Please GoG, also consider packaging Myst: Masterpiece Edition with Scummvm for Linux. I don't associate the two at all! As a Linux user, I've been trying for years for Wine to support Myst, and for the past few years if I'd just known to try ScummVM I'd have been all set! Pianomano8: This needs to be highlighted in some way. I can run any of the dvds on Windows 7 Home Premium just fine. Played over the weekend and just beat it tonight. Nonviable: This is the only way I got Myst Masterpiece Edition to work.ĭo all that, and Myst runs fantastic! ) Hopefully someone will find this info helpful. Otherwise, your mouse sensitivity is through the roof and playing is impossible.ĭo all that, and Myst runs fantastic! ) Hopefully someone will find this info helpful. Turns out SDL has a bug in it so you have to run `export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0` before running ScummVM and then Myst. ![]() I fiddled a bit with the graphics settings (OpenGL, PC-9821 (236 Colors), fullscreen mode). I added a new game in ScummVM and pointed it to the Myst directory. I downloaded the latest nightly ScummVM source code from Github, compiled it (configure, make), and then ran the resulting binary. I just so happened to have a fully updated Debian VM running under VirtualBox, so I figured I'd give it a shot.įirst I copied the GOG Games\Myst Masterpiece Edition directory into the VM. The only thing I didn't do was delete QuickTime and replace it with an older version, because downgrading is not my cup of tea. I tried every Windows compatibility setting posted around this forum to no avail. I attempted to run it in Windows 7 64-bit but it would lock up roughly 10 minutes into playing every single time. This is the only way I got Myst Masterpiece Edition to work. Much better than with the normal installation and without sound crackling :) I tested this with Riven and I am sure that Myst 3 will work the same. Some of the files are hidden in other directorys on the DVD so not all data files are in the myst2\data folder - some of them are in te main data folder as well. You just need to copy ALL the required files into one directory. Kind Regards No, it is not incompatible (got the same edition). I wonder if someone has already tested those games on those engine ports and if someone can give me feedback regarding this problem. However the concrete compilation that I own seems to miss some files or it's simply incompatible with scummvm and residualvm on myst II & III. I tested myst 1, and everything seems to work quite fine. Even in windows, using scummvm allows you to skip all the installation procedure and it also gives you new options like playing them on a window. Since myst and riven is unofficially supported by scummvm and that means you can play them on android and other systems like linux, which were not originally supported, I prefer to play them on my tablet with scummvm. Just a beautiful game.I own a physical myst compilation called "Myst trilogy". TO me, Myst 4 looked much better than Myst 5 and was much mroe immersive. I'm a big graphics person, which is why I LOVED the Real Myst Masterpiece upgrade. Myst 4,for me, was a cinematic masterpiece the environs were astounding, they still ARE. ![]() ANd the water effects don't look as good as they did when I played the DVD version back in the day. ![]() I have found that the GOG MS 3,for some reason, plays in a small-ish box, and there is no way to change that unless I drop my screen rez down to the old fashioned 1028X724. WOw I had completely forgotten about that puzzle! I thought Myst 3 WAS a better game, especially with the actor in it (I forgot his name:Dafoe?) who is SO good. I am hopping they fixed that this time around, but I would guess they only have win10 compatibility added. I can't quite say the same for Myst4 since it has that annoying monkey puzzle.
