ScummVM and BS2 for DC?

I saw that newest ver. of ScummVM is compatible with Broken Sword 2. I tried polish ver. (that I have) with PC emu and it working fine (there are polish signs), and I have a questions. Â*

1. There is a save option in DC ver. to VMS (and how many blocks is needed to save)?

2. Polish ver. of BS2 will not crash emulation on DC (You know - polish signs)?

I don't remember. Keep 40 blocks open to be safe, and you should be fine as I'm positive it's not more than that. ;)

It does crash however in a few spots. There are certain cutscenes that causes the Dreamcast to freeze up. These are able to be skipped by presing ESC on either a real keyboard or the onscreen one. Also, you cant insert disc 2 when disc 1 is over, so it's not completable.

I have only one CD and it is a full version of Broken Sword 2 so if I will always skip cutscenes (I must know where they are to do it fast? it is possibble?) I will be able to finish whole game (in theory ofcourse)?

I've not tried BS2 for a while on the DC so I've got a few questions for you MetaFox (if you don't mind ;))...

Which version of ScummVM gives you the results you've posted about?.

Might it be possible to encode smaller cutscenes (edited)?, just curious if it'll prevent any crashes, I know it'll take something away from the story but I just want to see if it'll work.

Is there any way of saving the game at the end of disc 1 and then booting ScummVM again, loading disc 2 and reverting to the save?

The ones I'm talking about are in the actual engine itself, so no.

Disc swapping isn't supported at all, or at least wasn't when I last tried it.

You might be able to swap in disc 2 while disc 1 is still reading at the end of disc 1 before the loading screen comes up, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks for all the info MetaFox :).
