I would love it if Tales could be remastered by Skunkape, they've done such a good job on Sam and Max. Speaking of...Devil's Playhouse is out and reviewed get it bought everyone.

Certainly, if someone shares cd images of it. We've never been able to track it down beyond seeing it on ebay.

Ogg tracks are for ScummVM, with DREAMM you'll need to import the original cd image.

I think you can rip the N64 soundbanks into a soundfont. Maybe try doing that and then playing the midi using that soundfont.

Merged the post into this thread. Good stuff 👍

For CMI we have cd images for all except Russian and Korean. I think Russian is a fan translation and as you've found, just a rip for Korean. We do not have Chinese EMI and Grim. I'm not sure about Grim being an official release. I know there was a Grim Chinese fan translation and it seems unlikely they would have gone to all that trouble if there was an official version available.

As elTee said, Fate of Atlantis Japanese is the big remaining missing one but there's also some games for which there are ripped copies but not disk images. (Ripped refers to a copy of the files from when the game has been installed). Disk images are much better for preservation and its easier to tell if they've been modified. If you have any of these games or know someone who does please let us or Aaron know. Do you have any of these?

Saw this today and thought of this thread: https://en.todocoleccion.net/video-games-pc/monkey-island-2-le-chucks-revenge-edicion-arte-limitada-personalizada~x372703554 The price is ridiculous of course, but its nicely done.

A basic example of that here https://skynetde.github.io/scummvm-shader-comparison/

For posterity I am answering my own question, there was indeed a BBS contest demo. Its the non-interactive demo that we already have. That demo that we have is unpacked, the original was in an installer file and came with README.TXT and CONTEST.TXT that explain the competition. Here they are: README.TXT: Thanks for downloading the Day of the Tentacle demo. This demo has voice and music for those of you with a Sound Blaster or SB compatible. Adlib users will be able to hear the music only. To run the demo just type "install". Follow the onscreen instructions You will need 535k free memory. A small help file is available by typing dottdemo help. Be sure to enter our demo related contest for a chance to win this zany new game. CONTEST.TXT APRIL 15, 1993 "Read my suction cup . . . no more taxes!" Are you forking hard earned cash over to Uncle Sam? Elect Purple Tentacle ruler of the world, and never pay taxes again. After all, when tentacles come into power and humans are kept as pets, you'll never have to file another 1040 form (of course, you'll also be forced to sleep in a cage and do stupid pet tricks at human shows). Is this the warped ranting of a crazed, power-hungry politico? NO! It's the warped ranting of LucasArts Entertainment Company announcing its newest game, Day of the Tentacleª. This sequel to Maniac Mansion¨ is a wacky, interactive cartoon comedy in which you must stop tentacles from taking over the world. Controlling three off-the-wall kids (who wind up in three different time periods), you scramble to turn back time and prevent tentacle takeover.

Sounds like something that could be done on Mojo maybe? In the past we have talked about doing things like that for the games database.

Both Darkside detective games are great. Kroms recommended them to me ages ago and I've since completed them both.

Me too. Monkey Island Heardle #298 🔉🟥🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ #MonkeyIslandHeardle

Blondebeard's 25 year, long game has finally reached its end. I look forward to the announcements of Psychonauts 3: Razputin's Domain and iMuse Island the album.

Done it, just sorting uploading to Mojo next. 👍

I made a Python script to do it for MI1+2 Special Editions, when Marius wanted them for one of his videos. It also turns out when I used it that there was a bunch of concept art from the DVD that we didn't have in the Mojo galleries. Come to think of it I'm not sure that ever got added to Mojo. I'll look at adapting the script for the DOTT tiles. Ideally I would add the tile-stitching feature into Doublefine Explorer and Monkey SE Explorer but the programs aren't really designed for displaying images like that, every time I've started to add it I've got annoyed at the amount of refactoring it needs and not bothered.

My guess is that FullMonkeyMap is the issue. From memory, I think the files are named the same on both cd's but have different contents. ScummVM makes you rename the files from both cd's and uses both. If someone patches it to make it work without the cd's then they also need to patch the FullMonkeyMap file (I don't have the gog version but I'm guessing this is what they've done in it). In my EMI Launcher program as part of the nocd patch I add this to 'Textures\FullMonkeyMap.imt'. I'm on a different computer right now so I cant check but I'm guessing its the contents of FullMonkeyMap from cd 2. https://github.com/bgbennyboy/Escape-From-Monkey-Island-Setup-and-Launcher/blob/master/EMI Launcher/uEMIConst.pas#L114

The beta also supports Afterlife, Tie Fighter Cd, Rebel Assault 2, amazing stuff.

They worked for me when I dragged on cd images of those games.

For me Devil's Playhouse was the best Telltale game and one of my favourite adventures, its superb. Really looking forward to this.

I've finally got around to doing a full release of Thimbleweed Park Explorer, or as its now known Dinky Explorer. Thanks mainly to the hard work of one man reverse engineering machine Jan Frederick it now fully supports ReMI, including images, sounds and decompiling the scripts. It even allows patching of the weird.dink script to do things like enabling debug mode features. I'm looking forward to seeing people create their own patches and sharing them. More details and download here.

I think dinky is the scripting language, for ReMI the engine internally seems to be called WeirdEngine

Its under heavy development at the moment , a lot of ReMI stuff has been added. I added support for dumping the audio a few hours ago. I'm not doing a new official release until I can think of a new name for it. Grumpy Explorer is one possibility, any other suggestions welcomed.

We've been updating TP Explorer to add support for ReMI but its still a work in progress. Proper music dumping will come in the next release, I have it working manually but I done the code to do it automatically yet.

Also the closeups are about 0.5% of the graphics in the game. Surely everyone loves that EGA sunset.
