 When trying to play games previously assed to ScummVM, I get a "Game Data
 Not Found" error.  Upon further investigation, it's many, but not all, of
 the SCI games in my library.

 I'm using ScummVM 2.5.1 on MacOS 11.6.5 (Intel)

 Checking the ScummVM Preferences File '../Library/Preferences/ScummVM
 Preferences', I saw something interesting with the games not working:

 ----

 ''Broken: (as-is)''

 Here's another:

 ----

 I have used development builds in the past to test new games/engines.  Is
 it possible something was corrupted over time when switching versions?
 Both games incorrectly listed above - Larry 3 & Space Quest 5 - are in my
 library and work fine.
 The issue does seem to be isolated to SCI games.

 Thank you for taking a look into this issue.
