Dose GPScumm not run monster.so3 files?

Is it possible, because then you could fit Sam & Max full talkie, Day Of The Tentacle full talkie and Monky Island 1 and 2 on one SMC, this would be great! (Sam & Max original monster.sou file (Sound File) was at 170mb and I compressed it down to 30mb odd! Day Of... 220mb to 40mb)

(Dose spelt badly)

I have tried to get scummvm for GP32 to play sound compressed with both mp3 and ogg encoders. But with no luck

It's nothing wrong with my files course they play just fine on scummvm 0.5.1, on both unix and windows. I guess it's one the features that came in a version later than the one ported to gp32. I heard the ph0x is working on a scummvm 0.5.1 port. Maybe it will handle compressed audio. And if we are lucky it will also play simon the sorcer 1&2, broken sword 1&2 and Beneath a steel sky (that is freeware just for scummvm).

There is no MAD or Vorbis support in the current (ScummVM .3.1) port.

Getting MAD or Vorbis working would be a good bit of work as there is not a huge amount of CPU headroom left after the emu is running. There is a Vorbis engine that is optimised for Fixed Point math that is VERY CPU efficient so that maybe possible for a future release of gpScummVM .

It’s also worth noting that the compressed audio support is part of the backend (i.e. the port) and not part of the core ScummVM code.

Also, one more thing, Broken Sword 1&2 are very unlightly to ever work due to there screen resolution being a good bit more then that of the GP32 .

Yeah, I just thought about that after i posted. That also makes it mosktly impossible to play Curse of Monkey Island. But simon & beaneath a stealsky might work right?

Yep, they should work fine on any .5 backend.
