This post should be moved to DOSBox Games/Apps.

The game as it comes on the "Monkey Island Madness" CD works just fine for me. You do not run the install program, which is written for Windows. Mount the drive, not a directory, then run it from the CD drive and it will work just fine.

yes.. I'm sorry I posted this in the wrong place.. as it stands.. I don't have the cd anymore...

I reposted in the appropriate channel

I installed DOSBox, mounted the game, and after jumping through a couple of hoops I got it to play... there is no sound.

My issues thus far:

I'm Running Windows XP

The Directory is set up as follows:

C:\MONKEY\MONKEY.EXE is the setup program for Monkey Island 1 & 2

The files to initiate gameplay are located in subdirectories:

C:\MONKEY\MONKEY1\MONKEY1.EXE
C:\MONKEY\MONKEY2\MONKEY2.EXE

The first time I mounted the game, I ran the setup file. When I tried to save my configuration (set to soundblaster) within the emulated program, said program crashed at which point DOSBox displayed the error message:

ERROR: error opening .ini file

So I loaded ...\MONKEY1.EXE which produced the error message:

No CD-Rom drive or MSCDEX not installed

I decided to try and pretend that my C:\MONKEY\ directory was really a cd rom drive so I mounted it with -t cdrom

I still received the error:

ERROR: error opening .ini file

When I tried to run the setup program, however when I ran ...\monkey.exe the game worked... but with no sound, which is why I was using DOSBox in the first place.. any suggestions? Did I miss something?

EDIT: Also, I have searched high and low, I found one thread in this forum concerning this game, but it didn't help and the person didn't state their problem very clearly, and it was ultimately useless. I have done various searches on google to no avail...

*Note, I am able to save the configuration when I run the setup program in my Windows XP environment

If you want to play the Monkey Island games, then I suggest you use ScummVM instead of DOSBox.

Works just fine in dosbox, too.
Just be sure to install it within dosbox if possible, see the guides forum for example.

In your other thread you said that you do not have the CD anymore. The Monkey Madness CD version had CD audio tracks for the music and no MIDI. You will have no music without the CD.

As far as I know both Monkey Island games should work fine with DOSBox with default settings.

However, maybe in this case you should give ScummVM a try:

Merged- feel free to remove any posts not relevant now that the threads has been moved & merged.

.. *sheepish grin*.. yes.. there were no sound files thank you for your help!

I borrowed a cd a friend of mine had and it works..
