Yeah, but the Amiga credits are directly converted from the PC version :)

For my sanity's sake, I need to run the game again on my Miggy. But last time I checked on UAE, it was just like I remembered it: there was no iMuse feature at all. No dynamic Woodtick, no dynamic voodoo swamp. Could you provide a record of those parts as well?

You can possibly rip midi files from the Amiga version (I think someone did once), but then how do you get it to play using the instrument set used by the game...?
Ripping the music is easy. Just use SCRUMMrev for Windows =) It takes care of the encryption/scrambling on both the Windows and Amiga version, and it rips all the graphics and rooms as well =)

Although it is not easy to find anymore on the the net, so I have uploaded it here. Please spread and host the files it possible =)

Thanks for uploading the ogg Monkey Music, but I get a Forbidden, when I try to download them...

Aye, I remember that software.

So now you've ripped the music from the game, you'll notice it's in MIDI format. The Amiga version provided it's own instrument set (due to lack of MIDI support) and played the samples out of the next available sound channel, and so sounded a bit strange if you listened to it in stereo.

So you've got the music data, but you won't have the instruments it needs to make it sound like the Amiga version...

Is it not still available from MixNMojo? Or has that site gone now?

That would be BuZz's fault. He's been moving things around. Perhaps he can provide the new path...
Cheers!

They are there but you can't list the folder contents. Grab them from ftp ftp://ftp.exotica.org.uk/pub/exotica

Actually the instruments are in separate files on the Amiga disks, not scrambled or crunched. But we still need the replayer...

I don't know how ScummVM.sf.net works, but perhaps the replayer can be located by looking at their C code?

I haven't checked lately, but the last time I checked the links were dead, so I browsed many forums for an active link.

That's one damn fast server!!!

Thanks for the music! The versions that can be downloaded from the Monkey Island sites, have a MSN buddy leaving sound in the middle, that for some reason no one (?) have noticed.
