Save game in Monkey Island 1 ...

[Einstein]

How did one save a game in Monkey Island 1 (adf)? please help, anyone knows ?

[Einstein]

I have tried, nothing happens, I've checked the "input" section in "soft" part, and the F1-F9 "input sources" have the corresponding "target (some word here)" as F1-F9, yet nothing happens as I push those buttons !  :-(

What's ScummVM, and exactly what does it do ?

[Einstein]

Confused am I (perhaps always have been  :-) ), none of the fX buttons desire to work, and what did you mean "going somewhere" ? in the game or what ?
Appreciate your reply !

[Einstein]

(oh no, no further installings please), What's SDL bloodline ? (there's no end to my miseries, is it ?  :-) )

[Einstein]

Ok, I'm running it on a: P4 2,4 GHz with windows XP !
Whats the problem really, I mean if I create a disk image in the WinUAE (in the saveimages dir), then if the f5 would actually work, shouldnt the emu do whatever the code in the game commands it to do, which is to write to the disk (that I created) ? I guess I'll not experience that though since the damn fX wont even respond.

Anyway, so you say I ONLY need ScummVM ? what was that SDL (or something) ?

[Einstein]

Ok this is getting clearer, two blurred point remain though:

1. What do you mean "Boot up WinUAE with the PC drives mounted", what PC drives ?

2. Does ScummVM actuallly run on top of UAE or does it have it's own emu ? (unnecessary but interesting to know)

[Einstein]

Logitech actually.

[Einstein]

The question that arises then must be: where does WinUAE then fit an all this ? cant ScummVM take care of the adf-images itself ?

[Einstein]

Ok, finally clarified, with one exception, you said boot WinUAE with PC drives mounted (ticked) in hardfiles section ... hmmm why do I have the feeling that I'm confused again, hehe, not funny though !

[Einstein]

Ok, this is perhaps wy most imporatnt question in this topic: will it also run old pc dos (ms-dos) games (like Monkey Island 2) with possible scan-lines, blurred etc of the graphic output ? because running old games (3XX x 2xx) is not a pleasure for the eyes.

[Einstein]

Nevermind the last question, I've got my answer from that page, thanks.

[Einstein]

Alright, so I'll have to copy through cli/shell I figure ?

[Einstein]

I must unfortunately say that it didnt work, well I DID pull out the files and placed them in a folder under ScummVM but Scummvm cannot find them, I've tried to start it from CMD with "scummvm --platform=amiga --path=monkey" etc. but I didnt find them, I got the prompt "could not find monkey.000" so I rename some of the files according but got some weird message with a distorted first charcter in CMD, just to let you know I modified the input sources of Fx keys to the NUMPAD keys in WinUAE, so I'm able to load/save now.
