Installation
Required data files
For more information on how ScummVM uses game data files, see the user documentation.
DOS
- *.00?
- *.HAG
- *.RES
- DIGITAL.ADA
Known Bugs
- When entering the life support section, the door behind you is briefly shown as already closed before closing for real. This does not happen in DOSBox with version 8.49 (but I'm told it did happen in version 8.43).
- There is some flickering when showing the lift doors closing when going between the upper and lower levels in Machopolis, the cause of which I still haven't been able to track down.
TODOs
These are some things that would be "nice to have" at some point in the future:
- Support for decompressing the original floppy version installer archives on the fly. This would avoid the current need to run the installer in DosBox before the game is playable in ScummVM
