Ah, you're using a GAMEPAD. Well that's silly, since games like this were made for keyboard and mouse... but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Have you tried DOSBox? I'm not sure if this is a protected-mode game or not.

Mo'Slo does NOT slow down the processor, it just eats up clock cycles. Try DOSBox. (Does anyone have a public beta link?) It has MSCDEX support now and should run SCI games fine.

heh, wow. Impressive. ... *cough* heh Screensavers are pretty much useless nowadays. There's pretty much no risk of burn-in on any monitor, and they're just there for the prettiness. I recommend saving energy and just shutting off your monitor.. I'm not sure how/why your screensaver would turn on if …

~sigh~ COMPATIBILITY MODES ARE FOR WINDOWS GAMES ONLY. Now that we've got that out of the way, thanks for providing us with your system specs as per the posting guidelines which are on the top of every forum. ALSO, there are WINDOWS PORTS. Like, Tenebrae. Use those.

😒 It doesn't work like that! It's just like DOS. You run it, you get a pseudo-DOS prompt. You mount a directory using the MOUNT command, you do everything else just like DOS. If you don't know how to use DOS I suggest you type 'HELP' inside DOSBox or find a good beginning DOS tutorial on the web.

Will you please give us some better specs on your system? The reason SCUMMVM doesn't work well could easily be because your system is too slow.

Just one? No. Slowdown programs just eat up clock cycles in order to slow down stuff, which means the entire system will be slowed down.
