Save game in Monkey Island 1 ...

[Einstein]

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

F5 :-)

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 !  :-(

How odd, download ScummVM and run it in that, that should solve your problems :-)

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

The first question I can answer, as long as you're playing from WinUAE. Simply 'save your state' by pressing f12 and going to somwhere ('misc', I think), and clicking save state. Then you can save the game at any point.

ScummVM is a new scripting engine that can run the LucasARTS games files.

Copy all the game data from the MI disks to the ScummVM directory and run the game using ScummVM, which has a standard load save interface :-)

You will need SDL installed to run ScummVM!

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 !

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

Hmmm...

Well, what are you running on?

If it's Amiga, then as long as you have a Hard drive ScummVM will work... if it's PC then ScummVM is the way to go!

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) ?

Boot up WinUAE with the PC drives mounted, copy all the files from the MI disks to a directory on your PC hard drive. Close WinUAE.

Then download ScummVM and install it on your PC (SDL will be installed automatically).

Run ScummVM, a requester will pop up asking you to locate the game files... point it to where ever you copied the game data too... then you can run MI in a window on your PC (No disk swapping and super fast loading etc..) :-)

[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)

Are you by any chance using a microsoft multimedia keyboard?

[Einstein]

Logitech actually.
