I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream Mac version support?

Hi everyone,

Is the Mac version of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream supported by ScummVM 0.10 or the latest SVN?

I checked the list of required data files as well as the compatibility page but there is no mention of the Mac version being supported.

Furthermore does anyone know if an an installer must be run on the Mac version to access the files required by ScummVM ? I only have access to Windows and Linux machines so I'm hopping all I need is HFVExplorer to translate the HFS file system.

Welcome

Could you please list the files of your Mac version CD-ROM?

I found a Mac version of the game for sale but I wanted to find out if it was supported before I buy it. I don't own the game yet. Thanks for your quick response.

P.S. Is there a specific file in the SVN that lists all the supported games such as The Secret of Monkey Island (256 color) (CD)? I briefly looked at advancedDetector.cpp but I didn't see the file it uses to lookup known md5 values.

Yes, you may have a look at this file:
http://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/view ... iew=markup

The commented out files are needed, but they're not detected by the advanced detector (they're checked from the game engine itself)

Thanks for the link.

In detection_tables.h all the versions of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream contain Common::kPlatformPC (example see line 648).

However Inherit the earth - MAC CD Guild version uses Common::kPlatformMacintosh

Does this mean that detection for the Mac version of IHNM hasn't been added? The doxygen documentation for the Platform enum says "This may be optional or required, depending on the game engine and the game in question."

Anyone who has the Mac version of IHNM please post a file listing.

Well, the only version of IHNM we got is the PC version (which is the most widespread one), so currently there's no support for the Mac version. Though, in some cases the Mac version is the same as the PC one repackaged with a different executable file, or conains the same files but in big-endian format instead of little-endian
