In case anyone is curious, the tricks to making the LucasArts game ‘The Curse Of Monkey Island’ run on a modern (SMP) system without constant crashes and sound issues are as follows:<\/p>\n
1) In the control panel, under sounds and audio devices \/\u00a0 audio tab \/ sound playback \/ advanced \/ performance, set hardware acceleration to ‘basic only’<\/p>\n
2) Monkey island has a launcher – it’s the autorun application for the cd. Once the launcher is running (either via autorun or via running monkey.exe off the cd), open the task manager (control-alt-delete), find the application in the list, right click and choose ‘go to process’. Then, right click on the process, choose ‘set affinity’, and uncheck all but CPU 0.<\/p>\n
3) Now, go back to the launcher and click ‘launch monkey island’. Because the process is invoked by a process with a affinity mask, the game process will also have one and will therefore work correctly.<\/p>\n
This trick may work on many games which otherwise have audio problems on SMP\/dual core\/quad core\/multiprocessor systems. I apologize if everyone in the world but me already knew this. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
