What exactly is the problem?

Press `select` to activate the on-screen keyboard, use the L/R trigger (I forgot which) to switch to symbol input, use the analog nub to select a number and press X.

As I said in my previous post, you have to use the analog nub to select a letter/number/symbol.

I didn't know how to get past the code at first, either.

I used the same file from my Mac SCUMMvm file, it loaded on PSP great.

When it asks for you to input the code, press select to pull up the alphabet menu, then left trigger to switch from alphabet to numbers. Use the analog stick to pick any 4 numbers, and press X to confirm the entries. The numbers don't need to be the same each time, but you do have to enter some numbers each time you start the game. Press select again to exit the character menu after you are done entering the code. That should do it.

It worked on mine once I figured out how to pull up the character menu, and switch between numbers and letters. In SCUMMvM, you need to use the analog stick to move the cursor to select from the menu, the arrows don't work. I am running PSP with OS version 1.5, and the current SCUMMvM emulator for PSP. The number menu and analog stick may work differently in newer PSP operating systems, that may be the problem you are experiencing.

I was able to get the first three Monkey island games to play on PSP (and Mac), and also some other games with the same engine.

I recommend you buy them used, they are apparently more complete than the versions available for download, and I am not linking to any of the demos or freeware I found anymore - it's frustrating.

I do hope you can load your game now, though.

You can get all 3 games for free (legally from LucasArts) as downloads now, just do a search.

Also, Escape from Monkey Island (MI #4), is available for free downlaod for mac.

I very much doubt that. If the two first games had been released as freeware, I'm sure the LucasArts fan sites would be all abuzz with excitement. UK Amazon is still selling The Curse of Monkey Island, and they list the PC version of Escape From Monkey Island as being re-released early next year.

I removed my posts.

I was trying to be helpful.

I don't know which are legal, I was somewhat clear about which were 'demos'.

I really just don't care, though.

Go buy the damn things.

There's the demo. It's only 19MB, while the full game came on two CDs, with full speech...

Also only the demo, the full game came on multiple CDs...

Secret of Monkey Island, possibly not authorized or freeware?

Not authorized/illegal.

Links to all 4 of the demos and freewares are available here too, and more info on emulating them:
http://www.scummbar.com/games/index.php ... nfo&todo=4

Demos only.

article about differences between demo and full version of Monkey Island 2, with info on hacking demo, and links to additional music:
http://www.scummbar.com/games/monkey2/demo/

It still isn't the full game in any respect, most of the resources are missing, etc.

Full Throttle 'demo' - don't know if it is the complete game, it's 90mb, though. It does play in SCUMM. Yay!
http://www.gamershell.com/download_4748.shtml

Not the complete game at all. The full version came on one chock-full CD.

and Day of Tentacle demo, it's probably limited, but still...
http://www.gamershell.com/download_4683.shtml

A demo, and not even the playable one.

If you search, the monkey island games are indeed all available in full playable modes (full freeware or demos with few limits) for download on a few sites

Yeah, there are a few sites having warez, it's still illegal.

I'm unsure of the official freeware status of each game via lucasarts,

The official status is: They aren't freeware.

I have heard that LucasArts were not opposed to SCUMMvM, though.

Currently, they mostly ignore us. That can change though, if people go around saying things like "I can play warezed games with ScummVM!!11111oneeleven", and we certainly wouldn't like that change (and I'm sure you wouldn't either).

[eriktorbjorn]

Some are on the Lucasarts site, some are available as legal freeware, some a bit more dubious... Some are labeled 'demos', but you will see that they are actually playable all the way through, but are slightly different from retail versions, I linked to an article about that.

The demos generally only contain a small part of the complete game, e.g. the Curse of Monkey Island demo is 18 MB while the complete game covers two CDs. You can find plenty of demos on the ScummVM web page. Some are playable, but none of them are the complete game.

If you search, the monkey island games are indeed all available in full playable modes (full freeware or demos with few limits) for download on a few sites, and you can emulate them in SCUMM for most platforms as long as you can access the whole file, uncompressed.

Yes, but just because someone made a game available for download somewhere doesn't mean it's necessarily legal. Even one of the sites you mentioned recognize this, and provides only a walkthrough for the game.

I'm unsure of the official freeware status of each game via Lucasarts, so don't quote me on that one...

If the games were freeware, you'd probably be able to find them on the LucasArts FTP site. I don't know about you, but I can't.

To the best of my knowledge, there are only two freeware games that ScummVM can play, and that's Beneath a Steel Sky and Flight of the Amazon Queen. (Lure of the Temptress will probably be supported eventually, but I don't know when.)

I changed my earlier post, too. I have heard that LucasArts were not opposed to playing their games on SCUMMvM, though.

Well, there was the time when they tried to have the project shut down, but at the moment they seem content to just ignore us and dream of Star Wars merchandising...
