Day of the Tentacle and ScummVM

[Picard]

Simply, how can i get day of the tentacle work on amiga with scummvm?
I have ScummVM 0.10.0r2 and 8MB version of "DOTT".I get error: unable to open 'openpci.library' version 1.

Can somebody send it to me or in the zone if it's missing? thx.

Sounds like this has been built to include support for a PCI gfx card.

Look for a tool-type or switch which can specify AGA only.

Or maybe you just need to install openPCI?

[alexh]

Where did you get it from?

It says in the GUIDE

To run ScummVM with AGA, there is a 'No CyberGraphX' mode. This mode is activated, if CyberGraphX or P96 CGX emulation are not installed.

So I speculate you have either CGX or P96 installed.

Do you have a gfx card?

if you just want to play day of the tentacle, you may consider this : http://amiga.h-plus-t.com/

I downloaded scummVM from http://freenet-homepage.de/uweryssel/scumm_en.html

I only have desktop A1200 with 2MB Chip and 68030/50 with 32mb ram and HD.

Hmmm... Appears to be something to do with AHI6

Googling the net:

In DEVS:AHI there is the emu10kx.audio driver ... so by deleting this emu10kx.audio driver, there is no more request about openpci.library...

Let us know if that works

I deleted emu10kx.audio driver and it doesn't give that error anymore.

I got that tentacle working from http://amiga.h-plus-t.com/ but i dont have any music or sounds.Any ideas?

[kriz]

And all libraries is installed, from readme.

If you really want to play this game to the fullest, you should use a modern Mac/PC and get the "talkie" CD-ROM.

You'll enjoy it much more.

as outlines by kriz it's probably the ptreplay.library missing...you may also want ot execute a chunky pixel patch (blazewcp for os3.1+) before launching the game as it may improve game speed drastically....check README for details...

I tried it and it ran quite slow on my 1200 with 68060-50. Maybe, I didn't optimize it enough, but I think running it on a 030 will be painful. I couldn't get the music to run either and that's a shame, because the music/sfx are awesome.

try older versions of scummvm. They tend to have got slower and slower the bigger scummvm got. I did finiish dott when WarpScumm was in development all those years ago which ran the game perfectly on ppc

[kriz]

you tried this version : http://amiga.h-plus-t.com/ ? Its an older scummvm ready compiled.

[alexh]

The fastest version of SCUMMVM for the Amiga is WarpScumm

http://www.algonet.se/~chaozer/warpscumm.shtml

But it is quite old.

Shame that a developer version of WarpSDL was never released.

really with the link we provided you, i was able to complete dott with music on my vanilla 1200 (68ec20 14mhz) 2mb chipram 8mb fastram at really good speed...check the readme file and use one of the chunkypixels patch provided with the pack...
