Does anyone have any experience converting Mac LEC games to run in ScummVM?

[PaulSC]

Hello darlings! Apologies if this is too 'techy' a question for this particular forum, but I wasn't sure where else to put it.

See, I recently found an old Mac copy of Day Of The Tentacle left over from the Mac-using days of my youth, and I want to play it. I want to play it BAD. Luckily I found a lovely thread on this very subject giving detailed instructions on how to run DOTT in ScummVM.

Now, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the way I'm following their instructions, as I've managed to convert Mac demos of Sam & Max and Full Throttle and have them running perfectly on my PC through Scummvm, but for DOTT nothing seems to work.

Here is my problem: when I use the 'rescumm'Ã,  tool to convert the DOTT Data file it unpacks 52 .lfl files, but when it tries to extract the 'monster.sou' file I get a message saying "ERROR: Could not allocate 268965339 of memory.!" (if this's refering to hard drive space, I should have more then enough). It extracts enough for ScummVM to recognise the original Maniac Mansion (listed as a seperate game), but nothing else.

Apologies again if this is in the wrong place, but I posted a similar message on the ScummVM forums a few weeks ago and haven't had a reply, and this is the only other place I could think of where someone might be able to help.

I'd REALLY appreciate any ideas, if anyone has any experience with this kind of thing. Thanks!

Not to be butting in or anything, but perhaps you would get more assistance if you were to post this in the technical forum. Just a suggestion, don't flame me (fun, but repetitive)!

No no no, it's fine here, the technical forums are only for AGS related questions.
