Testing Blade Runner with ScummVM
1 Thu Apr 11, 2019 9:27 am
Quick setup instructions (with screenshots)
32 posts [I] 2 3 >
First, here are some pages you can refer to for Blade Runner support in ScummVM:
• News announcement for testing Blade Runner with ScummVM: Blade Runners Needed!
• Blade Runner (ScummVM wiki)
• User Manual: Installing a game for use with ScummVM (Blade Runner)
• Required files for the game directory
• ScummVM Issue Tracker, to report any bugs you find
You don't need the third party installer or any patch to run Westwood's Blade Runner with ScummVM. You
also don't need to install the game from its original installer; the original installer will not work on
modern 64bit operating systems anyway.
Short summary
Grab the latest daily development build of ScummVM for your Operating System. Launch ScummVM and
press "Add Game...". You just have to navigate into the game folder and then press on the "Choose"
button. You won’t see anything in the folder itself from ScummVM, this is normal. Just press "Choose"
and then if the proper files are in the folder, ScummVM will open a window "Pick the game" with two
options. Choose the top one (simple "Blade Runner") rather than the "Blade Runner with restored
content".
Here's a How-to with screenshots
1. Download the most recent development build of ScummVM for your Operating System and platform,
and install it. You can always find the latest updates and bug fixes in these builds for the game, so you
check if a bug you’ve found in the game is already fixed by testing with the latest development build.
2. The screenshot below shows how the game folder looks in Windows 10 x64, after copying the required
data files from the 4 CDs and renaming the CDFRAMES.DAT file from each CD, as per the instructions to
CDFRAMES1.DAT, CDFRAMES2.DAT, CDFRAMES3.DAT, CDFRAMES4.DAT based on which CD they came from.
This game folder includes the SUBTITLES.MIX file, which is optional and provides support for subtitles in
the game. The SUBTITLES.MIX is found in the respective zip file that can be downloaded from the
ScummVM games downloads page.

Hello.
First step is to make sure you’ve extracted the Subtitles file in the Blade Runner game directory. Can you
see the SUBTITLES.MIX file in there in your folder like in the following image?

either activate both speech audio and subtitles from the ScummVM menu (Click Edit Game with
Blade Runner selected) like in the following image

Start
Load...
Add Game...
Edit Game...
Remove Game
Options...
About...
Quit
• Or launch the game, open the KIA (press Esc) and go to Options. You should see a Subtitles

I just wanted to do a quick test to see if i can reproduce ©Anoymousx' issue, but i only get a complete
white screen when starting BladeRunner and lots of those errors in console
66
User picked target 'bladerunner-final-win' (gameid 'bladerunner-final')...
Looking for a plugin supporting this gameid... Blade Runner
Starting 'Blade Runner with restored content'
WARNING: GL ERROR: GL.INVALID.OPERATION on glTexlmage2D(0x0DE1, 0, _gllntFormat, .width,

Download SUBTITLES.MIX from ScummVM's website to enable subtitles

(backends/graphics/opengl/texture.cpp:168)!
The last one is the one that keeps repeating while the game seems to run in the background.
That is with the OpenGL renderer and the "Game with restored content"
edit: Same with the "Normal" Game.
As soon as i pick any other renderer the game plays fine, so there seems to be a problem with OpenGL.
(I do remember having the very same problem with videos in "The Curse of Monkey Island" on residualvm,
so if you find the cause i could update my issue item there as well) (§>
Also, since OpenGL and SDL2 are still in development on my platform, i d be grateful for any pointers i
could pass along to the devs to maybe fix problems on our end...

You have an old file. Can you download the newest from here please and try again?

Please make sure that you have added in ScummVM the above directory in your screenshot for Blade
Runner, and not another one. If the SUBTITLES.MIX file is there, it should detect it and show the option.

Yes, I’ve just tried with OpenGL rendered and I see those errors too. No idea as of yet why this happens
but we'll look into it.

©Raziel, did you have this issue on Windows 10 with Msys2 or on another platform / toolchain? Or was it
for an official development build?
I've pushed a PR fix for builds on Windows 10 with Msys2/Mingw(64 or 32). You can read about it here:
