Description
problem is the following: the game begins (showing weird, some ppl reported it in the forum) Detected game 'Simon the Sorcerer 1 for DOS', version 99.99.99 WARNING: No path was provided. Assuming the data files are in the current directory! WARNING: readSfxFile: Cannot load sfx file SFXXXX01! WARNING: readSfxFile: Cannot load sfx file SFXXXX05! WARNING: Set video mode internal: 0, 16202! WARNING: Set video mode internal: 0, 16201! WARNING: Set video mode internal: 0, 16200!
then asks for the codes, but it allways asks the same things: pentagon? page 17, feather page 6, skull page 22
i passed it once pressing West; South; W-S, and was amazed to see the introduction
after closing it and re-run, the code asked were still the same, but replying the same didn't work?
so i suppose the code is random, but there's a problem at asking the correct one

What version of ScummVM do you use? And on what OS? You should always include this information in bug reports (for any project where you report bugs, BTW).
comment:5 by , 22 years ago
i use linux kernel 2.4, with latest cvs of scummvm
i've foudn that the sound is working when no -e option is passed but it gives a lot of "MIDI sub-command 0xB0 (Control Change) case 79 not handled in MIDIEMU driver. MIDI sub-command 0xB0 (Control Change) case 79 not handled in MIDIEMU driver. " errors, and the sound is "nerves-working", but it works
if passed to a midi sequencer with -eseq or -ealsa, then it fails to initialise
maybe this is just a 'missing feature'?

The midi music in Simon 1/2 (simon1win/simon2win targets) fails to play under Windows too.
comment:7 by , 22 years ago
The problem of no midi play on win32 was caused by change at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi- bin/viewcvs.cgi/scummvm/scummvm- old/simon/simon.cpp.diff?r1=1.31&r2=1.32 That added -1 is last line of changes seems to be only midi related change, if I remove the -1 from current cvs verison midi works in simon1win again but simon2win crashes.on startup.

I checked in a change following Kirben's findings - it does the -1 one only for Simon2, not for Simon1. Can somebody check if that helps any (i.e. do all versions now work correctly, or not)?

Yes, the midi in simon1win works again in Windows :) That added -1 isn't actually required for midi play back in simon1win or simon2win targets. The cause of the simon2win crash I mentioned earlier is caused by the change at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi- bin/viewcvs.cgi/scummvm/scummvm/simon/simon.cpp.diff? r1=1.6&r2=1.7 that changes in the last section I expect.

I just fixed Simon2win MIDI, too (at least here). Feel free to reopen if it still fails for you now.

Hmm after digging a bit more, the problem doesn't come of the codes, i didn't remembered i had a cracked copy ;) So the codes were always true.
I retried with the normal version, there i can see if i pass the codes or not, and if i fail, the msg is: " Error: Exit interpreter opcode!"
The problems comes of the midi initialisation that fails most of the time ( -eseq && -ealsa ) What i don't get is that i've heard the music once
error showing is: Error: MidiPlayer::initializer, got Streaming not available!
Digging more to get more infos
