Beneath A Steel Sky has been playable through the ScummVM software for many years and I am pleased to announce that version 1.1 of my enhanced soundtrack is now available for you to use within the game, which will give everyone superior sounding music and not just those with powerful MIDI equipment.
This update includes the ‘ending’ music that was missing from version 1.0. Please make sure you install the latest daily build of ScummVM or version 1.4.2 or later (when released), otherwise a couple of the tracks will not play in the correct section.
To install, extract the music from the zip file and copy it to your Beneath A Steel Sky folder on your hard drive. For best quality (although not mandatory), start the ScummVM program and select Beneath A Steel Sky. Now select [Edit Game], switch to Audio tab, tick the ‘Overide Global Audio Settings’ and set Sample Rate to 44kHz.
If you enjoy my enhancements, please consider donating.
