Game and ScummVM crashes after first intro cinematic, while door opens and Roger Wilco appears. This is the terminal input:

WARNING: Attempt to read character from non-raw data!
WARNING: Error 6 occurred while reading sound.311 from resource file RESOURCE.000: Unknown compression method!
WARNING: resMan: Failed to read sound.311!
Segmentation fault.

    Unable to reproduce this here.

    As the error message says, the game's RESOURCE.000 file is most likely corrupted. Try copying it from the original disk and see if this fixes things

    It doesn't fix it. I managed to disable music and see if it works, but with no success.
    Then I turned on music again, and now, I don't know why, I can see Roger Wilco coming into the first room... BUT this is what I get, just before game crashes.

    scummvm: engines / sci / resource.cpp: 997: void Sci:: ResourceManager:: unlockResource (Sci:: Resource *): Assertion 'res' failed.
    Canceled

    What's happening?

    Which version of SQ1VGA is this? Check inside the VERSION file
    What language is it?

    This sound is the door opening sound. Can you please provide the size of your RESOURCE.000 file? It does look like the file is damaged... thus there isn't much we can do about it, I'm afraid

    I'm not the original submitter, but I found the same problem. And it works fine with DosBox.

    The RESOURCE.000 file is 970657 bytes long, and its md5sum (complete, not just the first bytes) is:

    6f3a90f01b872645113a5ee4bc522c0e

    It may be corrupted, as it's from a downloaded copy. I have the floppies, but I don't know if they are still readable, and I have no easy to use floppy drive at the moment. I'll try to read them one of these days, maybe next week.

    OK, I could read at least some of the floppies. The RESOURCE.000 file is indeed different, and this one works fine. Its md5 checksum is:

    9438f0e07ca63703b544513c91e9c4f0

    Still, the original interpreter does not crash with the wrong file (in DosBox)
