lucymc Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Hi again, I just wondered if anyone knew whether you can install and run the MI1 and 2 demos using windows XP compatibility mode? Or are they DOS games? I do know about ScummVR but I am a bit scared of messing with DOS and need to be reassured!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 They're DOS games, but I believe they run well under ScummVM. If you're not into messing around with all kind of weird settings your best bet would be to use ScummVM with LEC Q&E as frontend. (the current bundled ScummVM frontend is kinda poo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Heh thats a thought, I never thought to include the demos in VdmSound mode, thats another thing for the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucymc Posted December 18, 2002 Author Share Posted December 18, 2002 *blushes* Thats way over my head!!! lol! LEC Q&E ??? I better go study! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yufster Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 No...MI1 works for XP, oddly, though the sound is funny. MI2 refuses to load at all. Don't worry, ScummVR is perfectly safe and easy to use. I couldn't load Day of the Tentacle for YEARS now because the sound and voices wouldn't work, but they work perfectly for ScummVR. It's dead easy to use and everything. I can run Simon the Sorcerer, MI1 and MI2, Day of the Tentacle, Sam n Max...EVERYTHING. Oh. The DEMOS? Lets seee... yeah them too I think. MI1 anyway.

Yufster Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 I could never get LEC to work for me. Anyhow, ScummVR runs everything I need. Hey simon the sorcerer is SO ANNOYING. Guh huh huh huh. Well it's actually great. But soo annoying! Oh christ. Oh christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Bah, and its ScummVM not ScummVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucymc Posted December 19, 2002 Author Share Posted December 19, 2002 LOL! sorry...SCUMMVM! Hey, just to let you guys know, the dmos DO work with XP on its own, extract all files to a new folder and then run in compatibility mode for windows 95!!!! I get no sound tho, but the demos probably dont have sound anyway huh?? But, hey, they work...cool! Should keep me going till I find the real thing!!!

Yufster Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 I didn't get sound from the demos either. Do you have that demo with indy and loom bundled w/ it?+-+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
