Monkey Island 1 Music not playing

Post by evilguy12 »

Hi, I'm trying to get The Secret of Monkey Island (the Bounty Pack Edition) working on my PSP. The sounds work but there is no music at all. As well as this I am trying to Monkey Island 2 working. It comes up with this anti-pirating thing when you have to in numbers, but how do you type numbers on PSP?

The CD version of The Secret of Monkey Island uses audio tracks on the CD for music; the kind that you can play in any music CD player. The "standard" version of ScummVM should be able to play them either directly from the CD (I guess that's not an option on the PSP), or from compress files (MP3, Ogg Vorbis or FLAC). The README file has more information about that, but I don't know for sure if compressed sound is supported by the PSP version of ScummVM.

Yes, compressed sound is supported, but not FLAC.

This info is already posted on the wiki page I just noticed.

Q: My Monkey Island 1 doesn't have any music, what gives?
A: If your version of Monkey Island came on a CD then it has the music as CD Audio tracks. You need to rip those to MP3/Ogg and copy them to the same directory as the game data files for music to work.

Say, if anyone could give me a real quick reply on this it'd be much appreciated - I'm going to Austria tomorrow and what better way to spend the time on the bus than by playing MI?
Anyhoo, I've got the same problem as the OP, and have ripped all the music from my CD (I own the White Label release, with both SoMI and MI2 on the same disc, so it's all the music). However, when converted to either MP3 or OGG they do not play, although placed in the same folder as the game files.

Has anyone encountered the same problem? I imagine it's something to do with the names of the files, since they're all unnamed at the moment. Can someone help me out?

The information you seek can be found in the README.
In short; the files have to be named track1.ogg, track2.ogg, etc.

You can use mp3 as well, but I recommend ogg vorbis for the PSP port.

Enjoy Austria (I hope you go to the parts without eternal fog and the storms they predict for the weekend) :D
