newbie asks.. how to start Beneath a steel sky?

6evolution_revolution6 · 03-11-2007, 08:25 AM

Ok, as usual nothing works an instructions that come with it don't answer or solve the problem

so I downloaded it an extracted to Program files - gaming folder - sky-cd, etc

theres 3 files

readme
sky.dnr (39 kb)
sky.dsk (69MB)

Now my Scummvm is Version 0.8.0 so the instructions said I need at least 0.5.0 so I'm good there.. but when I try to add the file, the sky-cd folder doesn't have anything in it so I'm like......TYPICAL!

So I can't start the game

Also the files are Unknown to my windows so I don't know how to start them without scummvm, I don't have any programs that run dnr or dsk files.

I read some about .dsk files on filext.com and it said it's a apple II Macintosh game ROM/Disk image
It also had this link!
Maybe this can help

Ok, I solfved it, you have to got to scumm vm's website and check the "compatibility" page, there select Beneath a steel sky's link and it'll tell you that you need to put this "file" into the games directory, heres the link

http://www.scummvm.org/compatibility.php?details=sky

now go use scummvm and select the folder sky-cd choosing it.. and then just double click on the game name and it works. ... so far :P haha.
