* on macOS, you will need to point ScummVM at the application bundle called 'LOOM' inside the games installation folder. Typically this will be something like /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/LOOM/LOOM.app. Notably you should NOT select the "Contents" subfolder, which will detect, but fail to run properly. | * on macOS, you will need to point ScummVM at the application bundle called 'LOOM' inside the games installation folder.

Note | Note 2: If the audio is a bit off when using a ripped CD audio track, with speech being cut off at the beginning or end of lines, you probably have to cut or insert some silence at the beginning of it. Judging by the CDDA.SOU file shipped with the Steam and GOG versions, the first spoken line should start about 0.51 seconds into the track. As of ScummVM 2.6.0, there is a "Playback Adjust" slider in the game options that allows you to adjust this without editing the audio file. (-0.34 seconds is a good value for me, but your mileage may vary.) | ||
