* Jones CD: The sound track in some versions contained junk at the beginning, which results in the animations and the speech being out of sync. If the garbage is removed from the beginning of the ripped track (with a program like Audacity), speech works fine (the track should begin with "Welcome to QT clothing! We will sell you anything!") - {{ | * Jones CD: The sound track in some versions contained junk at the beginning, which results in the animations and the speech being out of sync.

* KQ6: Missing sync resource. Right at the beginning, go to bookshop and get the book that's on the table. 2nd portrait has no sync resource but audio. Windows version uses the appended sort of "raw data" for lip-sync, that's why its working there (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD6EM7v6R8Y#t=2m23s). We may possibly even create virtual sync resources out of that data, so the scripts will get it and even DOS version could work with full lip-sync. Further investigation required. We are now using the "raw" data in ScummVM | * KQ6: Missing sync resource. Right at the beginning, go to bookshop and get the book that's on the table. 2nd portrait has no sync resource but audio.

* PQ1: you are supposed to put your gun into the locker at the police station. The script related to this is buggy. When you put the gun into the locker, it disposes the gun in memory immediately, but it then waits 2 seconds until it actually closes the locker. If the player is fast enough and clicks again, the disposed gun is accessed again, which results in a crash in ScummVM. This worked by pure luck in SSCI. {{ | * PQ1: you are supposed to put your gun into the locker at the police station. The script related to this is buggy.
