Comment:

 Ah, okay. Please see the rules regarding "abandonware":
 https://bugs.scummvm.org/wiki

 The ScummVM detection tables are for official releases and occasional fan-
 patches; this is just someone taking the real GK2 French files and running
 them through a fan program to repackage them. In addition to the ScummVM
 policy regarding legitimate releases, it would be a support nightmare to
 handle all these made-up versions and their potential
 bugs/incompatibilities. It would also generate many detection entries as
 each of the many GK2 versions could be repackaged to generate different
 files. It's hard enough to detect and support all the real versions! =)

 I recommend obtaining the real GK2 French files; they run great! Just
 rename the multi-CD files accordingly:
