blc43519 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I was an avid monkey island gamer, playing all monkey island games 1-4 and I wanted to start playing the monkey island games on my windows xp system. It didn't work with curse of monkey island so I came to this forum to figure out how to play them. I know there a few programs out there, but I'm not sure which one to use. Is there any particular program you would use and why you use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Go there, download scummVM, it's probably the best program for running these games in XP. Also, go here for the frontend to that as well as the CMI launcher. Any questions, come back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blc43519 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 so I hafta download a frontend to scummwm alongwith scummvm? I downloaded scummvm and the cmi launcher so far, but i am confused in the fact u hafta download scummvm alongwith the frontend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 You don't need to download the Q+E frontend, it just makes it a bit easier to set up ScummVM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blc43519 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 why does it make it easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blc43519 Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 well first of all the cmi launcher is not working, and says I have to install CMI, which I know I have to, but its not working when I open the CMI launcher and try to install the game.

Joshi Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Are you saying CMI won't install (The launcher only helps you play the game, not install it) As for the ScummVM frontend, ScummVM on it's own works fine, Q+E (the frontend) is simply a nice GUI with a few extra features on it which makes things easier, but you don't have to install it to play the games.

blc43519 Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 scummvm works well, but the cutscene sounds are all distorted, but cmi launcher does jack **** for me and i get a bunch of error messages when I try to open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blc43519 Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 under the What is CMI Launcher?: in the cmi launcher readme The program can be run from anywhere since it reads the registry values in order to find the location of CMI. CMI must be installed for the launcher to work correctly. And whenever I try to launch CMI from the launcher it doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blc43519 Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 I would just use scummvm but it doesn't fix the cutscene flop and sound, and on top of that scumm Q+E is not working properly either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Sounds to me that the problem isn't with Q+E. ¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
