You can use the Kxploit. A search on Yahoo should turn it up.

Also, can the games be zipped up? I don't have a large enough memory stick to put The Dig on there :(

I just BSOD'd in Full Throttle on a 1.50 US PSP. Image of the dump I got: http://www.imgsatellite.com/u/05/198/03/PSPBSOD.jpg I tried this with both a compressed MONSTER.SO3 and the original MONSTER.SOU files, and it seems to be a problem with the sound since the hex adresses change in some instances with different versions of the sound file. I sadly don't have pics of the dumps for the others, so you'll just have to believe me until I can recreate the error later when I've recharged the batteries in my cam. This dump is from a MONSTER.SO3 file encoded in 24kbps VBR with the "SCUMMVMQ+E Additional Tools".

This error ocurred at the beginning of the game when you set off the alarm on the fuel tower and hide in the shadows, right after the start of the cutscene just when the chopper pilots are beginning to talk. I can probably get a video dump of this BSOD happening if it's of any interest. Still need batteries in my cam, though...

I also compressed Curse of Monkey Island to fit on my memstick, and the game worked in a way, but the screen was divided in four rectangles, each showing the top left of the game screen. I can almost safely claim that this is due to the game being in 640x480 in stead of 320x240. Is it possible to do a resize filter for this game so I can play it on the PSP? The game also ran a bit slow, but not so slow as to be unplayable. I may be asking for a lot, but a speed fix for this if you get the resize working would also be nice.

Otherwise, keep up the very good work! You kept me up all night last night playing DOTT, and I've been up this night too fiddling with old adventure games.

It's great to be geek! Who else would be excited about ten to fifteen year old games running on newly released hardware?

Hmm... Again in Full Throttle there's a BSOD. When you start the game and press R directly when you see the LucasArts logo you BSOD. Could be that you're too fast for the game and/or the PSP to hang with you. This happens every time, but by waiting a second or two there is no BSOD.

Also BSOD'd once more ingame, but when I attempted to reproduce it didn't show, so I guess that's a one-time ocurrence.

I've finished DoTT (with compressed monster sound), Monkey Island 2 (cd version) and Maniac Mansion (EGA) with Bernard & Razor now on beta 2.

I've gotten som problems with Monkey Island 1 CD version with mp3 music tracks though. Sometimes it fails to save/autosave the game (about every 10th time) and one needs to restart ScummVM for the saving/loading to work again, and the game hangs up when I'm at the last part (Guybrush kicks butt), it just displays the final part screen forever.

Loom CD seems to work, but I've not finished it yet.

Maniac Mansion NES doesn't work with any display mode I've tested, the mouse input is wrong. And when I try to select another language then english in the menu options ScummVM gets a BSoD.

Been fooling around a bit more to see if I can trick the system into not showing a BSOD in the Full Throttle scenario I described above, but so far no luck. I've uploaded the save file to http://www.highgame.net/uploads/ft.s00 so if anyone wants to help out, see if you get a BSOD after loading that save. All you have to do is to touch the ladder and go hide in the shadows.

I'm sure it would also help the devs if you post a pic of or write out the BSOD if it happens.

Well, here's a save from Monkey Island 1 (CD version) that should hang up on the guybrush kicks butt screen. Just finish the talk with Bob & Herman, and then it should show.

I'll test that ft save soon.

Ok, got the same problem here with Full Throttle, but that savegame you provided didn't work here though, so I had to play the game up to that point. Got BSoD after they started talking. "Remain where...", then BSoD.

Tested with original uncompressed monster.sou and without videos (since I don't have enough space on my memory stick).

Another Full Throttle savegame:

http://haggar.emuunlim.com/ft.zip

This one is right before the demolition derby.
About 30 sec into the derby you get a BSoD.

And there's random hangups during the old mine road if you spend too much time there too.

Same problem in the demolition derby for me too. BSOD after about 15-20 seconds.

Mike: I sent you a PM a while ago, you might wanna look at it.

EDIT: This BSOD does not happen in the July 18 build of OCVS on PC, so it seems to be a PSP-problem only. I moved my save over to the PC to du the demolition derby there, and moved it back to teh PSP after that. Works fine again now, will post back if any additional problems.

Since everyone else is posting bug reports, I might as well join in.. :)

not sure if this is a bug or merely an unimplemented feature, but:
on monkey island 2 (ahh, memories!) - whenever I put the psp into standby, then back out, it mentions something about not being able to save, then plays for about a second then bsods.
also home->'yes, i wanna quit' hangs at the please wait, whilst quitting via the menu works fine.

(i can post more details (if required) when i get home to my psp; ~8hrs after posting time)

all in all tho, great work - keep it up!

cheriff: that "Home"-button bug is known and also in the readme.

I've now finished Full Throttle, and I only encountered the two bugs/BSODs I've already mentioned.

Now, if only COMI would display properly...

Finished Flight of the Amazon Queen CD now.

Getting a hangup in The Dig:
http://haggar.emuunlim.com/digsave.zip

Just as those other two people go off screen the game hangs. I used compressed sound and music files, maybe that's why it got screwy?

Simon 1 & 2 seems to work fine, but one miss 'Enter' to save games and 'Y' to quit the game (and 'N' to not quit).

strikeuk has a point... I'll stop nagging and help in stead.

Fate of Atlantis just finished in "team"-mode without a single hitch.

I think this is more of a Software topic than general discussion.

I notice that people are playing Monkey 1, but when I load it, I get no sound. Other games work like:

Indy: FOA
Loom
Monkey 2
DOTT

Any Ideas? Also Sam and Max hangs up with a blue screen after the Lucasarts logo screen.

Thanks for the great work!

Hmm... Just finished Beneath a Steel Sky CD version. Got one random BSoD, dunno why. Worked fine again on restart. It was a bit odd though, with the music continuing in the backgrond of the BSoD.
