Description
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis FM-Towns, Japanese ScummVM 1.1.0svn46243, Win32
When I attempt to launch the game, this is the message I receive.
Console is ready Debugger started, type 'exit' to return to the game. Type 'help' to see a little list of commands and variables. ERROR: (0:1:0x4E4): SO_LOAD_STRING: Unsupported filename *h*p*w** !
The filename is a garbage 8 charcters long followed by a '!'. Example = *h*p*w** !
Except the asteriks (*) represent chars not on my keyboard.
Going back and double-checking, the last version where my game at least loaded was ScummVM version '0.13.1', even though then it had minor graphic anomolies.

This should be fixed in SVN. You could try it with the next daily build.
Thanks for the report.
OK, it's pretty clear what the cause for this is, it's the way we implement SO_LOAD_STRING: we look for a filename that starts or ends with "iq" -- this fails in the japanese version of the game
Proposed fix: Let's modify SO_SAVE_STRING & SO_LOAD_STRING to only work in Indy3/Indy4; also, *always* use the .iq file name. No other game uses these opcodes, as far as I know anyway.
