Wink How to install and play curse monkey island ?


[ Game Curse of monkey island III ]

I have the cd into the cd player

then ,run scummvm to install it

then get a window with black screen in it.

Should I have windows to install it, then copy the folder installed in windows to the linux harrrdisk to run svcummm ?

Thank you !!

Never heard of played the game before, but have you tried checking your log messages?

No, this won't work. Applications that are installed under Windows are for that platform and their executables do not work in Linux. Same goes for the other way around.

Thank you !!
I got it running !! What a great game !!

1/ The first time I used scummvm to play it didnt work. I dont really understand why.

2/ then I tried with wine, with xwine
the installation setup worked but I couldnt get it running...

3/ I then tried scummvm once again and it worked !!

========

So, the best way for this game looks scummvm
with my old pc, it works flawlessly !

Cheers
