Instructions and Notes:
i\ Monkey Island 1 demos ARE different.

ii\ To remove copy protection from MI1 copy M.EXE and PLAY.BAT to you Monkey Island directory (folder). A bug in the timing means that you get "run-time error R6003 - integer divide by 0" if you just run the EXE. For some reason if monkey.exe is loaded from a batch file (PLAY.BAT) the error doesn't occur, and the error will not appear if you choose to use a sound card other than adlib (eg, roland).

iii\ To play MI1 CDROM version without the CD you must create a directory called C:\MONKEY (well this is where the save games are saved to), copy all files on you'r CD \ENGLISH (or whatever language ya want) to C:\MONKEY, copy all you'r saved games from C:\SAVE.CD, and copy monkey.exe from this site to C:\MONKEY (overwrite existing). You may now play without a CD in, or listen to any CD with audio tracks. You can load savegames saved with the original MONKEY.EXE and play as usual.

iv\ To add/remove copy protection for MI2 download the EXE file (wich were originally .COMs at a size of just 380 bytes, but fanspace don't like .COM!) to where Monkey2 is and run it. The CDROM version compleatly removes the splash and lite from you, thoes of you with the Madness CD will have to download MONKEY2.EXE and mi2patch.com to play the lite version.

These patches are NOT illegal, they are perfectly legal actually, all they do is modify your version a little bit (which actully just makes it into another version that was available).



World of the Caribbean never dies! And you can find my site here: http://plamdi.com/wotc

This is the only page of my original site still up, and I've chosen to keep it preserved here, as best I can for historical reasons. I've moved the site to many locations after this one - including digitalrice, marhost and now (finally) to my own domain. During this time the old remnants of the original site could still be found here, I hope that as you view this page it will bring back memories of what the internet was like at the time it was written.

I've commented out some parts of the original file - and obviously added this; but other than that it remains unmodified from when it was originally written and uploaded on the 12th of December 2000.

I added the above ammendment in 2005, it's now the 10th of May 2007 and I wanted to let everyone know that I've just made a perminant back-up, should this site ever disappear, and also that although I was 100% right in December 2000 on the legality of the "patches", last year the "Copyright Ammendment Act 2006" was passed into law which makes cracking DRM illegal for the very first time in Australia.

Although this is the case, I will continue to make these files available, because my main intention was never to help people crack the "DRM"; other people already did this - my intention was to illustrate some of the technical differences between the releases which essentially used the same "resource files". These "cracks" only use LucasArt's original circumventions of DRM (except of course for Neverlock). As of writing this LucasArts no longer sells Monkey Island, but they do fiercely defend their copyright and they ask "abandonware sites" not to host copies of their copyrighted games for illegal download; so I suppose I should reiterate their wishes, please respect them. I own several LucasArts games - including all the versions of Monkey Island (except the PC Gamer version) mentioned on this page.

To LucasArts: I once downloaded MI2 after not being able to play my copy for a number of years due to one of the 5 original floppies not working, and not having my own back-up. I hope you can understand that many people would have been in my position with any number of games; and many others may have (like me) downloaded the games they already owned. I also want to mention that I owned the Kixx release (I now own 3 copies of MI2); and after downloading it I had to figure out how to "patch" the MONKEY2.001 file to make it the Kixx release on my own (I think it had some other independent crack in the .EXE file when I downloaded it). This was important to me, as was finding a copy of the correct edition of MI1 on floppies (which took over 5 years, but finally I did find it and buy it). I uploaded the patch files to work both ways, so anyone in my situation could fix their illegal download to be their correct version of the game. Who knows if anyone ever did! I do not condone piracy, and I have never uploaded or distributed any of your full-version games on this website, or any other.

I know you can no longer download "play.bat" - and heck most of you probably feel you have to use SCUMMVM now to run these games. Still, here is the complete source-code for PLAY.BAT:
