Version differences

Special Edition refers to a set of many earlier builds of of this game which were released around a year before it was sold in retail stores. They contain many differences from this version and were only bundled on some OEM discs.

Essential improvements

Patches

Patches are available here. The ttsndfix.zip patch fixes sounds not playing on A3D-compatible sound cards. All of the other patches listed here are not meant to be used with the retail version, but rather Tonic Trouble Special Edition.

Playing on modern operating systems

Use dgVoodoo 2 and a modified executable
  1. Install the game using SETUP.exe included in the game disc.
  2. Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2.
  3. Copy the DLL files into <path-to-game> for DirectX 6 API support.
  4. Download this modified executable and replace the installed TonicTrouble.exe executable in order to be able to run the game on newer operating systems.
  5. Launch the original configuration tool and configure the game.
  6. Launch the game using the installed desktop shortcut with the game disc inserted.

Widescreen resolution

Widescreen patching tool
  1. Download this widescreen patching tool and copy it to <path-to-game>, then run it and patch the executable. Keep in mind that this tool only works with this modified executable, see here for help with running Tonic Trouble on modern operating systems.
  2. You must set the resolution to 800x600 in SetUpTT.exe in order for it to work. This will force the game to run at desktop resolution in native widescreen.
  3. If you don't want to play at desktop resolution, you can also use dgVoodoo 2 to force the game to run at a different resolution in combination with this patch.

Notes

This will decrease the horizontal FOV which cuts out part of the HUD and may affect playability of the game.
