Guest nora2003 Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 Ive downloaded the pocketscumm got it running on my phone, I have day of the tentacle but dont know how to do run it, so if anyone can help please do Thanks
Guest James Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 you have to convert the game files then put them onto the phone... have a read of the attached notes:---nones.zip
Guest binary_refined Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 Create a sub folder where you've got your pocketscumm stored called tentacle (and nothing but tentacle! very important!). For example : Storage CardProgram FilesGamesPktSCUMMtentacle'. Then from your DOTT cd, copy the files tentacle.000 and tentacle.001 (from the DOTT folder on your cd) into the tentacle sub-folder you created on your phone. Run pocket pocketscumm and click the Games option button. Choose Scan from the menu. The click Games again. Now when you click the Play option, you should see an Day of the Tentacle option. Click on the game and you be in the land of polution drinking, power happy tentacles in no time. Hope this helps! ps. If anyone knows how to convert the monster.sou files then please post, because I have no idea how to.
Guest DOOManiac Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 In a semi related note, did they ever get a good SCUMM emu for PCs? I really wanna play Sam & Max again...
Guest nora2003 Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 Does all this have to be stored on the storage card, or can it be stored on the phone? Thanks for all your help!!
Guest binary_refined Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 If you ve got the space, you can store it anywhere. But I would recomend a storage card.
Guest zeta101 Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 @maniac, i think scumm is the actual emulator you want, scumm started out for pcs i think, so people could play old lucusarts games, but it was ported to ppc and then smartphone (and i think things like linux too)...bnut anyway look here: http://www.scummvm.org/
Guest nora2003 Posted January 24, 2004 Report Posted January 24, 2004 I know Im sounding like an idiot now, but I cant get it to work!! I installed the program in storagewindowsstart menugames, then dumped tentacle in, storagewindowsstart menugamestentacle, pocketscumm will load up then I will do a search, but nothing!! In the tentacle folder I have put in tentacle.000, tentacle.001 and monster.so3! Could this be due to running it on a spv e200!! Damn it im pulling my hair out now, I really want to play day of the tentacle while on the toilet!!! HELP!
Guest James Posted January 24, 2004 Report Posted January 24, 2004 install the game onto your storage card for a start.. place a shortcut for PocketScumm.exe in the directory: windowsstartprogramsgames then put the game files into the PocketScumm dir under the folder tentcle. then try again... also:- When you first start up PocketScumm, it needs to save certain information in a scummvm.ini file that is created. PocketScumm needs to find your game directories so click on 'Scan' at the bottom of the screen, select the correct directory, (a list of games present will be shown), then click on 'Scan' again and you'll see a nice, pretty formatted list of the games you can select.
Guest humz Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 I've got the game working but I have no sound? Do I have to edit the dott.ini file and change the hardware configuration or something?
Guest zeta101 Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 @matt the sound for DOTT is kept in the monster.sou file, so copy that over too. For all other people who have probkems with pocketSCUMM it might be a good idea to check out the following forum, its the main one for it and there are many posts about scumm: http://www.pocketmatrix.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=20
Guest humz Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 I found out what the problem was with the sound. You have to download a program called sou2mp3.exe and convert the monster.sou file to an so3 file. Then copy that to the tentacle folder. It works perfectly now.
Guest nora2003 Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 At last I have it working!!! I have found that it will only work if you store it on a storage card! Anywho I was just curious if the screen could be turned the other way, like on smart nes! Thanks to everyone who helped me out!!!
Guest Pondrew Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Just managed to get Monkey Island VGA floppy version and delighted with it. Ah, once again I'm able to bask in the inane cheerfulness of the Scumm Bar's background music!
Guest xavierjohn22 Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 Wait till you try Fate of Atlantis, Sam n Max.. and other talkie versiöns. Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Pondrew Posted April 26, 2004 Report Posted April 26, 2004 Well I had been playing Beneath A Steel Sky (CD version with speech) but the game itself doesn't have the magic that Monkey Island does - but what game does huh?
Guest xavierjohn22 Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Sam N Max ör Simön thé Sörcerer maybé. Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Pondrew Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Never liked Simon the Sorcerer myself but... My favourites (aside from the Monkey Island games) are Loom and Day of the Tentacle: Maniac Mansion 2.
