I can't play Arthur's Birthday.

Post by c0080900v »

According to the compability list, it works fine without issues.

But I've tried having ScummVM check the disc on the drive, the install directory, and even the .iso I ripped the game to.

ScummVM doesn't detect anything with the mentioned paths, any ideas how to get it working?

And I've tried on my Android too.

Platform?
OS?
Error messages in the log or the console?

That's the error in the window. What's the error in the console?

Windows or MacIntosh version of the game?

You could also have the 2.0 version of the game which is not supported yet

windows, disc is as clean as it gets.

Is the Mac one playable through ScummVM?

I know it's a rule, but I need download link to a working one.

Listen, if you don't want to answer my question, I can't help you.

And, no, you can't get a download link -- it's a rule for a reason.

Check the readme on the game disk to confirm it is not version 2

That won't help since the game isn't even detected. The version doesn't matter as long as the detection entries aren't in. He might even be pointing it to the wrong directory, I don't know. The version of the game is the last piece of information we need.
