Trouble with using Scummvm

Chananigans · Post by **Chananigans** » Sat Dec 17, 2011 10:48 pm

I'm pretty new to using this program and I've successfully got Discworld II and Monkey Island 3 working but I can't seem to figure out how I get both Sam & Max and Day of the Tentacle working.

When I go to 'Add game' the names of the files are greyed out and I'm not sure how to add this game!

Can anybody help me please?

ScummVM is waiting for you to specify a folder to look in. That's why the files themselves are grayed out. It won't start to look for a game in the selected folder until you press the Choose button.

Thank you!

I really am no good at this!

Is this the same principle for playing a game like Toonstruck? Or does this game work differently?

I have tried adding game but it says the game is unknown. I'm not so sure what to do from here.

Is Toonstruck even supported in the stable build, yet?

According to the NEWS file, it should be supported in 1.3.0 and later.

The procedure for adding all the games is basically the same, but you'll need the correct set of files in the directory you add. You can see a full(ish) list here (Toonstruck specifically here. Put the directories it says into one folder, and then add it with ScummVM).

You can see a list of all the games that are officially supported here.
