Oracle database for Hotel booking

erolfi — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 18:44:03 +0000

This database is derived from a team work that we made back at university. Its purpose is to manage reservation for hotel rooms and beach locations. It’s written in PL/SQL and works on Oracle version 8, 9 or 10. As other academic material here published, it’s oriented to an Italian-speaking audience. Also the project documentation is in Italian.

CORBA sample in Java

erolfi — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 18:16:06 +0000

This is a sample Java distributed application, making use of JacORB, that I developed for a classwork during my university career. It is fully functional, although it is only in Italian.
The scope of this application is the management of Work Groups. After a certain number of workers submits their application for a job, a new Workgroup is created and then all the workers are notified of their new role.

A.SCI (assembler for SCI1.1/SCI32)

erolfi — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:58:32 +0000

A.SCI, the first Assembler for the Sierra Creative Interpreter versions 1.1 and 2 (SCI32), entirely written in C++.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not a compiler; basically, it’s a disassembler with an assembler to reverse the process, which allows for minor changes to games. Use at your own risk! Double check your game after doing deep modifications to it!

MacSCI Utils

erolfi — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:11:14 +0000

This is a package of utilities that was part of my old Quest for Glory 4 on Mac project. Basically these utilities should allow conversion from the PC version of the game data, to the Mac format, which is different in many things. This project was never brought to completion due to the pointlessness that it gained when DosBox came out, allowing for a perfect emulation of DOS games. I’m releasing now all the stuff, sourcecode included, just as a curiosity.

ScummVM 0.2 for MacOS Classic

erolfi — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:05:42 +0000

This is an old version of the popular ScummVM engine. At the time I made this, I was working as a Macintosh porter for this project, and I also fixed a number of bugs that surfaced in the Macintosh version mostly due to its big-endianess.

erolfi — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:57:32 +0000

Monkey Island 2 v.1.5.1 update

erolfi — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:37:56 +0000

Back to 2002, again. That’s the SCUMM engine from Fate of Atlantis 1.5 modified to work with Monkey Island 2. It fixes some minor music bugs from version 1.0 and it’s recommended for Power Macintosh. It also has major improvements in the interpreter engine and a better sound handling.
Usage - Launch the “Monkey Island 2 Updater” program and select your copy of the LeChuck’s Revenge application. Both 1.0 and 1.2 versions are supported, but for the patch to work you will need to copy your Monkey 2 folder on an unlocked disk (such as your hard disk). Once succesfully applied, double click on the LeChuck’s Revenge v.1.5.1 icon to start game. If you get a “Invalid Saved Game (23,22)” error when trying to load a saved game, this is an indication that you will need to launch the game from the new LeChuck’s Revenge v1.5.1 icon.

erolfi — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:08:36 +0000

This is an update that I made back in 2006 to avoid keeping CDRoms in the drive while playing. It was also an experiment on PPC assembly.

Known Bugs: Characters appear in wrong colours when using MacOS 8.1 or an older system version.

SCI Resource Dumper modded 1.2.3

erolfi — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:56:35 +0000

SCI Resource Dumper 1.2.3 is able to extract data from SCI1.1 and SCI32
Sierra games other than Eco Quest I and Police Quest I (VGA). The program is copyright Vladimir Gneushev, but I have changed this version in order to support other SCI1.1 games like Quest for Glory I (VGA). Minor bugs were also fixed (more info in the sourcecode).

SCI Decoder VGA modded 1.1

erolfi — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:54:32 +0000

SCI Decoder VGA 1.1 is used to extract and display data from Police Quest I (VGA), Eco Quest I and other SCI games. The version here posted is not the original one by Carl Muckenhoupt. I changed a few lines of code to support Police Quest. I’m not sure if this breaks compatibility with earlier games, however Eco Quest I still works fine.

Dark Seed patch for Mac

erolfi — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:48:46 +0000

I made this patch back in 2002. It is meant to solve the following problem when trying to play Dark Seed on recent MacOS versions: while playing, an OS error 25 (out of memory) happens. Now it should be playable till the end.

To use this program, simply drag it into your Dark Seed game folder and run it.

Space Quest IV patch for Mac

erolfi — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:46:22 +0000

This is a patch that I made back in 2002. It is meant to solve the following problems when trying to play SQ4 on recent MacOS versions.

- The game was forced to run in 24 bit addressing mode, like oldest system did. It no longer crashes when started up.
- Time was not correctly handled by the KGetTime function which made a wrong use of the OS Time variable.

To use this program, simply drag it into your Space Quest IV game folder and run it.

Space Quest III patch for Mac

erolfi — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:41:57 +0000

This is a patch that I made back in 2002. It is meant to solve the following problems when trying to play SQ3 on recent MacOS versions.

Also, I’ve found that there’s no sound driver capable of sounding out on Power Macintoshes. This bug has not been solved (yet).
