I am now at a loss as to what to do next. The only problem is, that I did not know at the time, that the website I had downloaded from was somewhat. So I made a post here explaining all of this. Every time I clicked the "Play now" or "Today's game" button, the game crashed. I could not hear any of the players talking (although their words did show up on the screen as text), I could not hear any music (during the intro or the game), and the big one: I could not actually play a game of baseball. While I could navigate around to the intro sequence, the trophy case, the player cards, the pick-up window, the league play sign-in, and I could even create teams, there were three things I could not do. Then, I downloaded ScummVM and uploaded the files to it, and the game actually showed up on the list! Then, I clicked on the game, and it opened!īut there was a problem. Obviously you need to use the correct path to the directory where you copied the files for the game.

Remove the space at the end of the line and add (without the quotes) /Contents/MacOS/scummvm -add -path/path/to/your/game. For the macintosh version of Backyard Baseball 2001, I think the detection code expects to see a 'Baseball 2001 (0)' file (and 'baseball2001.he0' for the PC version of the game). Drag and Drop the ScummVM application on the Terminal window. Then I had found files online that claimed to work with ScummVM. The list provided by Raziel is for the macintosh version of the first Backyard Baseball game. I had been looking to play Backyard Baseball 1997, and had found out that ScummVM was the best way to do it. Players do move differently on different fields, slower on sand and faster on turf.So I have posted here before. The game features pretty simple menus, baseball cards of all the players, rosters and schedules, a system of "Good & Bad Days" that alter players' stats (one person may not like Tuesdays, or be much better when a particular person is on the other team, etc). And, as with Backyard Sports titles, there are power-ups: pitches like the Big Freeze, Corkscrew, or Elevator. There's even batting practice, from Tee-ball to Hard difficulties, and a Spectator mode to let two teams duke it out while you watch.

Play a single game, or an entire season (winning pennants and trophies and maybe getting into the Hall of Fame), or even online against other BB2001 players. Various games by Humongous Entertainment use the SCUMM engine, and are therefore playable with ScummVM: Backyard Baseball Backyard Baseball 2001 Backyard. It was first released in October 1997 for Macintosh and Microsoft Windows. Pick a Backyard Sports team or create your own, or pick from 30 licensed MLB teams (with uniforms and logos). Backyard Baseball is a series of baseball video games for children which was developed by Humongous Entertainment and published by Atari. As coach, you pick from either the 30 fictitious Backyard Kits, 31 real major league players portrayed as kids, or both.
