Hi,

I have successfully gotten AGS games working on both Intel/PPC Macs with either Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) or Leopard (10.5). The games I've tested are KQ1VGA and KQ2VGA from http://www.agdinteractive.com/. The most direct way to get things running is to drag the .exe (e.g. kqvga.exe) over the AGSRunTime -icon.

...

I think one of the most likely reason for the "main game file not found...." error is that either AGSRunTime or the game files are located in a path that has spaces or other non-ascii characters.

You should NOT use SPACES. For example this kind of folder structure does NOT work:
"/Applications/AGS Games/KQVGA/"

Happy gaming!

I keep getting the dreaded error message for the AGS program for mac...

"Main game file not found. This may be from a different AGS version, or the file may have got corrupted."

The mac version was installed as instructed by Steve (add to apps folder and then put the application on the bar). This happens whenever any AGS application is dragged to the app folder on the desktop.  It doesn't turn into the "cup icon" or anything.  It just displays the default icon used by mac (Leopard, in my case).

I have scanned all of the forums on this, and the most I could find is that someone figured it out.. she didn't say how but she said that she did.  Anyway...

I really tried to do everything Steve told me, but I can't even get an application open... let alone crash.


Someone please help!!!
