![]() ![]() You may sometime find that all keys don't work, just click the game window and it should start working again. This does not happen very often, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Your character will leave black tracks where he moves (this isn't to bad though, it will not obstruct the game).Īlso, the sound may become funky at times, the only workaround for this that I can find, is to save the game, and restart (the sound should be fine again). The game will run fine, but with some flaws. Make sure to always start it with the "Play Fullscreen" button. The game may crash if you use the CDs while playing. After a while it will ask for CD2, pop it in the drive and continue. It may seem to freeze, but it is simply working. The Launcher will ask you to place CD1 in the drive, do that and let it continue. When the patch is installed, click "Options" and then "Run Grim From Hard Drive" Follow the instructions for the installer. Let it install the patch (this is the only way I got the path installation program to work). ![]() The Launcher should comment on that you have not installed the patch for the game, and if you would like to do so now. Start the launcher from the menu (notice the emulated desktop around the launcher window). There are still some things to be done for the game to run well. Step 6: Starting the Launcher for The First Time You should now be able to find "Grim Fandango" in your games menu. Sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/sktopĪnd copy & paste this into the newly opened file (Again: make sure to replace: with your username): Now, copy paste this into the file (make sure to replace: with your username) (if you are using Kubuntu, replace gedit with kwrite, if you are using Xubuntu replace it with mousepad) grimfandango" in your console), and move "Grim Launcher.exe" to this directory.ĭownload this icon () to the. grimfandango in your home directory ("mkdir. Install the game to wherever you like.ĭo not install the patch yet! (released by LucasArts to fix some bugs and add Windows XP compability), that comes later!Ĭreate the folder. Now, simply pop the Grim Fandango CD1 into your drive and launch the installation program. Now, click "Apply" and close the configuration window I prefer 1024x768 since I think it gives me enough room to actually do something, but that is up to you (and the game will scale it anyway). Grim Fandango will not run in full screen (or windowed, as is made possible by the launcher you will get later), but rather, you need to configure wine to emulate a virtual desktop, and run the game in full screen inside that (which will work best).Ĭlick on the "Graphics" Tab and check "Emulate a virtual desktop", now you need to define the size for this desktop. Open up a terminal and type these commands (for gutsy, if you use a different version of ubuntu, follow the instructions here: Wine Download I could not find any good tutorial for this on the forum (or on the net), so I decided to compile one myself :)įor this you need the official build of Wine (not the ubuntu build), in case you haven't already added this repository, this is how you do it: It will function somewhat good without these steps, but it might cause wine to crash (something that never happened to med after I did this). In this guide, we'll see how to configure ScummVM to make classic adventures look good on modern PCs with flat-panel Full HD displays.This is a game I had trubble getting to work. Ludvig expanded ScummVM to support more "adventure game engines", practically turning it from "a modern SCUMM alternative" to "a single multi-engine solution for playing hundreds of classic adventures on modern PCs".Īlthough we'll see how to import games to ScummVM in this article, too, it's best if you check our article on what is ScummVM and how to use it to play classic adventure games for more information on SCUMM and ScummVM. Lucasfilm Games' adventures were some of the best but far from the only ones. That's why Ludvig Strigeus created ScummVM, an updated re-implementation of the classic SCUMM for modern PCs. Our computers' evolution led to incompatibilities and instability for the titles that used SCUMM. Created by Ron Gilbert at Lucasfilm Games, SCUMM was a combination of a scripting language and a game engine that assisted in creating adventure games. ![]()
