[16:26] <grogbot> [discord] <.eriktorbjorn> One thing I don't like about the FM Towns version of Loom is that the music never shuts up. While it sounds like a good idea on paper, it gets a bit grating when it just keeps looping over and over. It can also drown out the sound effects a bit, so Expert mode is harder than usual.
[16:27] <-- LePhilousophe left irc: Ping timeout: 268 seconds
[16:28] <grogbot> [discord] <.eriktorbjorn> So while I consider myself lucky to have found an affordable copy of the FM Towns version (many years ago on eBay), overall I still prefer the EGA version.

[17:45] <grogbot> [discord] <invwar> the EGA version is really beatiful
[18:29] <grogbot> [discord] <somaen> A case study in dithering indeed.
[18:30] <grogbot> [discord] <somaen> https://youtu.be/aMcJ1Jvtef0?si=1ypQkDfDtzmKeVwt is a good take on the techniques involved.

[19:35] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> > After watching the news at the bar after the second day, the screen would just go blank and the game would wait forever. Eventually I found that lowering the detail and speed in the game settings before entering this sequence would allow the script to progress.
[19:35] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> Is this a known bug?

[19:48] <grogbot> [discord] <djottt> Do I need different versions of The Secret of Monkey Island or can I tweak ScummVM settings to produce either graphics output?

[19:50] <grogbot> [discord] <djottt> I tried changing the Game Options... > Graphics > Render mode setting but wasn't able to achieve left side image, default seems to be right side image
[19:59] <grogbot> [discord] <somaen> The left image is from the EGA version, the right is from VGA. You cant convert between them with settings alone.
[20:08] <grogbot> [discord] <Digitall> Not sure... The current ScummVM SCI engine has a number of PQ4 patches and alot are related to timing, but that particular situation is not noted so might be a good idea to try to replicate with the latest master ... and if it happens, file a bug and nudge @sluicebox 🙂
[20:09] --> borosky joined #scummvm.
[20:12] <grogbot> [discord] <Digitall> There are two open PQ4 bugs, but they are both associated with the Morgue scene i.e. bugs #9846 and 9852
