never went that deep into programming and software - so I cannot talk about solutions that are or aren't coming with the game... Well, I just asked if anyone would knew an in-game key press (just like the LucasArts games, when you press CTRL-T for text, etc.)

Hello, I am having the same issue: On my AWE64 Gold, I get no speech, but I swear, that I remember pressing a key that allowed me to enable/disable the speech, but now I forgot which key it was, and now I have tried all the keys on the keyboard with no luck! Please help!

Dear all, OK, I have used my GOG version of Monkey Island 2 and followed the instructions on this page: http://gratissaugen.de/ultimatetalkies/monkey2.html To create the 'Ultimate Talkie' for DOS ( not ScummV M) version, with no error message. The issue is this: When I run this game under DOS, on my …

Great, I will. Originally I thought I has no Sound Effects, but it turns out that they are very low. When I lower the Music, and up the Sound Effects/Speech in ScummVM, it makes it a tad better, but the background hiss is really evident and annoying.

Sure. I have a Soundblaster 16 (CT1740). I could chose its midi output in the global settings of scummvm. Under Midi I can chose SB16-MIDI-OUT [330] [WINDOWS MIDI]. In addition I've chosen the same one under MT-32 and checked the first option (deactivated GM Emulation) OK, now I can hear the MT-32 …

I already checked every program file with a hex-editor. But found nothing that tells where/when/how this folder is created. May I ask how …

Try the patched version of 1988 release above, that should only work on real hardware :D I will, after I finish playing the Enhanced version, and I am currently in the middle of! QUESTIONS: 1) What about the Tandy voice, that is the only thing I was interested in, when I originally posted this …

Start the game, in the selection screen you can switch to tandy mode by pressing SHIFT+T then save it by SHIFT+W Then start you game with: MANIAC P next time around. Or 1. Create a new folder, copy original files there. 2. Start maniac.exe 3. Press "SHIFT+W" in the kid selection screen, it will say …

OK, thanks! Is there an "un-mofied" (unplayed, an image created purely off of the floppy diskettes) on the web? The ones that I have, are the versions that have saved files or preferences in them. Thanks!

I understand that both versions do not have any *in-game* music (besides the intro and the ending), but I can't find any "setup" file in the game directory that enables Tandy 3-voice. How do I achieve this? Thanks!

Thanks, I have been using the older versions such as scummvm-1.8.1-win32 (and lower), in the past, and all of them have the FluidSynth option (however, they all, just like the 2.1.0 version) only rely on the actual AWE64 Gold built-in synth: meaning no MT-32, or MIDI emulation for me at least Unless …
