I don't know if I'll ever be able to complete this by myself...

Maniac Mansion on the Mac handles saving/loading differently, not just than the DOS version but also differently than the other Mac games. Both menu items bring up the original save/load screen, and clicking the save/load buttons there bring up the Mac dialogs. This almost works, with a few caveats:

  • The savegame does not get the appropriate thumbnail image. (This is only visible when loading from the ScummVM load dialog.)
  • Using the -x command line option to load a saved game immediately brings up the Mac save dialog. Was the game saved in mid-saving, perhaps?

I don't know yet what to do about these, and I don't know if I'm taking the correct approach with the rest either.

Without this, saving/loading should work the same as in all other games, which is fine by me! (Though perhaps we should disable F5 opening the original save/load dialog?)
