WORK IN PROGRESS, HELP NEEDED

If you want to contribute, send us a sample of text you'd write for the new manual, and we will consider adding you an account. You can work on the manual in the Wiki, but if you prefer, supplying us with HTML or TeX sources is fine, too (we will then translate them for the Wiki).
You can have a look at our TODO page for a list of tasks that need to be done.

This is the menu that you get by pressing F5 in the LucasArts games. It replaces the original menu present in some of the games. You can still access the original menu using Alt-F5 and you can save and load games using this, however it is not intended for this purpose, and may even crash ScummVM in some games.
This menu can be used to load and save games as well as change the game settings (e.g. music volume).
A more detailed description of this menu is available on the ScummVM Interface page.
Day of the Tentacle: Maniac Mansion Easter Egg
At one point in the game, you come across a computer that allows you to play the original Maniac Mansion as an easter egg. ScummVM supports this, with a few caveats:
- ScummVM will scan your configuration file for a game that's in a 'Maniac' sub-folder of your Day of the Tentacle folder. If you've copied the data files from the CD version, this should already be the case but you have to add the game to ScummVM as well.
- To return to Day of the Tentacle, press F5 and select "Return to Launcher".
- This means that you could in theory use any game as the easter egg. Indeed, there is a "secret" configuration setting, "easter_egg", to override the ID of the game to run. Be aware, though, that not all games support returning to the launcher, and setting it up to use Day of the Tentacle itself as the easter egg game is not recommended.
