Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREEPublisher's Description
From /dev/klog:
Riven X is the rebirth of the best episode in the MYST saga for Mac OS X. The same content, the same wonder, a brand-new engine. Although Rivenâ?¢ was released in 1997 for both Mac OS and Windows, it was never updated to be a native Mac OS X application. With Intel Macs becoming dominant meaning the loss of the Classic environment, something had to be done in order for future generations of Mac users to enjoy Riven. Thanks to the work of dedicated individuals, in particular Tito Dal Canton, the Riven data files were reversed engineered, thus paving the way for a new engine.
What's new in this version: Version 0.9.8 addresses the missing sound effects and music issue in 0.9.7 and fixes a large number of bugs and includes over a year of, admittedly sparse, development. In particular, it fixes the QuickTime version check issues people have reported on recent versions of Snow Leopard.

"Thank you Tito Dal Canton, et al."
Version: Riven X 0.9.8
Pros
Effortless installation. Works nearly without flaw on Mac OS 10.7 Lion. No sound glitches whatsoever.
Cons
The setup is problematic for those of us who do not have access to contrast adjustments, but I really did not need access to one with my iMac monitor. No menu available on full screen setting. On full screen the only keyboard shortcut that works, which I could find, is command Q to quit. Otherwise F3 or F4. I've only been using it for two days; I can't remember how I saved yesterday's game, but it's do able.
Summary
Rivin is a beautiful and often under-rated piece de resistance of the late 90's gaming era. Each frame is a work of art. More of a puzzle than an arcade game its images stuck with me for years. I was nevertheless reluctant to resurrect it on on any platform due to its labor intensive, nuanced installation protocols -- not to mention the glitches. Well, after years of absence I thought I'd give it a go once again only to find a sound error insurmountable. Thankfully, after hours spent surfing for an answer, I stumbled across this update on CNET. What a blessing it has been to rekindle this old work of art. I can only hope the original stills are intact, so that one day the the resolution may be upgraded as well. Well done Tito Dal Canton, et al. Well done.
I don't know if the Debug did it, but I now have full keyboard shortcut access. Still no Mac menu, but you don't need it, and you might not want it interfering with the graphics. If I could increase my rating to five stars, I would. Tito is onto something here.
