#5724 new defect

MD5: MOHAWK: LB - Various missing games (chacksums included)

Reported by: SF/afholman Owned by: fuzzie
Priority: high Component: Engine: Mohawk
Version: Keywords: detection
Cc: Game:

Description

I seem to have a game that is not yet supported; "Arthur's Reading Games". I do not know whether this is distinct from "Arthur's Reading Race", but I see on the web that both are available for sale.

The game has two outline files, arg32.lb and arg.lb, and one executable, arg32.exe

The initial portion of arg.lb is as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [BookInfo] title="Arthur's Reading Games 1.0" copyright="©Copyright 1999, The Learning Company" nPages="13" nLanguages="1" xRes="640" yRes="480" ;optional configuration info fNeedPalette=true fUse254ColorPalette=true nColors=256

[Globals] PanelInit=2 nDemo=1

[Languages] Language1="English" ------------------------------------------------------------

I attempted to start the game by copying and modifying for checksum one of the stanzas for Arthur's Reading Race as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------- { { "arthurrace", "", AD_ENTRY1("ARG32.LB", "51be80dff4be9fd07c32b3b207320677"), Common::EN_ANY, Common::kPlatformWindows, ADGF_NO_FLAGS, Common::GUIO_NONE }, GType_LIVINGBOOKSV3, 0, 0 }, ------------------------------------------------------------------

This resulted in scummvm detecting the game as Arthur's Reading Race. Starting the game brought up an introductory screen with title "Arthur's Reading Games". Attempting t!o play beyond the title screen resulted in the "I Spy" choice of pictures, choosing one of these resulted in an error: "0x6f had wrong size (10)"

The version of scummvm tested was: ScummVM 1.4.0git617-gbc2e770-dirty (May 29 2011 22:01:25) Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 ALSA SEQ TiMidity RGB zLib

This was compiled by myself under Debian sid, amd64.

It does seem to just be Arthur's Reading Race rebranded. I had no idea about that!

I'll look at adding all of these detection entries when I can find some time, thanks for the very helpful reports. Do you know if any of your games have Mac versions on the discs? If so, we'd very much appreciate the relevant md5sums for their outlines too (mounting the CDs with '-t hfsplus' should show you the Mac contents, if any).

comment:3 by SF/afholman, 13 years ago

Quite a few of my Living Books games advertise that the disks are Hybrid Windows/Macintosh disks. I just tried one and managed to mount it with -t hfs (but not with -t hfsplus).

Would you like md5sums for the Macintosh files for just the ones I've reported, or for all the Macintosh disks I have? Do you need them for all languages? Would you like also the md5sums for non-english Windows outline files? (The stanzas I added were just for my use, hence only the english ones).

comment:4 by fuzzie, 13 years ago

Oops, sorry, HFS indeed, not quite awake!

I would appreciate md5sums for any LB games you have which aren't detected, both non-English and Mac, if it's not too much of a pain - there's a huge variety of these discs out there, and while we'll be adding a fallback detector so that people don't have to add stanzas themselves just to make things work, it doesn't always pick up the right files/version.

comment:5 by SF/afholman, 13 years ago

These are the md5sums for the first 5000 characters of the named outline files. I have not checked whether these checksums are already in the detection tables. I only have one disk for each title, so where a checksum matches an existing title or the checksum for one of the stanzas I added in the other bug reports I made, then the rest of the checksums for that title are for outline files on the same CD. All macintosh checksums are for files on the same hybrid CD as the windows files for that title.

Thanks very much, that is ideal, we were missing many of these. I've added a bunch of them, but not yet all of them.

I took the liberty of renaming this hard-to-find bugreport, hopefully somebody can check and add the missing entries
