Amiga ADF Games in Scummvm

Post by fxgopher »

Hi

I've got some amiga Games that I've owned and know want to use them in Scummvm. I can't get them to work or be recognised in Scuuvm.

For Example - Maniac Mansion - 2 Discs

I've used the adfopus and extracted the files, I've tried leaving them as 2 directorys as per the discs & also tried merging the files together in one directory after they've been extracted

I then go into Scummvm, and try to add the game, point it into the directory and tell it to choose - the program can't find anything.

What am I doing wrong and can anyone help me out

Thanks
Frank

The files needed by ScummVM to detect a game are listed here: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles

From what you say, the third thing you tried (all files from both discs extracted into one location) sounds most correct (ScummVM can't read ADF files)

I realize this thread is ancient, but I have a question about where to put the Amiga files. In the 2 disk Amiga version of MM that I have the LFL files on disk 1 and disk 2 have the exact same names! I created a sub directory for disk2 and then added that to ScummVM as an "Extra Path". My other choices were to rename the disk2 files or copy them in over the disk 1 files.

I dunno if I'm going to get to a point in the game where it will prompt for disk2 or what. Any thoughts?

Do those identical named files have an identical size too by any chance? Ifso, you can just use either one of them.

Yes, comparing the sizes in ADF Opus shows that they the same. Thank for the response!
