SWORD2: Fail To Detect Game in GOG Version

[iZen74]

The game in 'Game' 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.:

Hi,
Ive bought Broken Sword 2 from Gog.com and I want to play it on my 64Bit MacOS with ScummVM. I've read that ScummVM 2.7.1 got a better chance to play Broken Sword Games. Maybe this helps you? ScummVM can't find any Broken Sword Game in the Folder. Thank you

Hello!
It looks like you've installed the remastered version of Broken Sword 2 and then pointed ScummVM (2.7.1) to the "Game" subfolder of that version.

ScummVM supports the classic version of Broken Sword 2, not the remastered one, as of yet.

GOG offers the classic version with the purchase of the remastered version but it has to be installed separately. Look for the installer in the Extras section of the Downloads offered for the game. It is called something like "Broken Sword 2 (Original game, English)".

Use the installer for the original game to install it, and then point ScummVM to the folder where the original was installed.

This looks like it may be misunderstanding of the location of classic game files in the remastered version on GOG. If the user does not respond within 2 weeks, this should be closed as worksforme.
