Ah, okay. Please see the rules regarding "abandonware": https://bugs.scummvm.org/wiki
The ScummVM detection tables are for official releases and occasional fan-patches; this is just someone taking the real GK2 French files and running them through a fan program to repackage them. In addition to the ScummVM policy regarding legitimate releases, it would be a support nightmare to handle all these made-up versions and their potential bugs/incompatibilities. It would also generate many detection entries as each of the many GK2 versions could be repackaged to generate different files. It's hard enough to detect and support all the real versions! =)
I recommend obtaining the real GK2 French files; they run great! Just rename the multi-CD files accordingly: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=The_Beast_Within
Hello, thanks for reporting this. Where did you get these files? The French version of GK2 came on six CDs, this looks like a single volume file produced by a third party fan tool.
