Simon 1 suddenly doesn't work

Post by djSergi »

Hi all! It has been a long time since I came here last time and my old account seems to be banned (at least that's what the web says). My problem is that I wanted to play again Simon The Sorcerer I and now I get this error:

My CD is 100% original and it worked when the game was supported several years ago. I think I'm gonna cry if I cannot play this game on ScummVM.

Thanks.

I could be wrong, but it looks to me that in addition to the four files you list (simon.gme, gamepc, stripped.txt and tbllist), ScummVM is also looking for a file called icon.dat. Do you have that anywhere on your CD?

Yes. It is in the root.

Assuming "G" is the drive letter for the CD, have you tried copying all the necessary files (for a particular version/language of the game) to a single folder on your hard disk, and run it from there?

(The data files page for the game should give you an idea of which files are needed.)
