I have a Mac version of Full throttle, but the audio stutters badly in Basilisk II. It is unplayable as is. I have heard that ScummVM can play Mac LucasArts games in Windows if you have a driver installed that will let Windows see a Mac formated CD. Does anyone know of such a driver?

Can't say as I've ever heard anything about that before, myself, but (and bearing in mind that this is just a suggestion) wouldn't the cdenable.* files from the BasiliskII distributions do this job?

Since the thread is about Mac solutions, an unplayable game should be in another thread.

I haven't heard of that. Kind of doubt it. Might ask the Authors...

You can use an HFS Utility (HFS/HFS+ is the MacOS Classic filesystem) to get files off of HFS-formatted volumes. I can't quite remember the name of the utility. Maybe it's called HFSUtil. 😁

Yes, it’s my fault.

I have looked for some kind of HFS driver before, but with little success. I have not looked around lately, so maybe I should try again. Just to get files off a mac disc, I have just used "HFV Explorer", but it does not let Explorer see the files.

If Full Throttle is structured the same way as The Dig (ie. a single file instead of separate data files like in the Amiga, Windows, etc versions), I'm afraid accessing the HFS volume won't be enough. You need to extract the single file with rescumm (a tool provided in the ScummVM archive) into component parts for use with ScummVM.

Thanks for the tip. I had already extracted the single file using Basilisk, but could not get ScummVM to open the game. "rescumm.exe" worked like a charm, though it was a moot point as I had already ordered a Windows copy of the game.
