Just to clarify: added support for Riven relatively recently (in development builds, then stable with version 2.7.0). Before that, you had to rely on the original executable or third-party tools.
It sounds like you’re referring to the game (the sequel to Myst ) and its support in ScummVM — the engine that lets you play classic point-and-click adventure games on modern systems.
Otherwise, if you’re just discovering this — yes, playing Riven in ScummVM is a much smoother way to experience the game compared to the original Windows 95/Mac release or even the realMyst spin-offs.
