Hello
I am at the part of Curse of Monkey Island when the crew of Guybrushes Ship begin to sing 'A Pirate I Was Meant To Be' And a the pop-up says "Please insert Disc 1" I found it odd since I'm supposed to be on the second disc. So I put in the 1st one and it plays for a few seconds then it says "Please insert disc 2" and I do and then it says to insert disc 1 again. It does this repeatedly. Any help?
Thanks-
Tofu

CD swapping isn't supported - or at least not well tested - in ScummVM, but if you copy all the necessary data files to your hard disc you can run the game from there without having to worry any more about it. The README file has some further information about this.

This issues comes up quite regularly, maybe it's worth adding it to the FAQ at some point?

I think that the readme is good enough. It is supposed to be used.

Read the readme, section "Multi-CD games notes"

Me too.
There is no RAR-file on the
original discs of COMI which you can get at
ebay.com ...

If this forum included an emoticon of someone laughing so hard they cried, I'd post it right now.

it is!
don't you think it's ironic that you pirated the game and you post about a problem with 'A Pirate I Was Meant To Be'?

rofl, i missed that
either way ill help, as i think its genuine... copy
* RESOURCE folder
* COMI.LA0
* COMI.LA1
* COMI.LA2
to your HDD in a folder(say COMI), then add that folder to the ScummVM Quicklist, via the 'Add Game' button... then it should run
