Comment (by ArthurWalden):

 Sigh. I didn't realize this would be an issue, but maybe I should have
 anticipated this. I dealt with a vendor who legally transfers old DOS
 games in ways that run on modern Windows systems. (This vendor transfers
 the games to CD in the process and also includes the original media to
 keep it legal.) I bought what I thought was a legit copy of KQ5 floppy
 from this vendor, only to discover that while the game ran perfectly, the
 vendor had broken the copy protection. (This might sound bizarre, but I
 actually asked them to send a version with the copy protection intact and
 they said they couldn't.) It may be that the "jailbreak" also broke the
 scoring in this instance. However, since copy protection broken games are
 not supported on ScummVM, I would ask that you close this ticket.
