Baggins: Well, if you hit CTRL F5 in the game... You will bring up scummVm's settings, if you click on go to launcher you can check the settings... The settings udner "Engine" has a checkbox for use High resolution MPEG video", so at least SCUMMVM is supposed to be able to use them... This feature is already checked...
So maybe the files are not in the right place that ScummVM is supposed to read them... I'm still trying to find any information on SCUMM's side, that might discuss what the file structure should be....
Note you can't just manually run this game in ScummVM, it also needs some fonts places in specific folders and places... before it will run.. I haven't found all the fonts it needs, or tried to put them in the locations it says to put them yet... But if you are willing to test this and let me know what happens... It would be great...
kittyteddy: I am one step ahead of you. I have already tested this out last night, as I was so disappointed by the video quality in the game. Switching on the Mpeg option in the options in ScummVm launcher or off has no apparent improvement to the video quality. I wonder why Activision never even bothered to touch up their own logo video.
