Re: Zork Grand Inquisitor

Here's an updated copy of the script that will handle creating the ScummVM folder for both the CD and DVD versions of ZGI. Again, don't really care what people do with the code, as it's public domain. I'm looking into patching and also comparing the DVD vs the CD version, and see if there's a way to...

Re: Zork Grand Inquisitor

ScummVM recognizes that this is the DVD version of ZGI, but it dies immediately after launching although I do see the cursor for a split second. Are you using the 32-bit or 64-bit version of ScummVM? There seems to be a bug where the MPEG-2 movies make the 64-bit version crash to desktop - but if y...

Re: Zork Grand Inquisitor

So to help automate the install process, I'm including the PowerShell script I wrote to get things into the ScummVM folder and have everything work as expected (well, that's was the hope in any case). Script is public domain btw, so feel free to do whatever you (or the ScummVM project for that matte...

Re: Zork Grand Inquisitor

The latter. Root of the game directory where you placed your game files :-) Ok, that's the problem as I can't figure out how to get Windows 10 to run the ZGI DVD installer **AT ALL**. None of the compatibility settings in 10 work (none of the prior Windows versions, admin, etc), so while I can get ...

So this may be where the confusion lies, but when you say game root directory, is that referring to the directory of stuff that ScummVM is going to use, or is that the directory where ZGI gets installed to?

Zork Grand Inquisitor

So I'd like to revist a favorite adventure game, but I have the DVD version of ZGI (which I have since ripped), but unfortunately for me Windows 10 and the ZGI installer are not on speaking terms (despite what I have tried with compatibility layers). So while I have found https://wiki.scummvm.org/in...
