In general, ScummVM does not deal very well with multi-CD games. This is because ScummVM assumes everything about a game can be found in one directory. Even if ScummVM does make some provisions for asking the user to change CD, the original games usually install a small number of files to hard disk. Unless these files can be found on all the CDs, ScummVM will be in trouble.
Fortunately, ScummVM has no problems running the games entirely from hard disk, if you create a directory with the correct combination of files. Usually, when a file appears on more than one CD you can pick either of them.
These instructions are written for the PC versions (which in some case is the only version) of the games. Windows and DOS use case-insensitive file systems, so if one CD has a file called MONKEY.DAT and another has a file called monkey.dat, they are the same files. These instructions give file names in all lower-case names, even if that’s not always how they appear on the CDs. In fact, on case-sensitive file systems you will have to make sure that all filenames use either all upper- or all lower-case letters for ScummVM to be able to find the files.
The instructions for the Broken Sword games are for the Sold-Out Software versions, which are the ones you are probably most likely to find in stores now.
