I think i followed the readme instructions right, but tutu doesn't work. is there something I need to do special to make tutu work?

do you have a full install of both BG1 and BG2 (including the expansions)?

yeah

you know it would really be helpful for us if you could give just a little bit more details. whats not working? any error messages? more specifics.

One mistake I made when first trying to play Tutu: I started BG1 (which is not possible) and then learnt the hard way I had to start BG2 instead (though i wanted to play BG1), but the the start screen offers you the chance to play BG1 (under BG2, as is the essence of Tutu). I admit it's a rather stupid mistake, but maybe there other Noobers out there.
