Type 1 SMF files consist of multiple tracks that are to be played simultaneously
in parallel. Support for this was previously implemented by merging these tracks
into one single track, then treating the result as a regular type 0 SMF file.
This commit adds full support for type 1 files. The parallel tracks are loaded
as subtracks of the parent track and played simultaneously in real time. This
allows for support of MIDI formats with parallel subtracks that do not use the
SMF format (Dark Seed floppy version) or that jump to offsets within each
parallel subtrack (Origin MIDI).
Add it to engines that have MIDI playback.
This essentially compiles the emulator only when an engine that
can potentially use it (e.g. MIDI) is enabled
We need to disable the keymapper while entering a save game name.
This was addressed for some, but not all AGOS games in commit
c5422d4aab, in all cases where
userGameGetKey() is used
This class manages a buffer where all data usually stored in detection
plugin will get copied before unloading the plugin and starting the
game.
This class expects that two functions are present in every
GameDescription: sizeBuffer which calculates how many bytes we will need
to store the entry in RAM and toBuffer which copies the data in the
buffer and fix the pointers in the class.
At the end, it is expected that an ADDynamicGameDescription doesn't
depend anymore on data stored in the detection plugin.
The AD_GAME_DESCRIPTION_HELPERS macro allow to implement these functions
in all GameDescription which don't have any pointer except those in
ADGameDescription.
I don't have the floppy version of Simon 2, and I'm uncertain of the
actual effect of failing the copy protection in Waxworks and Simon 1.
But they are at the very least partly implemented.
It can be reproduced by clicking on the crystal ball icon.
From looking at disasm I think it happens in the original
in the same way. But this is a static memory area, so it
will always corrupt the same variable in the original
(_fcsData1[0]) which seems to cause no harm here.

The design for the timers is a bit sloppy, even the original
interpreter often writes negative timeouts into the save files.
We replicated this correctly, but treated these values as very
large positives which effectively disabled the timers.
The bug report is only about Waxworks, but I checked Elvira
and i have the same absurd timer values in my old savegames
there. It seems that the timers have little impact in most cases,
but in Waxworks there is a timer that runs every 10 seconds
which cleans up the items chain. And if that doesn't happen
it will lead to invalid item handles, like in that bug ticket.
This one is pretty obvious when comparing ScummVM
with DOSBox behaviour. After the cursor changes to
one of the arrow cursors, it often stays that way when
it should actually switch back to the normal cursor. I have
fixed it to match the original code.
zlib is used when available and falls back on gzio.
This allows performance improvements as our CRC32 and gzio
implementations are slower than base zlib.
As zlib is available when libpng is present, this is sensible to
benefit from it.
This change introduced several character animation regressions in the
game, which may seem as a worse experience than the original issue with
the pirate dialogue, for most end users (Trac#13997).
This reverts commit eb851041ed.
This adds detection entries for the German and French versions. All language
versions except Russian use WAV sound effects and GM SMF MIDI data, so the
platform is changed to Windows. These versions also contain the MT-32 MIDI data
in XMIDI format, so support for this is added as well. Finally, the MT-32 track
10 workaround has been updated to deal with these versions.
Adds detection entries for the new versions in the 25th Anniversary editions.
The remaining language versions are already detected.
To use the 25th Anniversary versions you have to copy the files from the
subdirectory of the language you want to use to the main directory, then detect
the main directory; or just detect without copying for English CD.
