ERROR using: Day of the Tentacle

Post by blocq »

okay, i just tried the scummVM for PSP, and it works for me with:
Maniac Mansion, Indy 3, Indy 4 and Monkey Island 1..
But my problem is, that everytime i start DotT, i get an error that tells me "Missing 45.lfl"

The fact that there is no 45.lfl in any folder i have from DotT is very strange, and i saw a couple of you guys/girls playing DotT on the PSP.

Does anyone know something about that problem??

My PSP FW: 1.5
My scummVM Version: 0.8.2
My DotT Folder contains:
00.LFL to 17.LFL
ADLIB.IMS
ARJ.EXE
DOTT.EXE
DOTT.ICO
DOTT.INI
DOTT.PIF
MANIAC.OVL
MONSTER.SOU
NULL.IMS
README
SAVEGAME.001
TENTACLE.000
TENTACLE.001
TENTACLE.EXE
TENTACLE.PIF
And another problem is with Broken Sword 1 and 2.. i got them on CD, but i cant figure it out, how to start them on my PSP..
Has anyone a DOS downloadlink or something for those two games?
(if this is not allowed, please delete the second question).

Thanks for the advance, and keep this nice work up scummVM team!

I don't know the answer for your first query but I may be able to help with the Broken Sword one.

To run Broken Sword you just need to copy the required files from the CD's into a folder and ScummVM will be able to detect it from there. If the files on your CD are hidden in an installer then I guess you need a Windows machine to install it on first, then copy the files to a folder on your memory stick. A list of the files needed is here.

I remember hearing about some problem with our game detector when running DOTT when MM files are present (in the maniac/ dir?).
Try putting just TENTACLE.000, TENTACLE.001 and MONSTER.SOU in a directory and see if it works then.

i just tried it before i got outta work, just with those files, and it worked fine!
it were the LFL files that were creating the error!
thanks for help..

so for all ppls, just delete the LFL files and use those 3 files!
works fine for me, with Voice!

Just copy the relevant files from your original CDs to a directory on your memory stick and it should work.
