    230232Viewing these cutscenes thus requires a version of ScummVM compiled
    231233with both libmpeg2 (preferably 0.4.0 or greater) and libVorbis support.
    232234
    233 The cutscenes should be placed in the main game data directory. Note that
    234 currently this requires either copying the game to harddisk or reburning
    235 customised versions of the game CDs.
     235The cutscenes should be placed in the main game data directory or in
     236another directory with the extra path pointing to it.

    363364          - Subtitles aren't available in the English and German CD versions,

    367367     Simon the Sorcerer 2:
    368368          - Combined speech and subtitles will often cause speech to be
    369369            cut off early, this is a limitation of the original game.
     
    990990
    991991If you don't have a MIDI capable soundcard, there are two options: FluidSynth
    992992and TiMidity. We recommend FluidSynth, as on many systems TiMidity will 'lag'
    993 behind music. This is very noticable in iMUSE-enabled games, which use fast
     993behind music. This is very noticeable in iMUSE-enabled games, which use fast
    994994and dynamic music transitions. Running TiMidity as root will allow it to
    995995setup real time priority, which may reduce music lag.

    11421142It is possible to use Flac compression by adding the --flac option. However,
    11431143the resulting *.clf file will actually be larger than the original.
