dianiu: Thank you for the bug report. To ensure that we can exactly identify this version, could you please attach a text file to this bug containing a file listing of your Spanish PQ3 VGA v1.000 datafiles along with file md5sums. The output of a tool such as http://md5summer.org/ would be optimal.

Also, could you indicate if this is a 3.5 or 5.25 floppy version and provide the INT version string from the disk label.

It's a 3.5 floppy version. Here is a file listing with file md5sums:

dianiu: Thank you. This should be sufficient, but could you indicate how many disks and provide the INT version string from the disk label please...

comment:5 by SF/dianiu, 12 years ago

I'm sorry but I don't know what is the INT version string. This version has 5 disks.

comment:6 by digitall, 12 years ago

dianiu: The INT string should be on the front of the Floppies: http://www.mobygames.com/game/police-quest-3-the-kindred/cover-art/gameCoverId,42868/

Hmm... This is probably the Erbe Software SA. Spanish release, but this is tricky as the SCI engine evolved significantly, so knowing the interpreter internal version is needed to be sure that this will work without crashing...

If you could: 1. Describe your disks appearance or attach a JPG scan of the disk label as this may be encoded on the front in a different way? 2. Try running "strings" tool on your SIERRA.EXE looking for dates or internal version strings...: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UnxUtils http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strings_%28Unix%29

I uploaded a JPG scan of the disk label. I hope it is enough.

comment:8 by digitall, 12 years ago

dianiu: Have added detection entry in commit 1f91cc1aa0a21c80aa6d31934078b5d2a5e18f08.

Please test with the next nightly build to see if this is detected and runs correctly and report the results here: http://buildbot.scummvm.org/builds.html

It should be noted that the information you have given may indicate an EGA version, rather than VGA, but I have assumed that this is a dual Spanish/English VGA version as you indicated. If this is incorrect, it will probably fail to run correctly, so please confirm if this is the case.

Providing the internal version strings from the interpreter and values from VERSION file would also help clarify this.

Apart from this, even if this is correctly detected and runs as per the original interpreter under DOSBox, it will need you to play through the game as any script error or bugs will likely cause the ScummVM SCI engine to error() out. We will then need to assess how to fix the detected script errors.
