SCUMM cant detect Lands of Lore

I know support for LOL is either iffy or hasnt been around long.

I got the kyra.dat file in Scumm folder and LOL folder.

Is there anything else i have to do. Is support different for CD version and disk version?

Which version of ScummVM are you using? Even the development version doesn't enable it by default yet. The snapshot builds might support it, if they were built from the trunk ("1.2.0svn..."), but I believe they're currently built from the 1.1.0 branch ("1.1.0pre...") in preparation for the next release, so they probably don't.

Yeah, as erictorbjorn said, the releases right now will not detect it as it's not officially supported.

To run Lands of Lore right now, you'll need to compile the source code yourself. There are instruction on doing so in the wiki.

Usually, there are daily snapshots made (at least for Windows; possibly other systems as well) of the development version of ScummVM, which can be used by people who don't mind the occasional regressions. But as I said before, at the moment they are made from the 1.1 branch instead so that people can help us test the upcoming release.

@ grove
In case you're still there and want to try this it's not as hard as it looks.
There are a few different methods on Windows.
When I done it I used the Visual Studio method along with pre-compiled libraries to make it easier.
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Compi ... ual_Studio

Even though that page looks like a lot of work most of it is about compiling libraries yourself which you can skip with pre-compiled versions.
One extra thing you would need to do is open a file called 'configure' in a text editor.
Find the line:-
add_engine lol "Lands of Lore" no
and change the no to yes then save it.

You can download the source and see where the configure file is at this link:-
http://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/view ... mvm/trunk/
To download it select 'Download GNU tarball' from the bottom. It's just under 10MB at the moment.

One thing I'm not sure of is if the game can be completed in it's current state.

Can't grove12345 just grab a trunk build from the buildbot? Those seem to work fine with Lands of Lore.
