** Uses the KROM file found in the base directory for all three

* For all:
* Implement RTZ loading compatibility if possible.
** sfGetMusicBeat
** RTZ savegames are not portable between v1.0 and v1.1+ versions, despite internal version being 623 for all.
** sfGetCdTime
** V1.0 savegames are 2 bytes larger (when decompressed by gunzip) compared to v1.1+ (19064 vs. 19062 bytes for English).
** sfGetSynthType
* For Return to Zork:
** sfGetSoundEnergy (used to animate the mouths of characters when they're talking). This has been implemented now, but the mouth animations are out of sync. This occurs because the original unpacked sounds on the fly, whereas ScummVM unpacks them when they're loaded. In ScummVM, the "sound energy" values are stored in an array (used as a stack), which means that sfGetSoundEnergy can empty that array prematurely. A proper fix would be to figure out when a value should be popped from the sound energy stack, or to unpack sounds on the fly like the original does
** sfShakeScreen
* For LGOP2/Manhole:NE:
** sfPlayMusic
* For Manhole:NE:
** sfPlayNote
** sfStopNote
** sfPlayTele
** sfStopTele
 
=== General ===
 
=== Graphics ===
* Use "dirty rectangles" (e.g. in updateSprites())
 
=== Sound ===
* Music is disabled in LGoP2 and Manhole (it's not loaded correctly)
* Finish up MIDI music playing (only Soundblaster music is played for now)
 
=== Video ===
* In RtZ's intro, after the flyover, an invalid number of sound chunks is read. There is currently a hack which stops the parser when this happens to prevent the game from crashing, but the intro credits screen is not shown
 
== File-specific tasks ==
=== database.cpp ===
* Read/verify database header
* Verify save game header
 
=== pmvplayer.cpp ===
* Read/evaluate PMV file header
 
=== screen.cpp ===
* Implement clipRect in placeSprite(), placeAnim() and placeText()
* Finish up Screen::show()
* Finish up printText()
