You are most likely using a game such as Maniac Mansion or Zak McKracken if you have this problem.
You need to specify a language in the ScummVM Game Options dialog, with the -q parameter or by
using the 'language' config file option.<BR>

The majority of mac versions won't work without first extracting the resources into a format ScummVM
understands. To do this you need to use the rescumm tool in the scummvm-tools package.
An example usage might look like: <i>rescumm "Sam & Max Demo Data"</i>. Some CDs may appear to
only contain a application, in which case there is still a seperate data file but it is invisible.
The older games which have LFL files should only need the platform set to 'macintosh' to
- run. See <a href="#4-6">4.6</a> for information on specifying the game platform.
