Riven "game data not found"

Post by theoutrider »

So having played The Room the other day, I got a hankering to play Riven again. In the context of this, I've found out that ScummVM has support for the Mohawk engine that drives it.

And of course I have a nice shiny Android tablet (Ainol Novo 9 Spark) with ScummVM sitting around. You can probably see where this is going.

However, after copying over the data from my Steam version of the game, it fails to run on the tablet at all - I get the "not fully stable" warning, then a "game data not found" error message when I tell it to go anyway.

I've made sure all the files are there (and even checked the capitalisation is as on the wiki), and judging from the logcat that doesn't seem to be the problem either:

Code: Select all

Other games work fine and the mohawk plugin is installed, running ScummVM 1.5.0 (Jul 31 2012 13:28:39). Does anyone have any ideas what's going on here? Should Riven work on the Android version?

Turns out the Mohawk plugin page on Google Play says this:

"PLEASE NOTE: Riven, Myst and other Mohawk games are only supported in experimental builds, not in official builds."

Turns out the solution to the problem is to download a snapshot build from Buildbot.
