Have tried ScummVM but doesn't work very well (for me anyway). This way the game doesn't need the CD, so no complications, and since the HD isn't "read only" you can save your games. C:\DOTT\) and run through DOSBox from this folder. Simple way around this is to copy the contents of the disc to a folder on the HD (e.g. When I tried to run and play this game from the disc, it worked fine until I tried to save, producing the error "Save failed (disc full?)" due to the "read only" property of the CD. Along with Quick & Easy frontend, ScummVM takes the cake on this game. I have to agree with the previous poster. I have it installed on my hard drive, and it works perfectly with Dosbox 0.70. Hard drive installation took about 268MB. Game ran perfectly with little or no adjustment, although I have played this game many times and just went straight to the ending. I also just completed the game on a P4 2.8GHz with the contents installed on the hard drive. Only DOSBox will provide compatibility with the original DOS version's savestates.

You can easily use the same install of DOTT (copied over from the CD) in both DOSBox and ScummVM on the same PC, although save states are not compatible between the two.

ScummVM running DOTT is much faster, however, with greatly improved load times over the original DOS version, and is much less CPU-intensive - which makes it much better suited for lower-spec PCs and portable laptops on battery than DOSBox. (On ScummVM, Maniac Mansion has to be started as a separate game.)

Works fine under DOSBox 0.73, including the Maniac Mansion sub-game on Ed's computer - which is not as yet playable in-game in ScummVM (or with VDMSound on XP/2000 32-bit, both of which otherwise run DOTT well).Ĭurrently the only way to play DOTT including Maniac Mansion on Ed's computer on a modern PC is to use DOSBox. The audio timing is thrown off on fast CPUs, even with LucasArts' latest DOTT patches (something VDMSound patched, perhaps also DOSBox as it used VDMSound's source - although DOSBox can easily emulate a slower CPU).

Other virtual machines (MS Virtual PC, VMWare, etc.) have serious problems running DOTT. Unfortunately, it only works on Windows XP/2000 32-bit edition (thank you Microsoft!)

VDMSound, as well as running DOTT well with full audio (using NTVDM, Microsoft's Windows NT Virtual DOS Machine), is also compatible with the original DOS savestates (including those saved in DOSBox) in DOTT and many similar games. Ich habe aber warscheinlich zu ´wenig system speicher :( Lieder zu langsam die stimmen kann man nicht erkennen :( My default "cycles" is set to 20,000 and it took me an hour of fiddling around with my configuration to find the solution.ĭosbox 0.73 (unter Linux) läuft eigentlich gut aber

If you are not getting any voices on the talkie version of Day of the Tentacle then reduce your "cycles" to 10,000 or lower. Also the file "DOTT.EXE" from the CD root folder which works as the setup program.ĪMD Mobility RADEON HD 5000 Series (5650)Ġ.74 - Read this if you are not getting any voices! ( 04:56) Works fine, i copy the content of the "DOTT" folder from the CD to the game folder. I'm sure that there is a solution nearby.Day of the Tentacle (cdrom talkie) - LucasArts (1993)Īdventure, good graphicic with voices - Supported ( 21:10) 3 - Some other way that I'm not realizing.

I believe that there are 3 ways to do that: 1 - Make DOSBox running in Vista or Windows 7 support Parallel Port by itself 2 - Make a program like "Port Talk" that allow DOSBox Megabuild access LPT port but that I can install in Vista or Win 7 instead of just XP or NT4. What I must do next: Make my LPT port available to my program. Just DOSBox Megabuild has parallel support but it needs a "Port Talk" program installed that does not work in Vista or Windows 7 (just in XP or NT). What I'm doing right now: I'm running my old DOS program using "DOSBox" and "DOSBox Megabuild" with success regarding the sound. Nevertheless it has a Express Card slot and I have a Quatech Express Card PCI-to-Parallel adapter that creates a real LPT port in Windows (not a virtual one like Usb adapters). What I have: - A modern Sony Vaio with no parallel connection. This program also uses sound in coordination with lights. What I need: - To run an old DOS based program that controls small lights of a hardware that use parallel connection. I'm in trouble trtying to run and old but important medical device for me.
