Problem in saving on Mac

Ever since 1.0 build, I am no longer able to save games in Freddi Fish or Putt Putt on my Mac... not even the latest version. 0.13.1 is the last version that works fine with Option 0-9...

F5 menu does not work, nor Option 0-9... these used to work. Someone proposed "S" and "L" but it works only the first time, then it hung or crash into console on 2nd time I try.

Please help, I don't want to stay in 0.13.1 forever...

The only explanation I can think of is if the savegames, for some unknown reason, cause the original save/load dialogs to crash. It would probably help if you could file a bug report and attach your savegames to it.

Hi,

Is it possible to support back the original option 0-9 save game mode? This is a really great feature and I don't understand why it is reimplemented?

There's a comment in the function that determines whether or not ScummVM's own save/load dialog can be used that states that:

Code: Select all

	// HE games are limited to original load and save interface only,
	// due to numerous glitches &#40;see bug #1726909&#41; that can occur.
	//
	// Except the earliest HE Games &#40;3DO and initial DOS version of
	// puttputt&#41;, which didn't offer scripted load/save screens.

Judging by the comments to bug #1726909, it would be difficult without re-introducing those glitches again. I don't know the actual details myself though.
