Can someone explain which folders to put what in coz I am baffled. I go every emu to work. (including that fiddly neo geo when u need to do all that zipin'). I just want to get DOTT on the go!!

Add the raw PC files to a folder (ie DOTT) and goto 'add game' and double-clik on the DOTT folder and select 'choose'. For DOTT, you only need these 3 files; tentacle.000, tentacle.001 and monster.sou. Once you guide the emu to the folder with these files it'll automatically detect the game and version, just simply press 'ok' and then load DOTT. Suffice to say, it doesn't work using zipped or iso files.

On the official ScummVM webpage theres a link somewhere detailing the relevant files needed for each game; although, you'll always be ok if you just add all the files from your game disc.

A truly excellent port of a great emulator and I recommend downloading Beneath a Steel Sky off the ScummVM website to anyone who hasn't given this emu a try.

Be sure to compress the monster.sou to mp3 to save space.

The app is called compress_scumm_sou.exe, its in the tools pack you can get from the SCUMMVM site (http://scummvm.org/downloads.php). You need to put a copy of lame.exe (MP3 encoder) in the dir also.

The DOTT monster.sou may give an error when you try to compress it, use the average bitrate parameter and it should work (compress_scumm_sou.exe --mp3 --abr monster.sou)

If you got DOTT from a P2P network it would probably already be compressed, so just copy the monster.so3 to the psp instead of monster.sou.
