Hop over to http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/ and grab a download of ScummVM.

The readme tells you how to mount, it works just fine in dosbox.

I wasn't implying it didn't... for a newbie, it is somewhat easier under ScummVM however.

Well if the next game is keen he wants to play...

got scumm but that does not seem to find the game or i am not looking in the right place. could you give me the idiot guide to dosbox or scumm

cheers

You have to point scummvm to the directory where indy4 is.
Maybe post a file listing of your indy directory here.

in the scumm it shows all other games and programs except indy?
i am quite a novice at this so anyhelp is thankful

in the scumm i can find other games and programmes but not the indy,
i am quite a novice at this so any help would be good

cheers

The indy4 directory should have files like atlantis.000/atlantis.001,
an exe file and some .ims files, check that they're present.

i amsorry to bother you all on this subject but i am well stuck.
i dont know where to check or look
sorry about this

Well in that indy4 directory 😀
Like when you have a
c:\oldgames\indy4
then check that directory what files are present.

If ScummVM does not see the game, even after directing it to the game's folder, could it be that it is a modified game? I believe that ScummVM identifies games by the MD5.

Or it's still packed or something...

yes them files are there
i have scumm and dosbox just dont know how to mount it

cheers

You don't need Dosbox, only ScummVM. There is a Readme file included, when you install the program; this should help you get the game running.
If you have further problems you should ask in the forum of Scummvm (http://forums.scummvm.org) and not here!
