#15021 new defect

Scummvm 2.8.0 broke Macintosh-format SCI on OSX — at Version 1

Reported by: g5ppc Owned by:
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCI
Version: Keywords: Macintosh SCI
Cc: Game: King's Quest 5

Description (last modified by g5ppc)

On Mojave, Scummvm 2.7.1 would play SCI Macintosh games stored in native resource-fork format on APFS. On Scummvm 2.8.0 and the latest daily builds, it instead reports "Error running game: Game data not found"

User picked target 'freddypharkas-mac-1' (engine ID 'sci', game ID 'freddypharkas')...

Looking for a plugin supporting this target... SCI [all games]

WARNING: Failed to open resource map file!
WARNING: Failed to open volume file - if you got resource.p01/resource.p02/etc. files, merge them together into resource.000!
WARNING: Volume and map version not detected, assuming that this is not a SCI game!
WARNING: SCI [all games] failed to instantiate engine: Game data not found (target 'freddypharkas-mac-1', path '/Users/*/Desktop/freddy-macbin')!

FWIW, the Windows & Linux builds for years have not been able to play Macintosh-format SCI games stored in MacBinarized(?) format. As I recall the Mac build was able to do this, so it wasn't clear if this was a bug or intentional.
