Unable to get OSX Version Working.. Help!

Post by Elmlea »

Hello all,

I've got a bunch of old Lucasarts games on PC CD, and I'm now the proud owner of a new iMac. I've copied some of my old CDs onto my Mac HD, and downloaded the latest version of ScummVM.

When I try to add a game though, it shows me all the files associated with the game in question (Day of the Tentacle as an example), but they're all faded out and it won't let me select any of them in the finder to add. No matter how many times I try to click on DOTT.EXE or TENTACLE.EXE or anything, it won't accept it.

Does anyone have any advice?

ScummVM is asking you to select the folder where the game's data files are stored, not any individual file. (I don't know exactly how this looks on the Mac, since I'm told it uses the native file selector rather than ScummVM's built-in one.)

erik speaks the truth. when you've browsed to the game folder (so you can see the faded game files eg. dott.exe as you mention), just click the "choose" button (bottom right).
