Paraphrasing from the documentation:
Take CD2. Copy all m4b files, the Movies directory, and the Textures directory to a new directory on your PC.
Rename Textures/FullMonkeyMap.imt to Textures/FullMonkeyMap2.imt
Take CD1. Copy all m4b files, the Movies directory, and the Textures directory to the same directory. Make sure to merge the directories. Overwrite voiceAll.m4b
Rename Textures/FullMonkeyMap.imt to Textures/FullMonkeyMap1.imt
Download the MonkeyUpdate.exe patch and put it in the same directory.
Point ResidualVM at the directory and start playing.

hi
1. where did you find this documentation ? i saw this : https://wiki.residualvm.org/index.php?title=Datafiles
the one you provided is much better
2. even after doing what you said it's still says : "ScummVMcould not find any game in the specified directory!"
i am posting a picture so you see how my folder are arranged :

Eh, does the error really say "ScummVM"? You need to run ResidualVM.

What is the file size of artAll.m4b? Which edition of the game is this? It is possible your game edition might be unknown or damaged.

If you know how, please also provide the MD5sum of the first 5000 bytes of that file, that is also used for game detection.

We support the following file sizes, all in bytes:

Code: Select all

18515664
18512568
18513451
18514404
18514420
18515747

Given the name of your edition I'm afraid this is a Rule 0 violation and we cannot help you further.
Please acquire a legal copy and try again.

Can you show us what your data directory now looks like?
Also, what platform are you playing urdu news - ary news on and which version of residualvm are you using?

I guess this is the official 0.3.1 release - EFMI is only detected in 0.4.0.git version

I doubt me or the other devs added the signature for a pirated version of the game.
