Description
ScummVM 1.7.0git (Mar 7 2014 16:46:12) Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 RGB zLib MPEG2 Theora AAC FreeType2 JPEG PNG
The Amiga conversion of Simon the Sorcerer 2 - The Lion, the Wizard and the Wardrobe is detected wrong as Simon the Sorcerer 2 (CD/Windows/English) leading to unforseeable problems in later bug reports (Ahem) :-)
Here is a little more info on the version: http://hol.abime.net/1943
It reads "Amiga and Mac conversion done by Peter Mulholland and Paul Burkey" on the back of the jewel case and was published by Epic Marketing. Versions: complete english with german and italian subtitles. A later patch added french subtitles aswell. (The patch can be downloaded here, albeit only through web.archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20010302121045/http://www.shoecake.com/files/Simon2Upd5.lha) Maybe this patch can be put up on the ScummVM downloads page? System: AGA or GFX card 68030+, 16 MB Ram
AmigaOS4 - PPC - SDL - BE gcc (GCC) 4.2.4 (adtools build 20090118)

The only differences to a clean "off the CD" install is the missing simon2.french subtitle file and the file called "epic.tga" which seems to be an ad picture from the publisher (all the other updates were done to the Amiga executable).

The dictionary files used by the Amiga & Macintosh versions of Simon the Sorcerer 2 aren't supported, and are unlikely to be supported anytime soon. They contain the complete subtitles for the game in multiple languages, but in an unknown random order.
The other data files are identical to the Windows port, other than difference in speech files, which is already auto detected by ScummVM.
That is why we have not added specific detection entries, and they won't be added until dictionary support is possible in the future.
Closing as later.

I don't quite see the connection between that argument and detecting this as a Windows version.
comment:6 by , 10 years ago
The dictionary files aren't used by ScummVM at all, and it isn't clear which files will be required. So it doesn't make any sense to make those files required by ScummVM at this stage.

I was wondering if i'm allowed to attach those dictionary files here for later inspection? At least the french subtitle file is/was freely available from the patches.
May i add them to this item?
comment:8 by , 10 years ago
I'm very confused now. Why are the dictionary files relevant? We're currently detecting Mac/Amiga versions of Simon2 as the Windows version. That isn't right.
comment:9 by , 10 years ago
I already own the Amiga port of Simon the Sorcerer 2, and the know format used by the dictionary files. But order of the subtitles in the dictionary files seem completely random though, and don't match the string ids or speech ids in the game scripts. The problem is making use of those subtitles, without adding huge conversion tables for multiple languages.
The dictionary files are relevant for detection, because they would be the only way to detect between the Amiga/Macintosh ports and the Windows port. The other data files are identical to the Windows port, and the voice files can't be used for detection, since they could be compressed.

I highly recommend to add correct detection entries for these versions, but probably display a message that they are not supported.
This will remove chance of such false positive bugreports to be submitted.
Following this report is the continuation of https://sourceforge.net/p/scummvm/bugs/6549/ which seems to be direcly affected by the wrong detector entry and may cause even more mischief later on.
