DS Misc > DOTT for ScummVM

#63871 - ?hr - Sat Dec 17, 2005 1:43 am

How do I put/convert DOT(German | whole game) on/for my DS(M3) and run it? I know i have to put it in a uncompressed zip-file, but the folder of DOTT is about 238MB! I think i have to put TENTACLE.000 and TENTACLE.001 in the zip(only 10,8MB w00t?), but do i have to put more in the zip?
Heres a picture of the folder(/DOTT):

you can't use the "talkie" version of games in scummvm it has to be less than 32 megs. i believe there should be a .sou file that you will have to leave out.
the next version will allow you to play it directly of the cf card so you may wanna wait for that.

Talkies work fine using the GBAMP, you just dump it all on the compact flash card.
(litarly, all of it)

Not sure about the M3, but I assume its the same.
It will just read data of the card. (not ram)

Naw, not yet, although Agentq is putting M3 support into the next version as he's updating to the newest version of Chism's CF driver...which has support for the M3.

in the next version(of scummvm or firmware of M3?), it is possible to play the whole game?
can i play maniac mansion?


Which games can i play with scummvm already(i mean only whole games, no demos)?

#63902 - agentq - Sat Dec 17, 2005 2:21 pm

You can play the whole game, including saves.

All games up to and including Sam & Max work, although Sam & Max has some dodgy areas.

The M3 is not supported yet (it will be very soon) so you will only be able to use 30Mb of data. All the non-talkie versions of these games are under 30Mb.

can i convert a game to a non-talkie version?

#63906 - agentq - Sat Dec 17, 2005 2:44 pm

Not that I know of, although you might want to try just chopping the audio file until it fits.

Just remove monster.sou and put it on DS.

#63910 - ?hr - Sat Dec 17, 2005 3:51 pm

I can't do this now, i get the m3 on 24.12.
When i do this with ScummVM(on PC) DOTT a console comes down(after a while) and says:

startTalkSound: SFX file is not open

i think the same happens on the ds too...

Two bits.

One you can get around by either turning the sound off, or emptying your inventory.
The other one you simple have to skip a short cutscene :)

ScummVM DS is quite amazingly stable judgeing by my expirence with MI2 & Sam and Max.
(DOTT is next on my list)

I can personaly vouch for Sam and Max and Monkey Island 2.

Day of the Tentical seemed also to work fine, allthough I only played the first 10 minutes of it.

Day of the Tentical techicaly includes Manic Mansion...but I heard somewhere MM was one of the few games not yet working.

So Im not sure if that counts MM in DOTT or not.

Other games like Loom and Zakk seem to work, but have slightly more glitchys.

#63920 - MaHe - Sat Dec 17, 2005 5:56 pm

DOTT works perfectly, I'm stuck though.

SPOILER WARNING!

Where could I make vinegar?

#63927 - ?hr - Sat Dec 17, 2005 6:07 pm

maniac mansion cant be loaded on scummvm if you load it in DOTT.
You have to load mm separate(i tested it in SVM PC).

Can i play the whole Monkey Island I on ds already?

#63939 - MaHe - Sat Dec 17, 2005 8:42 pm

Yup.

hehe.

~sigh~
I wish LucasArts didnt give up on the genra.

They used to specificaly NOT make Starwars games, in order to prove their artworm. Fat chance of that now..its all brand-name, generic, well defined market-friendly genras.

Oh well, at least theres a new Sam and Max comeing :)

#64010 - El Hobito - Sun Dec 18, 2005 2:29 pm

yeah but the new sam and max isnt being made by lucasarts though is it? i wish they'd make a new grim fandango cos that was hillarious

#64012 - Darkflame - Sun Dec 18, 2005 3:08 pm

Its made by the creator of the due though. (dispite the fact he works at PIXAR now!). He is also doing a webcomic as well.
