Ultima 8/Pagan — open DOS saves in Scummv?

[TheBass]

I fear I know the answer but asking anyway... can you open a DOS/dosbox Ultima 8 save in Scummv? I see the FAQ says that certain games can do this, and then says to check the wiki page for that particular game. When I click that link, it does have U8 on that list, but I don’t know if that’s just a list of every Scummv-compatible game period or the ones that can open DOS save. When I go the U8 entry specifically it doesn’t really say anything about that topic one way or the other.

So long question long, CAN you open Ultima 8 DOS saves in Scummv? If so, what’s the process? It made me start a new game when I opened it the first time in Scummv and my saves don’t seem to be there when I go to load them, though the save files are in the same folder as the game files.

PS I’m on a Mac and this is the GOG/dosbox gold edition version if that matters. Thanks.

No. The Pentagram codebase the engine is based on didn't support it, so ScummVM likewise doesn't.

ah, nuts.
