Go to:

http://vdmsound.sourceforge.net/compat/

Look up "DOTT" and "Sam 'n Max" under the appropriate letters.

One of these solutions should work for you.

There are prior threads about this. You need to use the floppy version interpreter for DOTT to get music out of it. More information here.

As far as Sam'n'Max is concerned, I don't believe anyone has been able to get it running. You can always try the Quick and Easy program that's been talked about, but I'm not sure if it will yield playable results, if anything.

Actually, the entries in the database cover most of the variables.

And ScummVM is still around.

I stand corrected, then.

Dott is indeed working fine with roland support. The only problem i'm experiencing (which doesn't occur with SoundFX 2000) is that the animations seem to hang at some points, like in the intro just before Purple gets his 'arms'. Also, the first scene in the game proper hangs just after Bernard is left alone by his companions (Laverne and ...). Hitting ESC will skip the animation and allow you to continue the game, but you will miss some great stuff (and some clues...).
OK, now to the point... I found that you can continue the animation by hitting the '>' key. Anyone else experience this? Might be something to look into.

Yes. It's known. IIRC, Vlad had already looked at it and found no solution. Have you tried ScummVM? It's listed as 95% compatible with DOTT, so there may still be a glitch here and there.

...but it will probably work better than the original interpreter, from the sound of it.

Happens with SoundFX2000 as well, don't worry. It's more of a windows problem. You can decrease its frequency by increasing the buffer to 64kB (max) in the DOSS setup (or via TENTACLE.EXE command-line options).
