Running old games with 3.6.2 engine

Sphonx
The game softlocks after the first scene, in the sleeping chambers. Mouse is movable, but hotspots do not occur. Menu can be called but not interacted with.

First of all, is it the "demo" of this game you are playing, or a full game? The download link from AGS database is for the demo, so I have to clarify this.

Second, I cannot reproduce the problem... could you double check what is happening?

How about that resolution thing with black bars on top and bottom in some games? Is there a way to stretch them to whole screen? Settings don't do it even if there are adjustments to that.

Which games for example?

In older versions of AGS there has been a setting called "letterbox" mode, where game would display 320x200 scenes in a 320x240 frame. That's done "by design" and cannot be changed, at least not easily, as the same game in theory may have both 320x200 and 320x240 scenes, and switch between them; and engine cannot know that beforehand, so it has to assume 320x240 game when displaying a window.

Edit: Yeah, the demo does not have this issue at all. Works like a charm.
Examples of those games with resolution issues:
- Apprentice 2
- Astranded
- Bar Runner

As for the Sphonx issue, I'm playing a full version of the game. Did not try the demo yet. I have tried almost everything I can think of, I've exhausted tens of different configuration combinations, deleted the cfg files and saves, and even all files and unzipped them from the original package again. Nothing helps.

Edit: Yeah the demo doesn't have this issue at all. Works beautifully.

How much is it in disk size? Would you be able to upload it somewhere, like googledrive or similar file hosting, and send me a link via PM?

Idk what the price is, but I don't like buying games which i don't play myself and only test engine on...
