Day Of The Tentacle & Sam N Max

This is a discussion about Day Of The Tentacle & Sam N Max in the Windows Games category; OK I give up, How do we make these puppies work in XP, DOTT bails at intro screen, Sam N Max has no sound, & surprise surprise Lucas arts are cheeky gits. Any help would be kindly appreciated. p. s. s Im running them in compatibility mode, Havent actually tried them without it but I feel it would be a tad silly to try.

Compatibility mode is not for DOS games.
 
 
Make sure you configure the sound properly for each game.
 
Windows XP's Sound emulation: SFX SB16 Port 200 IRQ=5 DMA=1
 
Day of the Tentacle (floppy) does not require any messing around with memory settings just sound. If your using the CD you may still experience sound problems.
 
Sam & Max doesn't require any memory configuration either.
 
 
Try VDMSound (link on main page) over XP's in inferior sound emulation. It may fix your problems and it also helps with not having to do as much memory configuration.

OP
Sam N Max works without sound,
When I attempt to configure the sound, It claims Imuse.exe fails ?
Any Ideas?

"Any Ideas?"
 
Yep. Dual boot with either win98se or win95osr2.
You'll get sound and music with sb support. But you'll have to manually configure your irq's for either 3,5, or 7 on the sound card.
