[edit]

Issues

Game must be run via grimfandgo.exe rather than Grim.exe in order to bypass a DirectX version check - Point2Play users will need to manually create an icon pointing to grimfandgo.exe, as the one made by the installer runs Grim.exe.
Crashes in certain locations

[edit]

Notes

There is a ScummVM Subproject named Residual which is designed to run Grim Fandango.

For more fluent gameplay and less loading times:

Download a NO-CD patch, obtainable at megagames/gamecopyworld
Make a backup of the original EXE in case things go wrong. Then in each CD go to
the grimdata directory and copy for Year [X]:
movie0[X].lab
year[X]mus.lab
vox00[X].lab
data00[X].lab

The NO-CD patch can be left out but then you'll have to have one of the CD's in your
drive for the startup check. But the loading times will have decreased anyway.
