Did you install the game and then added the install directory to scummvm? This game should be playable with no installation, just copy all the files in a folder and add that to ScummVM

Ah, now it's working.
I assumed that I should've moved all the files from the Install folder into the root directory of the game folder, then move the DATA folder over.

No problem! Generally we try to support the original layouts if possibile.
So unless the wiki states otherwise or the game needs installation, the first thing to try is just to copy all the files from the disc to a folder on the hd and add it to ScummVM.
