how to download savegames to Scumm?
Hi, sorry to bother you.
I'm trying to download a savegame for Monkey Island 1 from this site: http://www.nicouzouf.com/en/?id=thesecretofmonkeyisland I have the game loaded in ScummVM but I can't seem to get the savegame to show up on the load game list. I've copied the file into the Scumm folder but still doesn't work. Can you help? Thanks  |

F5 is usually the Save\Load button in Scumm. Have you tried that?

Maybe if you put the savegame into the game's save folder?

the saves on teh website seem to be saves for the old ega version. and it isn't a scummvm save, it's a pure monkey island save, so you'd also need to run it via dosbox (which probably wouldn't help you anyways, since you have the vga version)

here you can find savegames for the vga version that you have but it still needs to run as real game, not scummvm one
just get dosbox, it's really not that hard. for this game it would even work without any configuration, just download the dosbox and drag-and-drop monkey.exe to dosbox.exe icon

See that "thesecretofmonkeyisland_save" folder?
Put the savegame in there. You should be able to find it in the savegames screen of monkey island then.

no you don't put it in any "thesecretofmonkeyisland_save" folider, you place it in the directory with the game, where the EXE files is
then smash F5 inside the game
