Download ScummVM from <http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php> and +install it. + +2. Create a directory on your hard drive and copy the game datafiles +from the original media to this directory. Repeat this for every game +you want to play. + +3. Start ScummVM, choose 'Add game', select the directory with the game +datafiles (do not try to select the datafiles themselves!) and press +'Choose'. + +4. A dialog should popup allowing you to configure various settings if +you wish to (it should be just fine to leave everything at its default, +though). Confirm the dialog. + +5. Select the game you want to play in the list, and press 'Start'. + +In the future, you should be able to directly skip to step 5, unless you +want to add more games. + +Hint: If you want to add multiple games in one go, try pressing and +holding the shift key before clicking 'Add game' -- its label will +change to 'Mass Add' and if you press it, you are again asked to select +a directory, only this time ScummVM will search through all +subdirectoriess for supported games. 2.0) Contact: ---- -------- The easiest way to contact the ScummVM team is by submitting bug reports (see section 2.1) or by using our forums at http://forums.scummvm.org . -You can also join and e-mail the scummvm-devel mailing list, or chat with -us on IRC (#scummvm on irc.freenode.net) Please do not ask us to support -an unsupported game -- read the FAQ on our web site first. +You can also join and e-mail the scummvm-devel mailing list, or chat +with us on IRC (#scummvm on irc.freenode.net) Please do not ask us to +support an unsupported game -- read the FAQ on our web site first. 2.1) Reporting Bugs: @@ -250,8 +288,8 @@ SCUMM Games by Humongous Entertainment: The following games should load, but are not yet fully playable.
