Description

Hi!

Firstly, THX for that great project! :) Secondly, I just tried scummvm with MI1 and 2 (CD versions), that I had copied onto my HD and which used to work perfectly. The problem is, when I launch them with scummvm, I'm: - asked for the disk in MI1; - asked for the protection code in MI2.

Trouble is, my releases of MI are legal (I had them in a french magazine, as a gift) and they never required anything... :'(

Thx for helping ;) Benjy.

If you start monkey2 with the flag -b10001, the copy protection will be bypassed. i.e. scummvm -b10001 monkey2

ADDON: Thx for your help strigeus :) ADDON2: I found the "bug" for MI1 => I just renamed MONKEY1.000 and MONKEY1.001 to MONKEY.000 and MONKEY.001 ;)

BTW... strange thing: if you start Indy4 normally, you don't get the copy protection, and if you start it with -b<anynumber> you get the copy protection... :)

in indy4, i use another default value for the boot param. (the value happens to be the value that bypasses the copy protection) if you change that value, the protection will reappear.
