Okay first off let me say, if this is breaking ANY rules I do apologize let me know asap and either remove the thread or whatever. I am not intentionaly breaking them but as I'm unsure of some rules here still about distributing and redistributing files... well... just making sure you guys let me know and that you know i"m not trying to go out of my way to intentionally break rules.
*whew*
that being said....
After much looking, then begging and pleading for help, I finally was given the info I was looking for on how to change the clockspeeds in GP Scumm via hex editor. So... I've been spending the day messing around with the different versions (ph0x version, or v.3, and Dj Willis version, or v.5) and trying different speeds.
Well anyways, I thought it might be cool if I made a little pack covering a nice range of different versions/speeds for myself so I could freely experiment between them... well of course then I thought... HEY maybe some of the guys on GP32x could use these too!
So... here is what I have... it's one Zip file, about 3MB big. It contains in it:
- The original ph0x v.3 port of GP scumm, not sure but I think this runs at 166mhz... runs great with near perfect sound, but tends to lock up on my own BLU
- The original ph0x v.3 included in his original zip pack, underclocked to run at 132mhz... runs great, but with very crackly sound. Doesn't lock up at all
- ph0x v.3 hex edited by me to run 156mhz... sound is somewhere in between the first two, havent gotten it to lock up
- ph0x v.3 hex edited by me to run 160mhz... sound is about the same as 156mhz, a tad cleaner, and hasn't locked up on me yet
I have gotten the ph0x version to run DOTT (perfect), Monkey Island 1 and 2 (perfect), and Sam and Max (perfect but NO music, speech and sound effects work though). I have also already hex edited all of these versions of the ph0x v.3 .fxe to fix the Monkey Island 1 save bug.
Also included are:
- The DJ Willis v.5 alpha port of GP Scumm (latest release I've found). In three flavors, just like with the v.3, which are 132, 156, and 160 mhz.
The differences in the v.5 version vs. the v.3 version are the v.5 version WILL play the music from Sam and Max, and will also play Loom, which I was not able to get v.3 to play, as well as the monkey islands and DOTT. The downside is that in Sam and Max and DOTT, the mouse cursor movement is VERY slow, to the point I consider unplayable. The sound seems a bit better in all flavors of the v.5 .fxe.
Also, just so you guys know, I have hex edited the names of these files, so that they will actually each have a different name as they show up on your launcher, so you can actually put them all on your smc at the same time if you want and easily tell them apart so you can test and compare between them and figure out which ones you prefer. They will all use the same save/ini files, so once you set one up they will all be set up, as far as your list of games and such.
Anyways... I guess I can either email these out, or if someone wants to host/post in the news section or something so people can get it at their convenience.
See... and you guys thought I just liked to ask for help all day long while contributing nada
well nothing too special I guess... nothing you guys couldn't have done on your own but hey I had the free time and wanted a good working scumm darn it!
EDIT: NOW if I could just figure out how to hex edit the speed of the mouse cursor and speed it up in v.5... then Sam and Max would play perfect!
*whew*
