* [[Datafiles#Broken_Sword_2:_The_Smoking_Mirror|Datafiles]] required by ScummVM
Broken Sword 2 was released in several different versions.
* Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror (original version). This version is supported by ScummVM.
* Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror - Remastered.


The Remastered version is not supported by ScummVM. However, most digital stores bundle it together with the original classic version, which runs via ScummVM. On Steam the original version is currently a free DLC, and on GOG it is included as a separate download under the "Extras" section for the Downloads available for this game.

=== Cutscenes ===
Copy the .SMK files from the "SMACKS" or "SMACKSHI" directories on the CDs to the same directory as the other game data files.
For the PlayStation versions, you can use the original videos off the disc. For each of the files ending in an "STR" extension, you should dump them as  off the disc (all 2352 bytes per sector). For more information, see the wiki [[HOWTO-PlayStation Videos]] page.
Some re-releases of the games, as well as the PlayStation version, do not have Smacker videos. Revolution Software has kindly allowed us to provide re-encoded cutscenes, available on our Games download page. For subtitle support, choose the cutscene pack with the appropriate subtitle add-on.
These cutscenes are provided in DXA format with FLAC audio. The quality is equal to the original games due to the use of lossless compression. Viewing these cutscenes requires a version of ScummVM compiled with both FLAC and zlib support.
For systems that are too slow to handle the decoding of FLAC audio, the audio for these cutscenes is also provided separately as OGG Vorbis audio. Viewing these cutscenes with OGG Vorbis audio requires a version of ScummVM compiled with both libVorbis and zlib support.
==Default controls==
To change these controls, use the Keymaps tab in the global or game-specific settings. For more information, see the [https://docs.scummvm.org/en/latest/settings/keymaps.html user documentation]

== Boot Params ==
For more information on using boot params, see the [[Boot Params]] wiki page.
Broken Sword 2 handles boot params slightly differently. The startup.inf file contains a list of script resources. For each of these, the game will run script 0 (each script resource can contain several scripts) to give it an opportunity to register any number of starting points. Each starting point is then identified by both its resource and its script number. The descriptions are also provided by the game, but are of course purely decorative.
Currently, ScummVM assumes that when a boot param is specified on the command-line, it should use script 1. As can be seen from the table below that's not always the case. However, you can still access the other start points from the in-game debug console by using the "start" and "starts" commands.
Boot params 19 and 949, with script 1, are what's used to start the demo and full game respectively.
