AGS emulator music problem?

BuZz

@vdeG might be due to not compiling with enough libraries. Will look into it. Didn't know anyone used it :-)

That's also probably the reason you are not getting much feedback. It's not a popular package in RetroPie.

@BuZz for the record I never got sound running on it :p

vdeG

I dont know if it could help but I found someone on reddit that used to play the games with the sounds and video working fine, a couple of months ago.. He had a problem with his SD Card, he reinstalled everything and now he has the same problem as me, so I guess it something changed with the emulator in the last months.

I dont know why it is not popular.. Adventure games are so epic!! ;)

vdeG

@BuZz Let me know if you can't reproduce the problem! ;)

vdeG

@herb_fargus do you mean no sound at all? In my case some music play, but some don't.. and all the speech doesn't play..

@vdeG I never got sound running but people on the old forum said they did so probably missing a dependency or something but idk. I don't use it.

vdeG

@BuZz do you think I could be missing a dependency? I think I have the package that reads OGV files.. but maybe I am missing something..

BuZz

@vdeG I don't know. I've not had time to look into it yet. I'll open ticket on our bugtracker though when I have free time.

@BuZz ok ok!! Thanks a lot for your support!! ;)

I don't know why do you have a problem ... ??
I have a Retropi 4.2 official release, i have install AGS last week, nothing more ...
Today i try some games because i love ScummVM and these games P&C.

I try many games and for all i have the Sound & the Music.
For games with Voices, i have all of them.

List of games try :

Archeos v1.7
A Tale of Two Kingdoms
Before the Dark Cristal 2
Christmas Quest 1 & 2
King's Quest 1 v4.1
King's Quest 2 v3.1
King's Quest 3 v1.1
Maniac Mansion Deluxe
Quest for Glory 2 v2.0
The Journey Down v1.01

My only problems are :

We must use a Keyboard and a Mouse :p
It can be the best if we could map the mouse on the Analog Stick of our Pad :)
ES show directories and we must open them to show .EXE files and some times there are many exe.
Is it possible to found a way to launch BAT files or SH files and hide the directories ?
It is not beautiful to use like that with Covers and videos ... :(

Games crashing :

Heroine's Quest - The Herald of Ragnarock v1.2.5
I try the LINUX and WINDOWS version and nothing :( Maybe it is so recent ? (07 June)
I can't also DL and understand how to have the last french translation too ...
If you can help me with this game ? :)

Terror of the Vampire (1 Jul 2017) So recent to ?
Maybe we must stand an engine update on PI for these games ?

Resurrecting an old topic, but just a note that if you update RetroPie-Setup to version 4.3.8 or later and reinstall AGS, MIDI playback should now work correctly - no need to install the GUS patches manually. AGS content will also automatically appear in EmulationStation without the need to manually edit any files. I've removed the obsolete instructions from the RetroPie wiki.
