I think the button is grayed when the instant save/load is not supported by the game/engine, so it's maybe a scummvm thing : https://goo.gl/3BYrcJ
Could you impliment a feature for me? the ability to have saves and games stored in the games savedata folder (ux0:/user/00/savedata/vscu00001/ folder so its games and things can be gotten by CMA i spent several hours altering it myself but i cannot get it to compile (unaltered as well)

Hello,

I am having trouble finding the .vpk file in the download from the first post.

I'm either being very stupid or it's just not there.

Can someone help?

Thanks

That file only is a vpk... (It's right that vpk files can be opend with a archive program since they are just not-compressed zip files. Probably you used a browers that automaticly unzips zip-downloads [I think Safari does it as default setting])

Well, for some reason, inside vitashell 1.51 or MolecularShell 1.4something, it is reading the scummvm download as a zip. So, unlike other .vpk that you click on then it installs, instead it is just opening the folder/zip/vpk up and showing what's inside it. Actually on the psvita when trying to install it.

Is this something I've done wrong here, or maybe it's something to do with the scummvm install .vpk and the updated vitashells?

I don't know, I'm stuck.

I have some trouble with the analog stick mouse pointer movement. It seems as if the mouse pointer tends to stop and "get stuck" whenever I move the analog stick all the way into one direction. It makes for a very jerky and extremely frustrating and unreliable mouse pointer movement.

The same problem happens (or used to happen, I haven't tested the latest Android build) in the Android version of ScummVM, but it is not happening in the PSP version.

I suspect there is some bug or problem in the ScummVM source with the conversion of analog axis values to mouse pointer movements, but it is hard to tell. It is weird because the mouse pointer does not always stop. Just sometimes.

Hi :)
Yes i have spent some time in the past on this problem without any success. I'm actually updating to latest sdk/libs and merged changes since last time I checked. I also have to port libflac again as I forgot to upload sources and loss them :) I should be done soon and may take another look.

I fixed that problem with the analog joystick. @cpasjuste I made a pull request to your repo just now.

I made another improvement, which makes fullscreen mode look _much_ better if you turn filtering and 2x on. Pull request to Cpasjuste made.

The release vpk is here:
www.github.com/rsn8887/scummvm/releases

CHANGELOG (of this modded version):

1.02

  • much better gfx quality in fullscreen mode: turning gfx filtering on now works as expected, and "2x+fullscreen+filtering on" looks amazingly good now, because of the integer prescale it acts like a sharp-bilinear filter (new default)

Great stuff thanks.

I had a problem with the GUI.
The menu looked like VGA which made it go green etc.
Randomly changes back to the green on it's own.

Also game list does not save so clears after restart.

Is there a config file that keeps settings as I cannot find one.

I improved the analog pointer some more. Some games like Dreamweb still had a jerky mousepointer. I fixed that and also increased the smoothness and speed resolution the analog pointer.

The release vpk is here:
www.github.com/rsn8887/scummvm/releases

CHANGELOG (of this modded version):

1.04

  • More fixes to jerky analog joystick pointer for some engines such as Dreamweb that the previous fix did not apply to
1.03

  • SDL: smoother analog pointer motion

BTW I forgot to mention: With my latest release at
www.github.com/rsn8887/scummvm/releases

to get the new beautiful fullscreen mode, you have to make sure to set the graphics to "2x," set "fullscreen ON," and "graphics filtering ON", and then also quit and RESTART the app. The options are not all applied unless you restart after changing them. Fullscreen mode is beautiful now. Those three options combine to give the effect of the sharp-bilinear-simple filter just as in uae4all2, even though ScummVM doesn't support shaders.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
