All LucasArts SCUMM based adventures except CMI also exist in versions for the
Macintosh. ScummVM can use most (all?) of them, however, in some case some
additional work is required. First off, if you are not using a Macintosh for
-this, accessing the CD/floppy data might be tricky. There are various tools on
-the net for this, though.
+this, accessing the CD/floppy data might be tricky, since the mac uses a
+special disk format called HFS which other systems usually do not support.
+However, there are various free tools on the net which allow reading such HFS
+volumes (for example "HFVExplorer" for Windows and "hfsutils" for Linux and
+other Unix-like operating systems).
Secondly, most of the newer games shipped only with a single data file on the
-Macintosh. You first have to run the 'rescumm' tool from the scummvm-tools
-package to extract the data files ScummVM expects. You invoke rescumm like
-this (where DATAFILE is the path to the single big data file):
-\begin{verbatim}
- rescumm DATAFILE
-\end{verbatim}
-It will extract the data into the current directory, so make sure to
-run it from a writable directory.
+Macintosh. You used to have to manually convert that data file, but this is no
+longer necessary, as ScummVM can now open and understand the format natively.
