[Scummvm-devel] Bug hunt

[Max Horn]

Hi folks,

the number of open bug reports has been growing steadily in the  
recent past, to now well over 160. Not a surprise considering the  
many additional supported games and ports. Still, it would be nice to  
get down to a more reasonable count. Therefore, I have been combing  
through the bug reports once again recently.

So, here's a list with open bug report for which I think we could  
advance their status a bit, or even resolve them, if just the right  
people took a look. I'll try to explain for each item how one could  
help (you can always help by fixing the issue, of course :-). Oh, and  
one doesn't have to be a team member to help with this.

Hint: To quickly surf to any of these bugs, use the URL <https:// 
sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=NUM> where NUM is replaced by  
the bug id.


* The following issues need to be (a) confirmed and/or (b) the  
behavior compared to the original interpreter, if possible.
[ 1621210 ] FOA: Kerner counts incorrectly during end sequence
[ 1509509 ] INDY3 (MAC): Grail diary bug in library
[ 1537373 ] KYRA1: Crash when meeting Zanthia
[ 1521530 ] MANIAC: some bugs?
[ 1603519 ] MI: crash when pouring melting mug on lock
[ 1536993 ] PSP: BS1 scrolling sync issue
[ 1529248 ] SDL: Mouse doesn't work right in full screen.
[ 1598553 ] SDL/X11: Wrong fullscreen rendering in portrait mode

* This Simon 2 crash only occurs in the German version, and also in  
the original -- maybe somebody can implement a workaround?
[ 1600999 ] SIMON2: Crash while talking to Bingo Bongo

* For this, it would be good to have a tester with an AZERTY  
keyboard. Ideally on Mac, but it would also be interesting to know  
whether this works better on other systems:
[ 1643848 ] MACOSX: Unable to save/load using numbers on AZERTY keyboard

* The following is a design issue. My idea to resolve it is to remove  
the current dir from the standard search paths if an explicit "path"  
has been specified. Feel free to comment, even if it is only to say  
"Nay" or "Yay" to my "solution" :)
[ 1597208 ] ALL: Current directory as default path

* One of our oldest. Anybody know something about Adlib and how it  
works? You might be able to help here!
[ 1159581 ] ADLIB: Adlib Emulation doesn't Respect Volume Settings


There are also a ton of open bug reports for GOB2, Kyra, MM NES, MI2  
FM-TOWNS.  And of course, the MT-32 emulator code seems to have  
completely stalled, too :-/. And there are many more bugs and bug  
reports out there -- fixing any of them is much appreciated. :)


Cheers,
Max
