\subsection{Multi-CD Games}
|
|
In general, ScummVM does not deal very well with multi-CD games. This
|
|
is because ScummVM assumes everything about a game can be found in one
|
|
directory. Even if ScummVM does make some provisions for asking the
|
|
user to change CD, the original games usually install a small number
|
|
of files to hard disk. Unless these files can be found on all the CDs,
|
|
ScummVM will be in trouble.
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, ScummVM has no problems running the games entirely from
|
|
hard disk, if you create a directory with the correct combination of
|
|
files. Usually, when a file appears on more than one CD you can pick
|
|
either of them.
|
|
|
|
These instructions are written for the PC versions (which in some case
|
|
is the only version) of the games. Windows and DOS use
|
|
case-insensitive file systems, so if one CD has a file called
|
|
MONKEY.DAT and another has a file called monkey.dat, they are the same
|
|
files. These instructions give file names in all lower-case names,
|
|
even if that's not always how they appear on the CDs. In fact, on
|
|
case-sensitive file systems you will have to make sure that all
|
|
filenames use either all upper- or all lower-case letters for ScummVM
|
|
to be able to find the files.
|
|
|
|
The instructions for the Broken Sword games are for the Sold-Out
|
|
Software versions, which are the ones you are probably most likely to
|
|
find in stores now.

\subsubsection{The Curse of Monkey Island}
|
|
For this game, you'll need the comi.la0, comi.la1 and comi.la2 files.
|
|
The comi.la0 file can be found on either CD, but since they are
|
|
identical it doesn't matter which one of them you use.
|
|
|
|
In addition, you'll need a resource subdirectory with all of the files
|
|
from the resource subdirectories on both CDs. Some of the files appear
|
|
on both CDs, but again they're identical.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Broken Sword 1}
|
|
For this game, you'll need all of the files from the clusters
|
|
directories on both CDs. You will also need the speech.clu files from
|
|
the speech directories, but since they are not identical you'll need
|
|
to rename them speech1.clu and speech2.clu for CD 1 and 2
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
In addition, you will need a music subdirectory with all of the files
|
|
from the music subdirectories on both CDs. Some of these files appear
|
|
on both CDs, but in these cases they are either identical or, in one
|
|
case, so nearly identical that it makes little difference.
|
|
|
|
ScummVM does not support the original cutscene files, so there is no
|
|
need to copy them.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Broken Sword 2}
|
|
|
|
For this game, you'll need all of the files from the clusters
|
|
directories on both CDs. (Actually, a few of them may not be strictly
|
|
necessary, but the ones that I'm uncertain about are all fairly
|
|
small.) You will need to rename the speech.clu and music.clu files
|
|
speech1.clu, speech2.clu, music1.clu and music2.clu so that ScummVM
|
|
can tell which ones are from CD 1 and which ones are from CD 2. Any
|
|
other files that appear in both cluster directories are identical. Use
|
|
whichever you like.
|
|
|
|
In addition, you will need the cd.bin, cd.inf and startup.inf files
|
|
from the sword2 directory on CD 1.
|
|
|
|
ScummVM does not support the original cutscene files, so there is no
|
|
need to copy them.
