Required data files - SCI
WARNING: Unlike other games, SCI games have significant variation in the naming of required files.
They also can load supplementary files by resource maps, so it is recommended to keep all files in the game data directory from the CD.
Unless otherwise specified, do NOT remove any file from the directory, even if it does not appear on the following list, since this will likely cause weird bugs.
Copy all files to the game directory. Some games need additional work:
Floppy games with RESOURCE.p01, p02, etc. and/or RESOURCE.a01, a02, etc. files
- Concatenate all RESOURCE.p0* files to RESOURCE.000 (e.g.
copy /b RESOURCE.p0* RESOURCE.000on Windows, orcat RESOURCE.p0* > RESOURCE.000on *nix). - Concatenate all RESOURCE.a0* files to RESOURCE.AUD (e.g.
copy /b RESOURCE.a0* RESOURCE.AUDon Windows, orcat RESOURCE.a0* > RESOURCE.AUDon *nix).
Required data files - AGI
All platforms
- *VOL.* (e.g. GRVOL.0, KQ4VOL.11, VOL.1)
- OBJECT
- *DIR* (e.g. PQDIR, MH2DIR, DMDIR, DIRS, LOGDIR, PICDIR, SNDDIR, VIEWDIR)
- WORDS.TOK
and if available

The Predictive Input Dialog is a ScummVM aid for running AGI engine games (which notoriously require command line input) on devices with limited keyboard support.
For more information, see the AGI/Predictive Dialog wiki page.
