Comment (by criezy):

 This is a strange one, and I cannot reproduce it.

 I tried adding the EcoQuest 1 English CD version using 4 different
 versions of ScummVM on 2 different macs, and I it worked in all cases for
 me.

 Does it crash just after you select the folder with the game data files?
 Or do you get the dialog asking if you want to add the DOS or Windows
 version and it crash after that?

 Maybe your ScummVM Preferences file (~/Library/Preferences/ScummVM
 Preferences) is corrupted? You could try to move it out of the day to
 check if that is the issue.

 You could also try adding the games on the command line using Terminal.app
 to see if it works. For example if ScummVM is in the Applications folder,
 and Eco Quest is in your Documents folder, it would look like this:
 {{{
 iMac:~ criezy$ /Applications/ScummVM.app/Contents/MacOS/scummvm --add -p
 ~/Documents/EcoQuest1/
 Game Added:
   Target:   ecoquest-cd
   GameID:   sci:ecoquest
   Name:     EcoQuest: The Search for Cetus (CD/DOS/English)
   Language: English
   Platform: DOS
 Game Added:
   Target:   ecoquest-cd-win
   GameID:   sci:ecoquest
   Name:     EcoQuest: The Search for Cetus (CD/Windows/English)
   Language: English
   Platform: Windows
 Added 2 games
 }}}
 Note: you can Drag and Drop the ScummVM.app and the EcoQuest folders on
 the Terminal window to get the path to those instead of typing it.

 Versions I tried:
 - The 2.1.2 official release
 - The latest 32 bit daily build (osx_intel-master-ac1fb79d)
 - The latest 64 bit daily build (osx_x64-master-ac1fb79d)
 - My own compilation with the latest code (b0a56a0)

 I tried on both macOS 10.12.6 and macOS 10.15.5 (although obviously I
 could not try the 32 bit daily build on macOS 10.15.5 since it cannot run
 32 bit applications).
