Copying from CD

Post by Adam »

I have got a copy of Simon the Sorcerer 1 & 2 on CD, and I would like to copy them onto my imac to run under ScummVM. I'm just wondering what are the core files I need to copy? Do I need all the files, or only some of them?

I've had a look through the forums and FAQs, but couldn't find anything.

By the way, the possibility of being able to play Discworld again is the most exciting news for a long time. Please continue the great work!

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that one. It's been over a year now since it was first said that someone would provide the source code for it. :(

Yeah, I noticed it seemed to have dragged on somewhat, that said "where there's a will, there's a way". Anyway, copies of the games are selling for between £30 and £60, so it proves people still want to play them!
