Full Throttle in Win XP

[Daeval]

I realize this is a real stab in the dark, but has anyone gotten lucasart's Full Throttle to work on Windows XP? I did it a few months ago, using VDM Sound, but now I can't get it to work without really crappy sound stuttering.

 

I'm using VDM Sound for Sound Blaster emulation, and had to limit the dos timing to get things to come out at the right speed. That's the only tweak I've made to VDM Sound's standard settings.

 

I also tried playing with the direct x sound accelleration settings, and they seemed to have a very minor effect - but nothing to write home about.

 

I tried ScummVM, to no avail. I'm pretty sure it uses the same sound emulation as VDM Sound anyway.

 

I'm on a P4 2.8, 512MB, SB Audigy

 

Suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

I'm a big fat flocking liar.

 

I tried ScummVM again.. For some reason, it works perfectly..

Yeah...I was just about to say that SCUMMVM plays it pretty well. According to the SCUMMVM site it says it's 85% compatible.

Well it DID flock up pretty bad the first time I ran it with ScummVM. Not sure entirely why it's decided to work now.

 

Y'know what might look better on your nose?

People should strive to own every older (and some newer) adventure games by LucasArts and Sierra. Bestest ever.

 

btw dudes, Day of the Tentacle still owns every other adventure game out there; not by much when compred to other LA games, but still.

Yeah, I've got DOTT sitting around for when I'm done with Full Throttle. FT and The Dig were two of my favorites. I also have something called "the journeyman project" that my dad's friend gave to him when I was younger, and I never played it. I think it's an adventure game too.

 

As for getting these the legal way, look for the LucasArts collections. One of them has Full Throttle, The Dig, and Monkey Island 1 & 2 (and Afterlife, but that isn't an adventure game).

 

Another one has Day of the Tentacle (which includes Maniac Mansion), Sam n' Max, and Indiana Jones: Somethingorother.

 

Between the two of them, that's pretty much every old Lucasarts adventure game aside from Grim Fandango.

Indiana Jones: Somethingorother.

That would be Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

 

It kicks ass.

Since we're talking about adventure games, you should also get the Quest for Glory Anthology. That thing is awesome.

And Police Quest Colection, Leisure Suit Larry Collection, Kings Quest Collection and all three Legend of Kyrandias.
