So the solution was just to do with Scumm Development Build. Happy adventuring! Oh god, thank you very much AbacusFinch, I tried this solution found elsewhere, but didn't worked because I chose Scumm Stable Build, so I tried another solution, not working too, and I was going to just give up. But it still has the very ugly green/black ScummVM menu overlays for options, save/load, etc. I hope this is helpful to people, I know it's not the perfect workaround but if you've exhausted a lot of options then ideally this will be what you've been looking for. It's in better shape than Myst: it doesn't have the mouse cursor issues, and the menu is 'tasteful' (very close to the original Riven menu), and the logos play after starting a new game, not before the menu.

What solved it for me was trying out different ScummVM nightly builds, trying both 32 bit and 64 bit, stable and development. If you press start and ScummVM tells you that you're missing files, double check that all the files you need are in your Data folder (remember you need Riven.exe in there too). Also a nifty feature of ScummVM is that you can press F4 and it draws the selection boxes around the clickable zones in the game. Press F5 in game to bring up a menu which allows you to save, load and quit. To play the game in fullscreen, press Edit Game, go to the graphics tab, tick override global graphic settings and then tick fullscreen mode. Now select the game in your ScummVM main menu and press start. (You don't need to go into the Data folder, just select it).Ĥ. Select Add Game and navigate to your Riven folder, select the Data folder and press choose. Open the ScummVM folder we extracted earlier and run ScummVM. Copy or move your Riven.exe file into the Data folder.ģ. You should have all the files you need (ignore the optional ones) barring one, which we will cover in the next step.Ģb. Check that you have the necessary data files in one folder, which for me was Galax圜lient/Games/Riven/Data.

The build I downloaded was right at the bottom, Windows (64bit), and I downloaded the latest development build rather than the latest stable build (the stable build kept saying I was missing data files so I was unable to launch the game). I will paraphrase what he tells you to do as well as including some additional steps that I needed to take to make it work with the GOG version as his version assumes you have the game on CD/DVD.ġ. My pre-Wyrmkeep CD includes both INSTR.AD and INSTR.OPL, and will not crash when starting the game with AdLib music.AbacusFinch: I found a helpful Reddit post that details a method of playing Riven on modern operating systems (Windows 10 for me) and it works like a charm so far. It does not include INSTR.AD or INSTR.OPL, yet will not crash when starting the game with AdLib music. My GOG version appears to be identical to the Windows/Mac/Linux CD, but the files are organized differently. My Wyrmkeep Windows/Mac/Linux CD uses digitized music in the form of a music.rsc file. It does not include INSTR.AD or INSTR.OPL, and will crash when starting the game with AdLib music. My Wyrmkeep Linux CD uses digitized music in the form of a music.rsc file. My Wyrmkeep Windows CD uses standalone MIDI files for the music. When you remerge the game into one directory, file C. A and B are on separate disks so yo make a file C with just the right parts of A and B. Lets say you need a part of file A and a part of file B for some particular part of the game. This is probably redundancy because of the 5 disks thing. Some versions of Inherit the Earth has the same problem: I had the same extra files, so its not just you. I could have sworn that I saw a corresponding bug report for Inherit the Earth, but since I can't find that now I'll post this here instead.
