Could you please explain how you managed to get Sierra Adventure games working on ScummVM? I heard it was only a possible feat through the impossible DOSBox.

@KatziiYataki Sierra (AGI) games work out of the box on ScummVM.

Oh, now I understand but then the music, the game's engine (AGI) does not support

a sound card

[abandonwareasylum]

@janmansde3dede I made this using ScummVM which converts the pc-speaker sounds using an Adlib emulator.

@abandonwareasylum In this case, ScummVM is actually emulating the Tandy 3 voice version of the music. The PC speaker music is not nearly as complex.

@klaitu2 Thank you. That makes a lot of sense when I think about the noises this game made when I first played it on a 286 laptop. :)

@janmansde3dede This is CGA in composite mode. There's a good explaination of this (with images) on wikipedia.

This looks too good to CGA, CGA can handle only 4 colors (And 16 with tricky)

And this game looks like its using 7 colors, No way that this is dithering
