General Issues

  • Add descumm support for HE90+ games, to help solve bugs.
  • Add support for deleting and renaming of files, to enable original game's load and save system.
  • Add support for o72_debugInput, which is used to display a message and request a response. The result is placed into a string array. The opcode is used by the mini game of spyfox2, when 'arcadecheat=1' is added to ScummVM config file.
  • Add support for horizontal and vertical flipping of wizImages, using compression type 1 (For clouds in mustard)
  • Convert wizImage to image file (BMP?), when printing is requested, to allow printing of images by other programs.
  • Fix broken sync. of songs, if the game is paused during song.
  • Dog and probably other games may write non-ASCII characters and '=' into .ini fields values.
 An example of such entry is highscore: "_HS=!$Q!B  Ñ‘=m4". Hex representation of the value is
 "21 24 51 21  42 20 20 a3 3d 6d 34". Probably we substitute non-ascii characters as well as '='
 by \xYY like it is done in C.

Sound system

Complete support for music/sound engine of the games

  • Add extra sound flags (Where are they used?).

U32 library calls

Complete the U32 library calls, triggered by case 2001 of kernelGetFunctions/kernelSetFunctions. Unfortunately the U32 library calls are unique in each HE game.

  • The U32 code controls the players movements on field in soccer

Backyard Football

  • Freezes when computer picks team member.
  • Items in the Game Options can only be selected by the choosing the pixels of text, selecting the white background of text doesn't work.

Big Thinkers 1st Grade

Issues effect demo and full game.

  • The image of painting in room isn't updated correctly, after painting your own picture.

Issues effect full game only

  • The color of magnets doesn't change, when creating a magnets picture in the fridge mini game.
  • The car often gets stuck in the smart star challenge, when selecting a location which requires the car to turn. Path finding issue?

Fatty Bear

  • Add support for sound pitch changes for piano notes in DOS version.
  • The top left and top right parts of the inventory area are shown in upper left corner of screen in many rooms. The floating objects used for inventory area are always nuked by exit script when the room changes, but the x & y values aren't always set after by scripts.

Freddi Fish 2

Issues effect full game only

  • When using chalk on black board in school, can draw slightly outside the bounds. The code of akos codec 1 needs to be adjusted to only draw actors inside rect limits set by _clipOverride.
  • Graphical glitches on right screen edge during ending credits, as creatures reach right side of screen. The code of akos codec 1 needs to be adjusted to only draw actors inside rect limits set by _clipOverride.

Freddi Fish and Luther's Water Worries

  • Russian updated version has bad picture in resource which shows up as garbage even with original version. It crashes ScummVM at least under Win32. With FreeBSD it works ok.
  • The data files use mixed filenames in the Macintosh HE99 version. 'Water Worries (0)', 'Water Worries (A)', 'Water Worries (2)','Water Worries (4)' and 'Water (7)'. This causes the game to fail, since it attempts to load Water Worries (7)' instead of 'Water (7)'

Let's Explore with Buzzy Games

  • Graphical glitches around screen edges (ie when trying to go outside in farmdemo) sometimes. The code of akos codec 1 needs to be adjusted to only draw actors inside rect limits set by _clipOverride.

Pajama Sam 3

  • Pajama Sam is always shown wearing a pumpkin over head in 'A Complex Exterior'. The pumpkin head is drawn by Actor 1 Limb 0 Part 6, part 6 should be skipped.

Pajama Sam's Lost & Found

Issues which effect HE98 version only

  • Items to collect are sometimes removed from interface when collected, instead of a tick been displayed over the item. An example is collecting the teddy bear on level 8 (Passcode is J4V1Y)
  • Graphical glitches after collecting items on level 6 (Passcode is K1E6W), occurs as soon as comic book is collected.

Issues which effect HE100 version only

  • Graphical glitches around screen edges. The code of akos codec 1 needs to be adjusted to only draw actors inside rect limits set by _clipOverride.

Issues which effect all full versions

  • Pajama Sam and Otto are still talking on the first level, as the first items are been shown, if subtitles are enabled.

Putt-Putt Enters The Race

  • The balls get stuck in the pinball type game at the the pachinko location, which uses case 1140 of logic dispatch.
  • When recycling old bottles in the 'junkyard' location, Putt-Putt's shadow changes to a default color of red. The shadow table isn't used at this point and the default color for shadows should be black.

Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo

Issues which effect HE72 version only

  • When you encouner Kenya the lion cub for the first time, you see a short cutscene. When Kenya tries to jump, her back is teared off with waterfall drops.


Fun Shop titles

  • Add support for processWizImage modes 7 (captureWizPolygon), used when selecting the stamps button or background objects button. Creates the images to be displayed.
  • Add support for processWizImage modes 13, 14, 15, used after selecting text button. Creates and displays the text written on cursor.
  • Add support for processWizImage 17, used when first selecting shapes button.
  • Rotation of shapes is broken, a shape is changed, instead of been rotated.
  • All shapes have a line cut off on right edge and bottom edge.

Spy Fox 1

  • When using chalk at 'Paper', can draw slightly outside the bounds. The code of akos codec 1 needs to be adjusted to only draw actors inside rect limits set by _clipOverride.
  • Can't select colored blocks in paintings of 'Nogroom' multiple times. Actor 1 is still marked as in use, causing actor 1 to be found at cursor position, when no actor should be found.

Future

  • Add 16bit color support for later HE games?
  • Add compression support for music/speech files?
  • Add support for resource queuing, to help playing from CD?

16bit Color Games

U32 library calls

Complete the U32 library calls, triggered by case 2001 of kernelGetFunctions/kernelSetFunctions. Unfortunately the U32 library calls are unique in each HE game.

  • The U32 code controls the players movements on field in basketball
  • The U32 code controls the players movements on field in soccermls
