'''The 7th Guest''' was the first game to be released by [[Trilobyte]], and the first to use the [[Groovie]] engine. The introduction tells the story of Stauf, a toy-maker who builds a mansion, and then the user takes control of a character (referred to as Ego), who has no idea who he is or how he got there, as he solves the puzzles in Stauf's mansion to discover the truth about what happened there. | |||

*The CD-i release seems to be done using a Philips' custom engine (it doesn't use the [[Groovie]] engine for sure), so we won't be able to support it in ScummVM. | *The CD-i release seems to be done using a Philips' custom engine (it doesn't use the [[Groovie]] engine for sure), so we won't be able to support it in ScummVM. | ||
==Audio Tracks== | |||
Most versions of The 7th Guest have audio tracks on the CDs, and the first audio track on each CD is played at some point in the game. Following the normal ScummVM rules for copying games with audio tracks would give two audio tracks named "track1.xxx" (where "xxx" is "mp3", "ogg", or "flac"). To get around this problem, the first audio track from the first CD should be ripped as "track1.xxx", and the audio track from the second CD as "track2.xxx" (the second audio track on the first CD, if present, is blank and unused). | |||
==Known issues== | |||
*External videos added with the Windows Beta player (http://www.tbyte.com/downloads/) aren't supported yet. | |||
*Paletted cursors aren't handled very nicely on platforms that don't support them, e.g. WinCE. | |||
*VDX player is not very efficient (e.g. slow on WinCE/GP2XWiz etc.). | |||
==Original game bugs which also occur in ScummVM== | |||
*Library secret door - this is actually how the video was rendered, and as such is not fixable {{Tracker|id=4102}}. | |||
*Game room → kitchen secret passage - this only occurs in Open House mode, not in normal gameplay {{Tracker|id=4246}}. | |||
*Doll room flip puzzle impossible to win in some cases {{Tracker|id=4315}}. | |||
==Original game bugs which have been fixed in ScummVM== | |||
*Cake puzzle bug {{Tracker|id=4050}}. | |||
