Help Needed for Zork Grand Inquisitor

Post by Zorkmid »

Hi,
I'm trying to launch ZGI. I've installed the game from the original 2-disc CD set to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\ZGI". I followed the instructions from the DataFiles link (i.e. made sure the zgi_mx, zassets1 and various files are in that directory. Added the zassets2 directory to that directory)

When I try to 'Add Game' using ScummVM 1.7.0 I get the following error: "ScummVM could not find any game in the specified directory!".

This is the first game that I've tried to run using ScummVM. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Support for Zork: Grand Inquisitor was added only (relatively) recently, after the latest version of ScummVM, 1.7.0, was released. That means that ScummVM 1.7.0 doesn't include support for Zork: Grand Inquisitor.

You need to either wait for the next stable release of ScummVM or try one of the daily builds.

It looks as though I was looking at the development compatibility chart this morning which shows the support as Good rather than the 1.7.0 compatibility chart which doesn't list ZGI as supported.

Thanks for the help.
