First of all I use VDMSound 2.0.4 with update 2 and VDMSound Launchpad v1.0.1.1
Monkey Island 2 works just fine with defult settings but with Monkey Island I have to enable cd-rom support to get it to work.
But in Monkey Island I don´t have any sound so what settings do I have to use?
I´m running Windows XP and I got Monkey Island from the Bounty Pack.
I take you have specified sound parameters in the command-line, haven't you? 😁
<--thread starter
well I just started useing this great app today so I have no clue of what you´re talking about 😊
So please tell me
Try typing monkey.exe /? to see a list of allowed parameters.
I think A is for Adlib sound, so your command-line would be monkey.exe a
Somewhere in the VDMSound configuration there is a field for specifying command-line parameters (type an "a" there - without the quotes).
For monkey island and any other Lucas Arts games i highly rekkomen you use ScummVM at www.scummvm.org . Its specially made to play games from lucasarts. It also supports some other adventure games as well and its fast and has great graphics filters. But of cours it is limited to mostly lucasarts games. But its worth checking out tough.
Hi!
There are actually 2 versions of Monkey Island 1. The first version came on 5-1/4" diskettes and a copy protection code wheel. The revised version came on CD (in the Bounty and Monkey Island Madness packs). They are not the same.
The CD version changed the command interface (bottom of each screen) to be the same as Monkey Island 2, in both look and control. It removed the code wheel question screens. Finally, the music and sound was completely redone. Unfortunately, they apparently removed all of the original digital sound effects. (For instance, doors closing and parrot squawks in the town at the game start, teeter-totter rock that sinks the ship, etc, etc.). It's easy to tell which sound version you have. Just go to the dock at game start and listen. If you hear seagulls and waves, you've got the new version (and likewise your digital audio is working).
The new version should usually run fine without VDMSound as invoked by WindowsXP. (If not just add the command line parameters others mentioned above). It may not seem like it (cuz the fx are missing), but if you listen carefully, you should hear both MIDI and fx in random places
I have tried everything to see if somewhere the original sound effects can be enabled, but it definitely seems they have been removed. I believe this because both MIDI and digital sound work in the revised version (if you listen carefully), it's just that all the really neat individual sound fx have been removed.
Hope this helps...
