According to the ScummVM project support forum (along with all the other emulator project support forums), if you needed to file a support ticket with them concerning their emulator and your game, they would expect you to possess the actual game disks with the game files extracted from said disks in order to be officially supported. Otherwise, if you stated on the record that you downloaded the game files for free online, they would deny you customer service as they don't condone piracy as a way to defend themselves from getting shut down for promoting piracy / abandonware like activities on their official project site.

As for legacy games that are on sale at digital distribution websites like GOG and Zoom Platform, that's where I'd look for them first and foremost as a way to get them legally as they are reasonably priced and DRM-free up front.

I am chagrined that I fell for an adbot.

Well, thanks for sharing.

My pleasure :-) I still love the Internet Archive's Software Library though.

It's just that I'm an autistic adult who happens to communicate like a robot at times, especially while online.

Hope that helps! :D
