\subsection{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.
