Runs great with ScummVM via Luxtorpeda

1 year ago

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: Luxtorpeda

Control Layout:Switch To Community Layout: GK2 ScummVM Bindings

Graphics:Other

ScummVM loads at default with SDL Surface rendering, which causes some shimmering issues. Under Global Options, switch Graphics Mode to OpenGL and set the shader to interpolation/sharp-bilinear-simple.glslp for best results.

While the game does run on the Steam Deck without Luxtorpeda, the ScummVM interpretation provides a much better experience than running the Windows version directly through Proton.

Works fine if you avoid touching the touchscreen

Audio:Crackling, Other

Some stuttering also

Input:Responsiveness

If the touchscreen is used the right D pad because unresponsive, answer was to not touch the touchscreen.

Fine but touchscreen issues and audio crackling.

DOSBox game. Runs fine, though the fading in/out is rather slower than it should be, and the pause before the menu appears is several seconds longer than on Windows
