** The main motivation for that is to improve detection speed: If a file has the right name but is big, we waste a lot of time reading 1MB of data and computing its MD5, when it should suffice to look at a few kilobytes at most. | ** The main motivation for that is to improve detection speed: If a file has the right name but is big, we waste a lot of time reading 1MB of data and computing its MD5, when it should suffice to look at a few kilobytes at most. | ||
** Alternatively, change it to 5000 bytes to match the AdvancedDetector. This will affect far more games, so we'd end up with many obsolete MD5 ideas. But since we are pretty good at detecting SCUMM games correctly even without MD5, this shouldn't be so bad. However, some files might not be easily distinguishable with only the first 5000 bytes, need to check on that. | ** Alternatively, change it to 5000 bytes to match the AdvancedDetector.

* AdLib: There seems to be some loop/repeat mechanism in old AdLib sound effects that we do not handle. [http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=8644 This thread] has some discussion, and recordings. Two good examples are the door opening sound in Indy 3 and Monkey Island 1 (floppy), and the typewriter sound in Indy 3.

* Add support for non-interactive demo of Monkey Island 2. This can be done either by hacking the SCUMM loop and adding code to parse the existing 'demo.rec' file and re-injecting events in the event loop. Another possible approach would be to "specialize" the (future) events recording/playback code to deal with the original SPUTM .rec files. | * Add support for non-interactive demo of Monkey Island 2.
