You would need to extract Data/ folders from CDs into cd1/ cd2/ directories and then try again and send me 4 hashes scummvm would print.

See this ticket as an example:

Ahh, when I put the files like that it's no longer detected as an unknown variant.

They could and that's how steam/gog releases have been made but that's not really straightforward.
You can't just overwrite existing files - it would 100% break the game, as some files are different across chapters and CDs.

Ultimately you would need to put them into separate directories in any case, (e.g steam/gog release of Necronomicon used NecroES/Data and NecroES/Data2).

After that, you would need to unpack all scripts (pak -> lst), then find all MultiCD_Set_Next_Script lines and put proper directories there and pack lst files to pak again (or delete script .pak files)

I think it's way more hassle than just copying data into cd1/ cd2/ directories :)

yeah, i think its better to put both data folders in seperate folders like cd1 and cd2. this is what i had made before. i was only courious if its possible to merge them :)
