Viperspider: Hi all,
I have been trying to get the Ultimate Talkie edition working but I think I have hit a wall.
I have followed all the instructions in the first link that OP posted but hit a dead end when SCUMM VM couldn't recognise MI1 special edition as a game. I then read in the second link that OP posted that you have to extract the CD version from the special edition exe so SCUMM VM will recognise it but the links (apart from the source code) seem to be dead.
Does anyone have a tip for me on how to get this working?
I just managed to install it! I wanted to be able to play with the old graphics but with voice acting and the new music! So far it works flawlessly.
Turns out you don't need any programs to extract the CD version. The file that is mentioned, Monkey1.pak, should already be in your installation folder. Just place the
MI1_Ultimate_Talkie_Edition_Builder folder in the same folder that you have installed the Special Edition (for example, in my computer it's
D:\GOG games\Monkey Island 1 SE). Make sure that the
Monkey1.pak file is present. After that, follow the instructions.
When you have everything installed and go to import the game in ScummVM, din't stop at the first folder. Open the MI1_Ultimate_Talkie_Edition_Builder, and then the new folder that the installer creates, so ScummVM will recognize the game.
It took me some time to figure out everything, so if you have any other trouble let me know and I'll try to help. :)
