Description
Here we go
ScummVM 0.2.0 Release Built on Jun 18 2002 03:35:31
Original PC-version of the game, English language on 7 floppies.
First start up with freshly copied files:
***
peter@margaux:/home/games/sam-and-max$ scummvm samnmax
Unable to open configuration file: /home/peter/.scummvmrc.
Detected game 'Sam & Max', version 6.4.2 WARNING: No path was provided. Assuming the data files are in the current directory! Error(0:0:0x0): Cannot find 'samnmax.000'! peter@margaux:/home/games/sam-and-max$
***
Copied samnmax.001 to samnmax.000
(Tried both: simply copy the floppies into game directory AND set up the game under DOS on a FAT partition. Same error.)

Any ideas? The following games work fine: Monkey Island 2 and Indiana Jones 4.
System:
AMD Athlon 1 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, GeForce 2 MX 400, ECS K7VTA3 motherboard, combined IDE and SCSI. Debian Linux unstable, kernel 2.4.19
Any ideas?

Thats right, the error your getting about .000 is because you copied a compressed file in it's place! So naturally ScummVM thinks it's full of junk... effectivly, it is :)
Run the installer and extract the files that way. I think they are actually just
RAR's, but I might be wrong. In any case, it should install under dosemu.
If you setup the game on a dos partition and get a missing .000 error, then
something is seriously wrong with your copy of sam and max - That file
MUST be there.
BTW, in the future you should post questions like this in the Help forum, as it's an installation question, not a bug with ScummVM.
this is not a bug.
you need to install the game first. what you did is, you simple copied the disks over to your harddisk. of course this will not work, you need to install the files to decompress and create the two big files samnmax.000 and samnmax.001 out of the seven disk files.
run install.exe/setup.exe to install the game, guess you need a windows machine for it.
