Description

I've tried several new daily builds but Nancy Drew Haunted Carousel will not allow me to start a new game. I continue to get this message:
ScummVM 2026.3.1git31115-g47ea74dd01c (Aug 17 2026 04:21:21)
Console is ready
Debugger started, type 'exit' to return to the game.

Thanks for your report. Please provide some more details:

  • What OS are you using? Windows? macOS? *nix?
  • Does the game work with the stable version of ScummVM?
  • Does diff.avf exist inside the CDVideo folder?

I can't reproduce this with the Steam version of the game. The game starts normally.

Please, provide the information requested above. Make sure that you've copied all of the game files, as described in the wiki page for that game:
​https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Nancy_Drew:_The_Haunted_Carousel

In particular, make sure that diff.avf exists inside the CDVideo folder.
In the meantime, I'm closing this as worksforme.
