where is MM in Mac version of DOTT?

[EphemeralToast]

Three cheers for 0.8.2! Now I can finally load and play my Mac version of DOTT correctly. However, I am having some trouble finding the bonus Maniac Mansion game included. From compatibility chart:
"Maniac Mansion isn't playable on Ed's computer. To play the included copy, use 'Add Game' from the main ScummVM launcher and select the MANIAC directory inside the DOTT game directory"

I don't see any such Maniac directory. What can I do?

I'm using Mac OS X 2.8.

You have to extract the game using the extract_mm_nes utility in the scummvm-0.8.0-macosx package.

usage:

extract_mm_nes "Day of the Tentacle Data"

You end up with all files extracted, incl. maniac mansion

Umm, wrong program - you want extract_scumm_mac.

Err, sorry, I was tired when I wrote that.

also theres a neat little trick i found out last night (only works from the original exe) if you own Manic Mansion enhanced, you can upgrade the version of MM played from eds room. just replace the old MM files with the MME files and rename maniac.exe to maniac.ovl (just found this out last night, thought it was pretty cool). not sure if it works on mac's or mac versions though

okay... done, now I have a bunch of DOTT files with numbered names and a file called "maniac.ovl" and scummvm doesn't recognize any of them. when I try to load the game in scummvm, it presents me with a list of about a million games, none of which is MM. am I doing something wrong?

[joachimeberhard]

Try moving the *.lfl files to a seperate folder.
maniac.ovl is not needed by ScummVM, but also belongs to MM.

Then add MM in the new folder to ScummVM and run it.

There is a little bug with more than 1 game in 1 directory ATM.
