activity when you hover the mouse over an option but in scumm, the character is replaced with random objects   
     31**Buttons**
     32They have gone from not working to unpredictable, sometimes they work, other times they don't. sometimes they work but then for whatever reason, they just stop working (and vice versa) the behaviour of each button is all over the place and often feels completely random.

     34**The Character In The Middle**:
     35The "Interactive Bible For Kids" series has a character that shows up in every game, the main menu has this character in the middle pointing to each activity when you hover the mouse over an option but in ScummVM, the character is replaced with random objects.   
     36
     37**Console Messages**

    24 Storybook - Paul and the Bright Light:

     45== Storybook - Paul and the Bright Light
     46it seems to work well, that said, the first time I ran this part of the game, Scumm Crash (well, stopped responding) with no console messages.
