[SOLVED] Phantasmagoria cutscenes cut in a quarter

Support
1

Hello there,

Phantasmagoria graphics for dialog cutscenes (including the intro) gets cut in a quarter of the original size, like in a cartesian diagram it takes the upper left quadrant.
It happens only with ScummVM, not with DosBox, but this is the only installer available that uses original CD images.
Also, on the very first image of the cutscene, the one with the autumn forest landscape, when Curtis is setting up the camera tripod, Curtis image is absent. Perhaps this correlates with the log saying “Skipping blacklisted patch file 65535.map”.

See that the images are cut, like the best part is left out.

Stupid forum would not let me post more than 2 links a 1 picture, so please attach the corresponding sufix to the pastebin url https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/:

Many thanks for any pointers, I would be happy to know where to look at to help

You should update your ScummVM version and use it in Lutris:

  1. if installed uninstall ScummVM Lutris runner
  2. install Scummvm 2.9, Flatpak version or from your Linux distribution depot
  3. in Lutris Scumm Runner menu, executable
    for ScummVM Flatpak: org.scummvm.ScummVM
    for ScummVM installed from your Linux distribution, path to the executable, should be /usr/bin/scummvm

Brilliant, it worked!

This is really weird, as the version provided by Ubuntu apt seems to be the same:

ScummVM 2.8.0 (Apr  1 2024 07:59:36)
Using SDL backend with SDL 2.30.0
Features compiled in: TAINTED Vorbis FLAC MP3 ALSA SEQ sndio TiMidity RGB zLib MPEG2 FluidSynth EAS MikMod Theora VPX AAC A/52 FreeType2 FriBiDi JPEG PNG GIF TTS cloud (servers, local) ENet SDL2 TinyGL OpenGL (with shaders)

I am unable to launch lutris’ provided scummvm as I go down a dependency hell that halts to a missing symbol, but I can remember in the startup splash screen I can see a git reference in the scummvm version, like we are using a snapshot version.

Anyway, thanks a lot!
