INDY3EGA: Amiga - music timer running way too fast

Reported by: SF/quietust Owned by: Kirben
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCUMM
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Indiana Jones 3

Description

As music playback is currently disabled, it's hard to tell that music is playing too quickly, but there are 2 places where it becomes evident:

1. The intro, from start to end, is playing in about 34.6 seconds with ScummVM. On my Amiga, the song takes 52 seconds to play back completely (and the intro doesn't end until the song is done).

2. In the Zeppelin, playing a song on the piano to get into the radio room leaves me with way too little time to get the wrench and smash the radio (about 5 seconds after I enter the room, even if I click as fast as humanly possible).

Now that I understand the code a bit better, the problem is that there is NO music timer, and there are events that don't work properly (the aforementioned zeppelin part) if there's no timer.

There is a music timer, check around line 1219 of scumm/scummvm.cpp. I adjusted the music delay and intro. duration seems right now when compared to PC version, can you recheck out location ?

Can you recheck the other location I mean.

Much better, though now it's a bit too slow (55 seconds instead of 52). One of the main problems with the Amiga version is that the timing is not 100% exact - with a faster CPU, the intro actually runs faster (but still ends at the exact instant the music stops), while with a 7.14MHz 68000 (the original Amiga CPU), animation is extremely choppy. Similar problems can be seen with Zak McKracken - with a fast CPU, the "zoom in on the map" bit in the intro goes super- fast, leaving you at the end of the intro a LOT longer than otherwise expected.

I made a small adjustment to music timer, it is now using same timer value as Adlib. There is a minor 1-1.5 second difference but it is close enough and using correct value, so
I'm closing bug.
