Unsupported Humongous Entertainment game

I've noticed that Blue's 123 Time Activities is not supported (very similar ABC Activities is). Is there any reason why it is not on the list?
It's not that it is a particularly good one or something (although my four-year old might like it) but as far as I can tell it is the only HE SCUMM game that is not supported.
Note to current maintainer of HE support: I have an extra copy of the game (HE games are very cheap at local library sales). PM me if you need it and I will send it to you by snail mail.

Most of the later Blue's Clues games from Humongous Entertainment require 16bit color support, which currently isn't possible under ScummVM, leading to many palette issues.

I'm not sure if Blue's 123 Time Activities requires 16bit color support though, since there is no demo available.

If you add a bug report, listing the data files, I can add the game to ScummVM, so it will at least start up.

Detection works now but the game immediately produces this error:
(1:1:0x383): local script 2048 is out of bounds (200,456)!

BTW, I've checked, the game is 256-color.

I updated the details for the game in ScummVM 0.12.0svn, try now.

The Windows snapshot was updated again, if you are using it.

Works beautifully now, thank you. It does complain about Smacker videos occasionally but that's completely different story.

The smacker videos will need to be converted to the DXA format, using our encode_dxa tool.

Yes, thanks. Just for the sake of completeness, I've extracted Mac files. MD5s are the same, file names are different:

I added the details for Macintosh version of the game to ScummVM 0.12.0svn, try now.

Wow! That was fast! Everything works, thank you very much.
