Comment (by tag2015):

 Replying to [ticket:14069 Camwoodstock]:
 > Cookie's Bustle is a game that works via Macromedia, much like the
 incoming Director games, though we can't place a version. However, it is
 not even on the roster of games that are incoming for Macromedia Director
 compatibility.
 Hi, the only games supported are Director v4 or earlier, Cookie's Bustle
 is a v7 game. It's unlikely to get supported anytime soon.

 > In fact, it's apparently so bad that unlike the time we tried to add
 Mission to McDonaldland, there was no error about failing to process the
 game; ScummVM simply reported there was no game in the folder at all, and
 couldn't detect it even existed. Pretty harrowing to see without context
 considering the (at the time of submitting) recent archival concerns about
 the game!
 Actually the game is already in the detection tables, both the Windows and
 the Mac versions.
 But the Director files that Scummvm expects are packed with installers,
 you need to extract those installing the game (in a virtual machine or
 using an extractor like uniextract). If you just point scummvm to the CD /
 virtual drive, it won't work.

 > adding it to the list of games to look out for seems like it's very
 important
 There are hundreds of games in the same situation, to be honest... it'll
 eventually get supported (hopefully) but there's no timeline for it
 unfortunately.

 Closing as worksforme
