I have too many Riven files...

kstab · Post by **kstab** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 5:05 pm

I did exactly that,

BUT it still won't find any game in the specified directory

Could it be that the created file is named "Extras.mhk" instead of "extras.mhk"???

P.S. all the other files have been copied-pastied from the 5 CDs. Should i also replace them with the ones created in the program files' after RIVEN installation??

Thanks for you replies

Sorry for the dummy's questions...

Do you have all the files listed on that page? Detection is based off a_Data.mhk, not extras.mhk. extras.mhk is only used during runtime.

Are you using the daily build or version 1.0?

I did the whole procedure again with no success.

I am using version 1.0.0 (other imported games work flawlesslly)

The a-Data.mhk file i am using is 9.67 MB and is located in CD1 in the file "All"

What am i doing wrong

What am i doing wrong :roll: :cry: :(

Using 1.0.0, Riven is only "supported" (as in you can start it up and do some things, no idea whether it is completable yet) in the development version of ScummVM (and it will probably not be supported in the next release of ScummVM either).

I know it is only supported and completable (yet), but i cannot even start it!!!!!

You need to run this version of ScummVM to detect it and run it:

1.0 does not have support for Riven or Myst but the daily builds do.

P.S. Next step: jailbreak my iPhone and import scummvm
Should i also use the nightly built version for the iphone in order to have riven working for the iphone???

Yes you will need the nightly/daily build for the iphone to play Riven.
