Description
Hi, the following version of the game is not detected:
It is a five floppy disk version in German language. The box tells, it is "Cruise for a Corpse" "Complete in German" "VGA 256 colors", with labels of "Cinematique", "US Gold", "Delphine Software"
Strange thing is that on the floppy disks there are no D1, D4, D5 files, but E1, E4, E5 with different MD5SUMs to the ones listed in the similar Bugreport ID: 2481859 from January. The other MD5SUMs are the same.
List of files:

Looks not so good. I renamed the three E* files to their according D1,D4 and D5 counterparts and added the MD5 to the detection.cpp so that it detects 256color German version. Detection works fine then, but start gives:

Sorry for fast follow up, but now have little more output with -d 3:

Hmmm.. unfortunately, that doesn't tell me much except to confirm that your game isn't like the standard followed by the other versions of the game. Which already seemed to be the case, given the different filenames used.
I personally don't really want to return to do any further major work on the game; maybe we can prevail on you to do further experimentation to see if you can figure out the differences and get the game working - you could always submit a patch. Either that or we just put a note for now that the German 256 colour version isn't supported, and maybe someone will look into it in the future.

Hi, I investigated deeper and it seems now to me that the files on my DOS floppy disks where changed and are not the original any more! So you can now close the case, as this problem most likely affects only me.
If you want to know what I found out, feel free to read on... According to the manual there should be a delphine.exe on the disk, but it is not. In hexeditor the E1, E4, E5 files have a header that starts with PKD (complete different to the D2 and D3 files) and after 14 bytes the filenames D1, D4, D5 can be seen. Also I found a file PRG on the first floppy disk that has the same PKD header and the string DELPHINE.EXE after 14 bytes. All this four files look like zipped data, with no more ASCII words to find in them (in opposite to the D2 and D3 file) My conclusion is that a pre-owners of my game disks used some packager (PackDev?) on the datafiles and the EXE and therefore the files are not usable. Virus was not found. I tried hard to "unpack" the files, but did not succeed.
The only effect for the Scummvm team of this case is now, that I cannot test "Cruise" for the 1.0.0 release... ;-)

For information, a tool (extract_cruise_pc) is now available to extract these E1,E4,E5 files (I had to extract them for my french version).
One thing which isn't clear from your posting, particularly given the different filenames, is whether this version of the game actually runs with ScummVM. Have you been able to to compile the code and test whether ScummVM works with it? It will be a bit redundant to add the MD5 in yet if it doesn't, and I don't have the German version to add support for if it doesn't.
