Post by cyborgjeff »

Hi,

i've just install ScummVM, to try to play with Secret of Monkey Island.

I've allready try to do it with the CD, but i don't have anysound, and here it's the same problem. The game start, but i don't have sounds (also with VDMSound).

I've tryed Day of the Tentacle and i've sounds (sfx and music). :( snif

I know there are i think 2 different PC version of this game (the Disk version and the CD re-edition)

If you have the CD version, you need to extract the music off the disc. I used iTunes to extract them to mp3's.

If you mean the Dial-A-Pirate wheel, ScummVM should bypass the copy protection screen for you. It's necessary, really, since the game was sometimes sold as part of a collection that didn't include the wheel. (In this case, even the original interpreter bypassed the protection.)

I see this is an old topic but I need some help here =)

I dont have any music in my version of monkey island 1 running on ScummVm. I do hear sounds of opening doors, the map sellers screaming parrot, the mansion's Piraya dogs etc. But i have no music.

I use Vista if thats for any help
Everything works perfectly on Le Chuck's Revenge

I have I Tunes, and managed to get 24 midi songs from the cd to there. But what then ? Isn't it more than 24 anyway ?

Thanks for all help :wink: ! Merry Christmas :shock:

Ah'm scared. MIDI songs? I surely hope you mean the CD-tracks. And my version only had 23 of those. Put the MP3s in the same folder as the game data and make sure they're named properly (I just set up my MP3 ripper to rename them automatically -- track1.mp3, track2.mp3, and so on works like a charm). Unless, of course, you have the non-CD version of MI1, in which case you have to make sure the Roland patch is installed before you'll get any music outside of AdLib mode.

And everything SHOULD work perfectly in LeChuck's Revenge - it uses MIDI and not CD-audio.

Well, since I've never used iTunes before, I really couldn't tell you. So do it like I used to before I got a decent MP3 ripper, rename them manually.

And no, you don't have to change anything, just putting the MP3s in the same folder as the game data should suffice.

Mine has 24. The first 21 are music, and the last three are background sounds.

No, the early games play music only occasionally. I think Monkey Island 2 was the first LucasArts adventure that played music almost non-stop.

You did name the music files track1.mp3, track2.mp3, etc. (assuming you made MP3 files out of them), and they are in the same order as on the CD? Some bug reports have turned out to be because people accidentally named the first music track track2.mp3.

Though I'm not sure that would explain the Monkey Island theme in the streets because, unless I'm mistaken, the distance between those track numbers is greater than one...

the data track contains the datafiles needed by ScummVM - just copy them over, no need to dump the whole data track to HD

I have the CD versions, but I cannot get any music program to recognize the CD as a music cd. How do I extract the mp3's?

It's a mixed mode data/audio CD, track 1 is a data track and contains all of the game's files and the other tracks contain the game's music. You can rip the tracks fine with Windows Media Player, iTunes, Neto, CDEx, EAC etc
