Toonstruck - I have the discs, but how can I play?

[rob8000]

Hi there,

I have used ScummVM in the past (for games like DOTD and such), but I have no idea how to get Toonstruck to work. I have the discs as I bought it about 15 years ago, but I have no idea how to get it to work (e.g. I have no clue as to how Daily Builds work, etc.)

Would anyone be so kind as to write me a list of instructions?

Thanks very much.

Hi there,

A good start would be to read the manual (http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/User_Manual).
If you have more specific questions, don't hesitate to ask

Best regards,

I was just about to add if you've used ScummVM then that's all you need to know. The daily builds are a bit more up to date. That's all.

What I did was drag the contents of both discs onto a folder on my hard drive, then direct Scumm to that folder.

Thanks for all of the feedback.

I've done what the above poster has done also, but ScummVM isn't picking it up do I need a 'daily build'? I understand what a DB is but I'm totally unsure of how to install one.

EDIT: I am using 1.2.1, which I believe is the latest version. I have copied both discs' contents into a folder on the C drive (that I've called ToonStruck), and, on ScummVM, I've clicked Add Game when the aforementioned folder is highlighted, but nothing

Sorted!

Using a daily build.

Thanks for the support, everyone.

Hello,

does someone know if last part's bug is corrected if the game is launched with scummvm ?
yes, in the castle, when you put the air conditioning too hot in order to get the key hidden in the aquarium you always arrive too late on some faster cpu (>Pentium 100mhz if i remember well).
(there's a crash for similar reason on space quest 6 at the begenning of the 2nd part).

i'm using french release (excuse my poor english quality so).

Hi kawickboy.

SylvainTV fixed several bugs present in the original games, most of them related to timer issues. The more obvious ones, iirc, were the gift-o-matic and the Wacman.

I played several times the game some months ago to find bugs and completed the game without any issue the last time I played. I had to try 2 or 3 times before getting this key, but not more, even if my CPU is somewhat faster than 100Mhz.

So... Grab your originals and give it a try

Best regards,
Strangerke

2 or 3 times is normal in the history in my remains. Thanks for this fast answer.

Hi. I'm playing the game in Spanish and when I look the book in the wolf's cave from the inventory I get this screen.



Thanks.

Sounds like this bug. It was supposedly fixed a few weeks ago, but I don't know if the fix made it into 1.3.1 or if it was only fixed in the development version.

[kurt]

Yes, it is.

I've scummvm 1.3.1 and this error appears.

Thanks eriktorbjorn.

I just started the game and I have no on screen buttons for menu or anything of that sort... Also when trying to speak to the npcs it skips straight to ending the conversations, I can see The buttons on the bottom left corner of the screen flash for a second then disappear... any help or insight would really be appreciated

Also when trying to speak to the npcs it skips straight to ending the conversations,

The computer I run ScummVM on is currently out of order, so this answer is theoretical. That one sounds like the kind of problem you'd get in some game engines if the files containing the speech are missing or damaged/truncated. Did you copy all the necessary files from the discs?
