If you mean:

Playing DoTT through ScummVM on an Amiga (or winuae), then no.. that's like recording it from the PC, don't want that.

Playing ScummVM on the PC and record from there, then no, that's not Amiga.

I only record Amiga games, or ports.

"as WinUAE should be fast enough for it?"
Yes, WinUAE could handle DoTT, and even DoTT using ScummVM, I'm sure.

@DDNI: Thanks, will try the game out then.
Only one option for me and that is playing it through WinUAE, playing the port.

Technically, it's still a port of the ScummVM engine. It's just modified for using only DOTT on AGA and using MODs. But you are of course free to choose if it qualifies for a longplay

Ironclaw · 17 March 2007, 17:47

If scummvm isn't required to run it on an Amiga, it's a port imo

, and therefor qualified

.

Ok, but you are running ScummVM. The exe is the ScummVM executable just renamed to tentacle.exe. It's only forced to run DOTT.

Have fun

And thanks for your work on the longplays, they're nice.

Ahh, if that's the case, I think there should be no reason why the game wouldn't run decently thoughout.

But before I play this game I will have to finish other games and stuff...

Thanks for the info y'all.

I have OS 3.1.

I have tested the game in WinUAE, with 2 mb of chip and 8mb of fast. The game works slow and scroll abrupt.

Thanks avanced!

you must edit the sys:s/startup-sequence file...the first line should already be "setpatch quiet" and just after this you should add the "C:blazewcp" line...without the blazewcp patch yes the game will be very slow...let me know! and to others: yes the game can be completed...

frikilokooo · 17 March 2007, 20:37

I have installed OS 3.1 in WinUAE but I cannot see drawer “S”, then I select “to see all the archives” and already I can see and enter in drawer “S”,the problem is that attempt to enter startup sequence but appears this one message to me:

I press then ok and appears this:

I only have installed WB 3.1 without WHDLoad and other programs,I do not understand so that hidden files exist that if you select that they are "visible" and do not work

I hope that you can to help to me,please!

Ironclaw · 17 March 2007, 20:55

try

execute startup-sequence

thor · 17 March 2007, 21:36

if you don't have edited your startup-sequence yet then you can try:

ed s:startup-sequence

then add

C:BlazeWcp

to it after the setpatch line and save. Then reboot.

frikilokooo · 17 March 2007, 22:08

thor I have followed your instructions and the game already works to me very well, you have been helpful thanks!

frikilokooo · 17 March 2007, 22:31

Is the game only in English or there are more languages?,I would like in spanish.

DamienD · 17 March 2007, 22:45

Hmmm, not sure...

Look on ScummVM website, ScummVM forum or other websites to try and find patches

Not sure if they will work with the Amiga "port" though, guess so if the standard English DOTT file are used (don't quote me though)

thor · 17 March 2007, 22:49

Try replacing the files tentacle.000 and tentacle.001 with the ones from the spanish version.

Really???

*** sorry, I only made that comment as once I created a thread called "Day of the Testicle" or something similar ***

thor · 17 March 2007, 23:03

You had a drink or ten, haven't you

DamienD · 17 March 2007, 23:16

Me????? Never...

*** Ok, yes I have (not 10 though)... It's Saturday night... but seriously though, read this thread and you will know why I said that; Day of the Tenticle ***

thor · 17 March 2007, 23:22

Hehe, not even intentional. As for testicle.000 and .001, I would never try to replace them with Spanish ones, but then I don't know about English ones either

DamienD · 17 March 2007, 23:26

hahahah...

Trust me, English ones work damn well
