    Default Trouble with game files located in a .zip folder?

    Hi, apologies if there is a thread already related to this. I am trying to play Freddi Fish, just for some good 'ol nostalgia, and am having some issues. The files I downloaded for the game (Freddi Fish 2: The Case of the Haunted Schoolhouse) are all located in a zip file. I'm used to i being a single ROM image, and I have no idea how to run this. I did download ScummVM already, as it was recommended, but it doesn't seem to recognize the files or I am not doing it correctly. It just confuses me that there are multiple files and I'm just clueless as to what to do. Thanks in advance.

    What are the file extensions of the files inside the archive?

    Should be the file set for that game.

    Extract the archive (to a new folder if needs be), and then click on 'Add Game' in ScummVM and select the folder that contains the game files.

    I think that's all you need to do to get it working.

    It still isn't listed when I browse Add Game..Nothing shows up when I go to where the folder with the files is located. *I saved the folder under Documents and the folder itself doesn't show up when I look in Documents.
