I'm not seeing it in the man page, and the launcher only allows to choose a dir where the game is.

The only thing remotely similar in the man page is:
-p path
Path to where the game is installed.


And that is not recursive

I got the source, but it's skipping engines, and that is what i wanted to check - is it the missing libraries? If so how do i get them: (i found out about checkinstall) Running ScummVM configure... Looking for C++ compiler... g++ Checking for compiler version... 4.4.3, ok Checking endianness... litt...

Any ubuntu repository of svn builds?

I'm lazy, internet quota challenged, and like un-installing things later.

What i would like to run natively in dos is betrayal in antara.

Who would have thought that those windows 95 games would be more of a pain to get to work ok than the dos versions.

What you said here:- "damn. i dislike being dependent on a program to run a game - be it dosbox or scummvm, but these old games with their aversion to full installs make me do it." Any chance of explaining why? You never know - maybe we can reassure you. I'm talking about the single failu...

I have a version of the game that has all the music as wav uncompressed, not as a music.clu, so i don't need a seperate music dir. However there are some musics with repeated filenames. Anyone know if they are really the same?

Actually it worked. I was missing the cd1.id file. There is probably a cd2.id file too. Instructions: 1) install max size 2) copy every missing music and speech files to your dir, modify the speech dir of each cd to speech1 & speech2. Copy the cd1.id and cd2.id files too. i made a symlink in the...

but i do own the cds my friend with it's actual parisian background in orange and mauve (?). Anyway i thought of a way to run the cd version, but only on dosbox.

I was planning to have a mega installation (with the data files and the executables for dos, windows, and a sym link for the speech files with the name scummvm expects). The dos and windows merging seems to work with the cd and the symlink to the scummvm speech files works (symlink speech1.clu and s...
