Installation

Required data files

For more information on how ScummVM uses game data files, see the user documentation.

Environment CD

• *.STK (INTRO.STK, INTROENV.STK, CONSTRUC.STK, PALETTE.STK...)

• *.ITK (INTRO.ITK, INTROENV.ITK, CONSTRUC.ITK, ENVBOUC.ITK, ENVBOU2.ITK...)

• *.LTK (INTRO.LTK, INTROENV.LTK...)

• *.CD1 (e.g. BECBF21.CD1)

• *.DBF (ENVBOU2.DBF, ENVBOUC.DBF)

• CURSOR32.DLL or CURSOR.DLL

• ENVIR/*.DBF (APPLI_01.DBF...)
• ENVIR/*.INI (APPLI_01.INI...)
• ENVIR/*.LBM (APPLI_01.LBM...)
• ENVIR/*.VMD (APPLI_01.VMD...)

For any Adibou application listed below you need to add, copy the files from the corresponding CD into a (freely named) subdirectory of the game directory added in ScummVM.

For example, if your game directory is "Adibou2" and you want to add both "Read/count 4-5 years" and "Read/count 6-7 years", create two separate subdirectories of "Adibou2" named (for example) "ReadCount45" and "ReadCount67" and copy the required files in them.

Read/Count 4-5 years CD

• *.STK (INTRO_AP.ITK)
• *.ITK (APPBOU2.ITK)
• *.VMD (appli_01.vmd, appli_02.vmd)
• CD.INF (if present)

• *.STK (INTRO_AP.ITK)
• *.ITK (APPBOU2.ITK)
