3.4) Macintosh games notes:
|
||||
---- ----------------------
|
||||
All LucasArts SCUMM based adventures except COMI also exist in versions for the
|
||||
Macintosh. ScummVM can use most (all?) of them, however, in some cases some
|
||||
additional work is required. First off, if you are not using a Macintosh for
|
||||
this, accessing the CD/floppy data might be tricky, since the mac uses a
|
||||
special disk format called HFS which other systems usually do not support.
|
||||
However, there are various free tools on the net which allow reading such HFS
|
||||
volumes (for example "HFVExplorer" for Windows and "hfsutils" for Linux and
|
||||
other Unix-like operating systems).
|
||||
|
||||
This file is available on the 'Compatibility' page of the ScummVM
|
||||
website, you can place it in either the directory containing the other
|
||||
game data files (SKY.DNR, SKY.DSK), in your extrapath, or in the directory
|
||||
where your ScummVM executable resides.
|
||||
Secondly, most of the newer games shipped only with a single data file on the
|
||||
Macintosh. You used to have to manually convert that data file, but this is no
|
||||
longer necessary, as ScummVM can now open and understand the format natively.

||||

---- ------------------
|
||||
3.5) Multi-CD games notes:
|
||||
---- ---------------------
|
||||
In general, ScummVM does not deal very well with Multi-CD games. This is
|
||||
because ScummVM assumes everything about a game can be found in one directory.
|
||||
Even if ScummVM does make some provisions for asking the user to change CD, the
|
||||
original games usually install a small number of files to the hard disk. Unless
|
||||
these files can be found on all the CDs, ScummVM will be in trouble.
|
||||
|
||||
Fortunately, ScummVM has no problems running the games entirely from hard disk,
|
||||
if you create a directory with the correct combination of files. Usually, when
|
||||
a file appears on more than one CD you can pick either of them.
|
||||
|
||||
These instructions are written for the PC versions (which in some case is the
|
||||
only version) of the games. Windows and DOS use case-insensitive file systems,
|
||||
so if one CD has a file called MONKEY.DAT and another has a file called
|
||||
monkey.dat, they are the same files. These instructions give file names in all
|
||||
lower-case names, even if that's not always how they appear on the CDs. In
|
||||
fact, on case-sensitive file systems you will have to make sure that all
|
||||
filenames use either all upper- or all lower-case letters for ScummVM to be
|
||||
able to find the files.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3.6) The Curse of Monkey Island notes:
|
||||
---- ---------------------------------
|
||||
For this game, you'll need the comi.la0, comi.la1 and comi.la2 files. The
|
||||
comi.la0 file can be found on either CD, but since they are identical it
|
||||
doesn't matter which one of them you use.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, you'll need a resource subdirectory with all of the files from the
|
||||
resource subdirectories on both CDs. Some of the files appear on both CDs, but
|
||||
again they're identical.

||||

3.7) Broken Sword notes:

Broken Sword 1 and 2 both come with in-game cutscenes compressed using

---- --------------------------------
|

|

3.7.1) Broken Sword 1:
|
||||
------ ---------------
|
||||
For this game, you'll need all of the files from the clusters directories on
|
||||
both CDs. You will also need the speech.clu files from the speech directories,
|
||||
but since they are not identical you'll need to rename them speech1.clu and
|
||||
speech2.clu for CD 1 and 2 respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, you will need a music subdirectory with all of the files from the
|
||||
music subdirectories on both CDs. Some of these files appear on both CDs, but
|
||||
in these cases they are either identical or, in one case, so nearly identical
|
||||
that it makes little difference.
|
||||
|

ScummVM does not support the original cutscene files, so there is no need to

copy them.

3.7.2) Broken Sword 2:

------ ---------------
|
||||
For this game, you'll need all of the files from the clusters directories on
|
||||
both CDs. (Actually, a few of them may not be strictly necessary, but the ones
|
||||
that I'm uncertain about are all fairly small.) You will need to rename the
|
||||
speech.clu and music.clu files speech1.clu, speech2.clu, music1.clu and
|
||||
music2.clu so that ScummVM can tell which ones are from CD 1 and which ones are
|
||||
from CD 2. Any other files that appear in both cluster directories are
|
||||
identical. Use whichever you like.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, you will need the cd.bin, cd.inf and startup.inf files from the
|
||||
sword2 directory on CD 1.

ScummVM does not support the original cutscene files, so there is no need to
