Fate of atlantis on ubuntu?

[h-town]

I've been having headaches trying to get this game to work. I'm a huge fan of old school lucasarts adventure games and this is one of the few i've yet to play. So far I've been able to get it to run on xp using scummv but only with cheesy (subjective, i know) music, but I have the "talkie" version of the game which has a higher fedelity score and voice acting.

Has anyone had any success playing this version of the game on ubuntu? Or any similar LA game with full voice acting?

Scummv is avialable on Ubuntu too though... it doesn't work here?

It works for me, but the issue is the sound.

I've got scummvm on both my ubuntu and xp partitions, and I was just wondering if anyone out there has had success getting these games to work in their full glory. I've spent hours trying to get this game to work on xp and I'm fed up. I've played beneath a steel sky and it works wonderfully on linux, so I figure the lucas arts cames MUST play nice with linux too, albeit with a little tinkering. So far I can get fate of atlantis to run but with no sound at all.

It's really upsetting that lucascarts is distancing themselves from their past game titles, even though they are legendary. It'd be nice if they would rerelase the point and click games for xp/vista.. let alone linux. At least as a direct download, the market is huge for that sort of thing.

I have played it with dosbox but cannot give you more details unfortunately. It had no voice acting.

I've had no problem with talkies in Scummvm under Ubuntu. The only thing is I've been compiling scummvm from source rather than waiting for Ubuntu's repo version. I don't know if that would make a difference.

My advice is edit the settings for the games in general (in the scumm menu edit game, look at all the sound options) and/or within the game itself (press F5 go to options)
Other than that make sure you copied all the files off your media.

As for the other comments. Brilliant adventures, and when you have a fan maintained engine that runs on dozens of operating systems and devices, they could literally sell the data/music (without even updating a thing!) for pretty much anything and profit. Go figure.
