Description

ScummVM detects the Wetlands original CD-ROM full version without patch 1.1.
Once the 1.1 patch (contains only new exe and readme) is applied ScummVM reports an unknown version and the game doesn't start.

The game in 'Wetlands\' seems to be an unknown game variant.

Please report the following data to the ScummVM team at https://bugs.scummvm.org/ along with the name of the game you tried to add and its version, language, etc.:

Thanks for the report! Patching to the version 1.1 is not necessary in fact. You can play the game with the original release and scummvm will work as expected. The patch only modified some timer to allow the player more time to complete a level. This was necessary because some PCs were not powerful enough and the timer depends on the CPU cycles, making the level more difficult (or impossible) to complete.

Anyway, I added the hash for Wetlands 1.1 in https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/3e1217159ff991623585be4eba2cb3a822e79f0f but if you want to play the game with the scummvm release you have, just use the unpatched version.

Thanks!
