How to load Tentacle Data on SCUMMVM

HB · Post by HB » Sat Mar 04, 2006 4:10 am

Very new to this, so sorry if these are annoying questions. I just heard about SCUMMVM and I would like to try it out. I'm also new to using script, but I am a fast learner.

I've installed SCUMMVM 0.8.2 and I've put the Day of the Tentacle data here: Macintosh HD>Applications (Mac OS9)>dayoftentacle>dayoftentacledata

I then opened up SCUMMVM and clicked Add Game and it says that ScummCM cannot find any game in the specified directory. I know it is there, but it doesn't show up in the ScummVM directory. Do I need to move files, or have I missed some crucial point? Or does it take several minutes for big game files to show up?

Running Mac OS 10.3.9

Thanks,
HB

Files never show up, only directories. You have to select the directory in which the game data is.

However, we do not (and never will) support *renamed* data files. If you really called the file "dayoftentacledata", then it's unusable by ScummVM.
