SCI: kq4sci-amiga skips title screen

Description (last modified by )
The Amiga version of King's Quest IV (1.023) skips the title screen after clicking or entering 'Yes' to the question 'Is this your first time playing [...]?' and goes directly to the credits. This on ScummVM 2.9.0 x86-64.
Based on several let's play-video's I believe this should not happen and the title screen should remain visible longer, with music playing in the background.

This will appear in the next daily build.
This was a regression I introduced in 2023 with a workaround for KQ4's broken sound signals that cause the end of the introduction to wait forever instead of starting the game. I did not know that Amiga had added these same signals to almost every sound, so that caused the bannerSound
object to signal unexpectedly early.
Thanks again for reporting!
Hello! Thank you for reporting, I have confirmed that this bug occurs in the latest daily build.
After selecting "Yes", the game should remain on the title screen and play music instead of jumping to credits. That is how the DOS version behaves, both in ScummVM and the original interpreter, and how the Amiga version should behave according to this play through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKwgixkqSzA
