Missing support for laurabow2 (SCI engine) #2

Closed ner00 closed 1 year ago

ner00 commented 1 year ago

One of the games in my collection is Laura Bow 2: The Dagger of Amon Ra (CD/DOS/English), but apparently it's unsupported in v2.6.1 which doesn't make a lot of sense since it's present in the source, like for example: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/4bf45d922baaf68552c9936491d34361ffb467f2/engines/sci/detection_tables.h#L2570

I considered the possibility of it being a WIP engine, but did not recompile to test for that; besides it's been supported for a long time: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=The_Dagger_of_Amon_Ra

I have a few other games that use the SCI engine and those run great, also the fact that standalone v2.6.1 plays this particular game just fine adds to my confusion on this one.

If this is normal, is there a way for me to enable this one game in some way?

Seems I jumped the gun on this one... for whatever reason the game entry was messed inside scummvm.ini. For one the entry was missing the engineid parameter, and secondly it had gameid=sci which... isn't right and could only have happened if I accidentally edited the file I suppose. Fixed now.
