Day of the Tentacle - ScummVM sound problem

Tofudragon · Post by **Tofudragon** » Fri Jun 12, 2009 2:50 pm

I apologise profusely if this has been posted a million times before, believe me I did search and cannot quite find the advice I am looking for - if I've overlooked a similar thread, please point me in the right direction.

Anyway, after craving a bit of childhood nostalgia I have downloaded a copy of Day of the Tentacle (did have it on disc many, many moons ago). The copy plays fine but lacks that classic sound/dialogue which is essential to the game.

After a bit of google-fu I was advised to download ScummVM to help fix the sound problem (problem I'm having is that only short sound effects are played and first second of voice dialogue).
I have installed ScummVM but the problem I am now faced with is that when I click 'Add Game' and select the DOTT file it says it can't find the game in the directory. I have tried putting the file and folder in program files but this hasn't worked also.

Please, please help - what am I doing wrong? What is stopping me from enjoying this game to it's full? Any advice is greatly appreciated, and I will add step by step guidance would be best I'm not fantastic with computers.

Thank you in advance!

Oh dear - I've just 'double clicked' and got it working. I'm so sorry for wasting your time, I'm a noob - show me the door!

Have a good weekend all!

Hi there

Make sure that the folder where you installed the game contains all the required data files. Check this page for more information:

All there thank you, I was doing the right thing and just not double clicking to go through the files. Trust me I'm kicking myself for not realizing.

Thanks for the help though!
