Description (last modified by eisnerguy1)

I'm running this versions on macOS 10.14.6:
ScummVM 2.6.0git5785-g2a36aef83c9 (May 14 2022 04:29:14)

I had an issue with ScummVM not detecting the Mac version of Let's Explore the Farm with Buzzy.

If I try a Mass Add and select the mounted disc, ScummVM only recognizes the various Mac & Windows demos as well as the Windows version of "Let's Explore the Farm with Buzzy". If I try to change the game file path in ScummVM Preferences, and point to the Mac files, ScummVM can't find any files.

Here are the files that the Mac version has:

  • The Farm
  • The Farm (0)
  • The Farm (1)
  • The Farm (2)
  • The Farm (4)
  • The Farm (9)

I posted about it on the ScummVM forums

Praetorian had this to say:

Looking again at the "engines/scumm/detection_tables.h" file, the  entries for Airport and Jungle (full game) for Macintosh look like  this:
{ "airport", "The AirPort", kGenHEMac, UNK_LANG,  Common::kPlatformMacintosh, 0 },
...
{ "jungle", "The Jungle", kGenHEMac, UNK_LANG, Common::kPlatformMacintosh, 0 },

while the entry for Farm looks like:
{ "farm", "farm", kGenHEMac, UNK_LANG, Common::kPlatformMacintosh, 0 },"

Their suggestion was to do this:

So the idea is to change the second "farm" value (which is the "pattern" field) to "The Farm" for this entry, rebuild scummvm and check what happens.
