Hi,

I'm a computre thicko so maybe I've done it wrong, but I want to play my old mac copy of DOTT on my emac with osx tiger.

I downloaded your fantastic sounding programme and it appears on my desktop as redir.php.

When I double click to open it it says "Quicktime cannot open that file: it is not a file that quicktime understands (-2048)". So I'm stuck.

I tried opening the game off the cd but although classic starts I get the game sound but a kind of distorted version of my osx desktop as a visual.

I hope this makes sense to someone and you can help me...

Thanks, Jon

Tou didn't download scummvm well, redir.php is an internet page not the executable

Basically, when you download the file... Do -not- right click and choose 'download linked file', but just click on it and wait for Safari to start downloading automatically :)

Hi, thanks for the advice...

I have a mac which means I only have one mouse button so I can't right click or otherwise. When I click on the "Mac OS X Universal Disk Image" button it the asks me to choose a mirror and automatically downloads the useless redir.php thing. I'm not given any more options than that.

Sorry to be a pain but I need these things spelled out!

Jon

weird, it works in firefox under windows for me

but at least I can give you the link sf.net threw at me:

http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourc ... versal.dmg

I guess that should be the 0.9.0 OSX file

edit: ouch, sf.net checks for the referrer and then gives you the html site again, I guess this won't fix your download problem

Try another browser, like Firefox or Camino (my personal choice for Mac).
