Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Monkey Island 1

Description

I tried Monkey Island 1 CD Mulitlanguage with CVS build 0.5.0pre-cvs bulit on July 5th.

This error accours at the very begining of the game, when Guybrush is about to leave lookout post...the game goes into debug mode with message: "room96 not in room96 at 46976 42+0 in file monkey.001"

This bug was obviously introduced in one of the latest CVS builds.

Are you using Windows and playing the game and the music directly from CD? Apparently that's known (according to the README) to cause random crashes, but no one ever told me if it's ScummVM, SDL or Windows that's buggy.

If so, try copying the data files to your hard disk. If not... well, then I have no idea. It works for me.

yes i play it directly from CD, but if this is truly a random crash as stated in README, why does it always crash at same postion? And it worked for me too, but somehow it doesn't with build i've stated. Will try it again with next build

Works fine for me with MP3-ripped sound track on Mac OS X.

Whether it's truly random or not, it is 100% a Windows problem and completely unrelated to ScummVM. Windows simply gives us incorrect data, there isn't a hell of a lot we can do about it. I'm not sure why earlier builds worked, it may be a timing problem exagurating the effects of the Windows bug.

The problem does not occur in Windows 98, it is a bug with CD handling in all NT versions to at least 2000 (havn't tested XP).

Closing.
