OLD Graphics?

[FB_Destroyer_Rebecca]

Hey, Can I somehow enable the old graphics? I mean I want to play the vanilla version of Monkey Island 1. Does it support it?

[monkeymadness]

Yes, F10 to switch back and forth

Aside from the bind mentioned, you can use a third party tool to bring the audio into a ScummVM compatible version of the classic game. It'll bring over the new voiceovers in your choice of OGG or FLAC format, but keep the interface and artwork intact and run in ScummVM.

Moss, can you help instruct me on how to do that, I got it and have tried setting up ScummVM but to no avail, it seems like it requires a CD or DOS version and I just have the Steam version.

This guy linked the thread. Basically, you move the download from that into the files for Monkey Island Special Edition and run it. I haven't done it in a while, but I'll go ahead and re-run it so I can remember the instructions.

After you talkie it, you have to use ScummVM to play it on modern systems.

Just direct that to the folder of the ultimate talkie edition to play it.

If you need help, the readme file included can help.

[Tempus]

Yeah but I can't seem to find any compatible files with scummvm even after going through readme

I just sub here, so I wont forget. HPNY!

[Tempus]

Yeah would really appreciate if anyone could help me set this up

I'm working on a Steam Guide for the game, though it'll be restricted to my profile since I don't own this game on Steam (I have the GOG version). However, if somebody would like to make the guide and add me as a contributor, I would be happy to make it under their name.

I have some experience making these kinds of guides; I've made two compatibility guides (one for Half-Life 1 and one for Rollercoaster Tycoon 1) as well as an installation guide for Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. I've come a long way since that guide to setting up a Half-Life 1 multiplayer server, and have a general idea of how to make a concise and detailed but easy-to-follow guide.

So, right, I completely forgot about making that Steam guide.

If you're still interested, let me try one more time to explain it:

1. Start by downloading it.[www.gratissaugen.de] (warning: takes you to non-Steam site, this site hosts talkie version builders for both MI 1 and 2)
   NOTE: Make sure to download the DirectX SDK as well! It'll give you the xWMAEncode file you need to complete the installation.
   
2. Put the folder somewhere in C:\, I recommend C:\MonkeyIsland\MI1Talkie
   
3. Extract the Talkie Builder folder into the same folder, then drop xWMAEncode in there for good measure. DO NOT FORGET THAT EXTRA FILE!
   
4. Run your choice installer: ogg or flac. FLAC is higher quality, OGG takes less space.

I was trying to find that clip from Day of the Tentacle where Edison just says "i've never tried it yet!", but came up empty handed unfortunately. The Star Fox clip will just have to do.

I'm not really a fan of the remaster myself, so hopefully you can get this sorted out.

So I got it all setup and compatible, have a few problems running but was able to troubleshoot it. I got the message that I finished and that there was no errors after running the install_flac.bat and everything seems fine when I play MI1, I can switch between classic and remaster but I don't get the voice over audio in classic? I'm not sure where I went wrong this time.

After you build the Talkie, use ScummVM and let it see this folder as a path. It'll be the original game plus voices and several bugfixes, no new UI however.
