Problems running Grim Fandango

Post by WeirdEssential »

Hello.

Recently, I have bought Grim Fandango Remastered. I have tried to run the game on ScummVM, but it shows a "missing game code" on startup.

How do I solve this?

According to our compatibility page, the Remastered version of Grim Fandango is not supported.
https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/DEV/grim/

I think you can get partial support (ie. something running but not sure if playable) with development daily builds, but as far as I know this is work in progress and there's no promise of when or if it ever gets completed.

Even the LAB files included in the game?
If so, is there any way that I can make it work using this version?

You could give it a shot by using one of our daily development (2.6.0git) builds. Like I said you can get the game running but expect many issues. You can't get the original game from the remastered version as far as I know (unlike the Special Editions for Monkey Island where that is possible).
