Maniac Mansion is included in [[Day_of_the_Tentacle|Day of the Tentacle]].  The English version contains the V1 DOS version while non-English versions are V2 DOS.  If you have the Macintosh version of [[Day_of_the_Tentacle|Day of the Tentacle]] you will need to extract the *.LFL files from the ''Day of the Tentacle Data'' file using '[[User_Manual/Appendix:_Tools#extract_scumm_mac|extract_scumm_mac]]'.

Russian PRCA localization is distributed in 2 forms:
* Patcher by PRCA Clickteam-based patcher. You can place the file mm_ega_rus_1.0.exe mm_ega_rus_1.1.exe in the directory with English version or manually run it under windows.
* Patcher by ENPY. You can either run it under windows or unpack modified files using innoextract and copy them replacing original files. Password is M49EBVP8360kX82tj8bNSguokMlGNgaY221VEldKB0Z40tK8RMMDTS26n9S05I58
In either case after patching/extracting or just adding Clickteam-based exe files are usable on any platform

In order to get the game working, you will have to strip out the first 16 bytes from the ROM you are trying to work with. Any hex editor will work as long as you are able to copy/paste.  After you open the ROM with the hex editor, copy everything from the second row (17th byte) to the end. After you do this, paste it to a new hex file. Name the new file "Maniac Mansion (XX).prg" while XX stands for the version you are working with (E, F, G, SW, or U).  The final size should be exactly 262144 bytes.
