Skib Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 I just recieved LucasArts Archives Vol. 1 in the mail from an eBay seller. Yes! No...it's for mac, and I have a PC. What do I do? I could try and get my money back, but i'd still have to pay shipping. OR, if theres any mac file to PC file converter, mac emulator, etc. I could keep the games. I'm only bringing this up because I heard that before the iPod could be bought for Windows, several sites popped up with 'unoficial' software that would allow the mac iPod to be used on windows.

Benny Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Use ScummVM Use the 'rescumm.exe' tool that comes with the daily builds to split the mac files into 'normal' resource files and then play the games with scummvm. Erm of course that all depends on what versions come in volume 1, if they are eariler versions (eg mi1 ega) they wont work on scummvm...yet but they will eventually.

Jake Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 macs dont have EGA and lucasarts archives 1 doesnt have monkey 1 and 2 AND mac monkey 1 and 2 dont need rescumm because they use the .00x files. anyway this post is superfulous because he's talking about sam and max and dott. the mac LEC Archives copy of fate of atlantis should work out of the box with scummvm, unless i'm insane.

Ender Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Originally posted by Jake anyway this post is superfulous because he's talking about sam and max and dott. Er, that makes no sense Sam and Max / DOTT need to be 'ReScummed' to be able to play the Mac version on a PC with ScummVM.. Thus the post is the very opposite to superfulous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Hooray! I think we've probably confused Skib immensely. But I didnt move this to the help forum so its alright:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skib Posted November 8, 2002 Author Share Posted November 8, 2002 Well, I'm not sure what to do at all! I downloaded and installed the latest build of SCUMMVM, but then put DOTT in my CD-ROM drive and windows won't read the CD! (Maybe I should have mentioned I have the CD version?) Is there any hope for me? Also, the documentation on how to 'rescumm' is a little lacking. I appreciate the help BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Maybe I should have mentioned I have the CD version?) Is there any hope for me? Oops. Because it's a macintosh CD, the files are probably in a format known as HFS+ I can't think of any way to read the CD under Windows - only way -I- can think of is to get someone with a Mac to somehow copy the files to a Windows-compatible CD. Or maybe reauction it and keep looking for a PC version. Anyone else have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannar85 Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Hello, Windows machines don't have built-in Macintosh compatibility, but third party products can enable Windows users to work with Mac disks. These software utilities can read Mac CD-ROMs and read and write Mac floppies, and SCSI drives, including Zip, Syquest, magneto optical and hard drives. Some of the products allow users of Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT to access Mac disks from open dialog boxes, the Windows Explorer, the My Computer icon, and the ordinary places from which disks are accessed. I'd recommend you the program MacDrive which does so.... A download to version 5 is located at http://www.downseek.com/download/21572.asp but it has been released newer versions such as 2000. It's a trial, but if you're really in need of the full version you can buy it. I don't think it's much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trial won't work with XP, which I have. Do you know of any other products like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmate Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Well, I have a program called MacOpener 2000. It can read the "Mac" part of CDs. Unfortunately, I think you have to buy it at the store, unless you can find their web site and get a trial version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannar85 Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Aight! If that version didn't work, I'd recommend you towards version 2000. There is a download for it here; http://www.iomega.com/software/macdrive.html It works on Windows 95/98/Me/2000/NT 4.0 (NT meaning XP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skib Posted November 12, 2002 Author Share Posted November 12, 2002 Whew. Thanks guys. I got everythang sorted out nice'n purty now. Except for the age-old problem with music in Sam & Max. If somebody could post their scummvm.ini file so I could take a look at how they got music to work, that would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khalek Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Try specifying -ewindows on the command line or music_driver=windows under the samnmax specific section of your config. Having only used ScummVM under Linux I can only assume your computer won't blow up after doing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try -eadlib and -ewindows, one of them should work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skib Posted November 17, 2002 Author Share Posted November 17, 2002 Sound works (used -eadlib). I have only one question. There is a black line that runs verticaly from the top of the screen to the bottom. It sits about 4/5 to 5/6 of the way to the right of the screen. Just thought i'd inquire about it without using a question-mark. No seriously, is it a bug? Perhaps this only happens to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
