Well, I have a program called MacOpener 2000. It can read the "Mac" part of CDs. Unfortunately, I think you have to buy it at the store, unless you can find their web site and get a trial version....  [Read More]

Disassembling the scripts from SCUMM games can bring up some interesting messages you've never seen. Here's one from MI2: - Error: Tell Tim To Add More Planks! I know of more, but I can't get them posted right now....  [Read More]

Nope. You can hear the music from them, though. Open a .SAN file, and click on an IACT block. I get the feeling some people don't notice this feature. Use Scumm Revisited 2, not 3!...  [Read More]

I recently installed and played COMI (with full sound acceleration), and the movie ran fine! I didn't need to change any settings. It could have something to do with my installing DirectX 9.0. The movie played choppy before then....  [Read More]

You, I, and everyone must always remember some things about the BMP file format! - The palette is stored in BGR, rather than RGB - The rows are stored upside-down - While the image width may not be a multiple of 4, the stored rows in the bitmap are,...  [Read More]

I've flipped the bitmap upside-down (or right-side-up), so that's cool. Sometimes (but very rarely), the saved bitmap is all screwed up. I think AkosView is in for a rewrite, but in the meantime, 0.5 has been released, with the ability to save as a B...  [Read More]

That sounds good. AkosView does the GDI device context thing to display things like "Failed to draw cel". Trouble is, if a part of that text is overlapping the cel, it may end up in your screenshot. Of course, I can just blank out the scree...  [Read More]

Ack, you're right. I'll follow your advice and do BMP, it's easier anyway. I don't know much about GDI, but I'd be happy to learn more of it. AkosView uses DirectDraw, and is written using Visual C++ 6....  [Read More]

If you really want to rip the images, you'll have to wait a bit. I'm making plans for an internal GIF compressor, but I don't know much about GIF. You could take screenshots with the Print Screen key, but the colors are all wrong....  [Read More]
