TheGreatPW Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Any Italian speakers on here? Even though I grew up in an Italian neighborhood unfortunately it doesn't mean I'm able to understand everything in this Youtube video. Somehow he's playing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis on a 520ST? I remember reading this game was cancelled and only the Action Game was released. However watching this video, that horrible music it plays sure sounds like Atari ST music chip. He even selects it at the 6:50 mark of the video (wish he would've chosen the Roland MT32 instead). https://youtu.be/in9IoSmmmF8 Did he somehow pull off his own Indiana Jones style recovery of a lost prototype or is he just messing around with some video edit software?

bfollowell Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Didn't they come out with an ST version of ScummVM for the ST not too long ago? If so, I'd be willing to bet that's how they're playing it, and you could possibly play some of the other unreleased for the Atari LucasArts titles. If you're not familiar with ScummVM, check it out here. https://www.scummvm.org/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinroh Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Yes that is it! Scumm-VM-Lite! I played it on my Mega ST4 not long ago too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is no built in sound support, though from what I've followed, it will work with the Roland, if you actually have one...I'm going to test it when the MT32-pi emulator when my cable arrives... The real Rolands just go for so much these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodak80 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 http://www.happydaze.se/scummvm-lite-atari/ This does have sound support through the ST Yamaha YM chip and even the characters talking. Press F5 brings up some options and you can choose. I have played these games on my ST and have sound and music working through the YM chip. I have also used a MT32-pi to output the music and this sounds excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant no emulated sound support for the Roland (like SCUMM on other platforms), but that's not what I typed. I've only tried it on my STE, does the ST version talk too?

Yes, ST version has talking too as it uses the YM chip which is in all ST computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this was an Atari Brotherhood! Really exciting to hear that it's finally available for all. I wonder if they will release the Scumm for Apple II as I'd love to see a port to the Atari XL finally as well. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Graphics Adventure was cancelled for the Commodore 64 (the Action game got released) and I'd love to see the 8-bit versions make it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome video! Thank you for posting it! LucasArts along with Sierra Online defined the 16/32 bit gaming era. It's really a shame the Atari ST version hasn't been recovered but being playable now definitely makes up for it.

The only videos I found only plays the music. You would never know that the talkie works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScummVM has been a public project and available to any and everyone for quite a few years, probably a decade at least. I've always used it on my PC. Now, the ST version I'm not as familiar with. I think it only came out a few years ago, maybe just a couple. Also, I don't think the version available through scummvm.org is the same as ScummVM-Lite that everyone is referring to here, though I could be wrong. Assuming they are two different projects, I have no idea what the differences are or which is better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarkdluG Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) ScummVM need some powerful machine. Like Falcon with CT60e. ScummVM Lite only has four games working since each game has it own *.prg and all graphics is converted for 16 colors and very optimized. Many things are also stripped from ScummVM since it is not needed for these four games. And I think Agranlund choose these four specifically for a reason. Some of these four games works relative fine on a normal 8 MHz machine. You also need the files from PC talkie version. Some version has converted sound to *.OGG, packed data and will not work. Some version only have music. Edited February 15, 2021 by snarkdluG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised to see it on the ST at all. Many of these games ran in 256-color mode. Getting it to run on 8-bit systems with their color placement restrictions isn't going to be easy. Not to mention memory restrictions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
