FAQ:

Q: I don't like the compression it's too slow/not compressed enough, can you create a version with a different compression?

A: No, if want to try a different compression feel free to do it yourself, just edit the Data#.ini files in the conversion's [Common\Settings] folder to try a different compression, for available options see the UCC Wiki.


Q: Will this conversion work with game version X?

A: Please See Compatiblity Information at the top of this post


Q: The conversions doesn't work, I get an error or the compression unexpectedly stop in the middle, why?

A: Theoretically there's no reason for that to happen, that said, make sure you have enough space in the drive in which you create the conversion, you need at least twice the size of the conversion, also, try and disable your anti-virus software.

This only has 4 games where as other conversion has 5 and cant get that one to go as get unspecified path error. Had these games for lot years and bit of a pain being on single cds and dvd would be a whole lot better.

The other conversion by Pakrat2k2 uses separate Monkey Island Special Edition games (Monkey Island 1 SE & Monkey Island 2 SE), this one requires the Monkey Island Special Edition Collection DVD, that DVD have both games.

So while it technically looks like 4 games it isn't, all 5 games are there.

As for the error, where, in this one or the other one?

Ok no problem got it to work now and seems be fine just I installed one game and the title was wrong on install changed and alls fine.

[Gilligan]

I tried this conversion but says can't find game executable and all gaems in folder as named in conversion..

This what in conversion when quits....

17:47:28 - Conversion Starting
17:47:51 - Game folder set to "E:\Monkey Island - The Complete Collection"
17:47:51 - Game executable not found

Sounds like one of the game folders within the selected folder have a wrong name, make sure the folder names are exactly as shown in the conversion post.

[Gilligan]

They all named as here jsut keep get the same error, will try all again and if not work will forget it, used pakrat one but it not give exe for curse monkey island and apart that alls fine.

Can you upload a screenshots of the folder structure and files in each of the game folder?,

Maybe you have a version of one of the games that is different from what I used.

The games must be like this:

Monkey Island - The Complete Collection\Escape From Monkey Island\Monkey4.exe

Monkey Island - The Complete Collection\Monkey Island Collection\Launcher.exe

Monkey Island - The Complete Collection\Tales of Monkey Island\autorun.exe

Monkey Island - The Complete Collection\The Curse of Monkey Island\ScummVM\scummvm.exe

Make sure it all exist and the folder paths are exactly as above.

Screenshots of the folders will help me verify it for you.

BTW, if Pakrat2k2's conversion works for you than you probably have separate Monkey Island SE games, meaning Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition & Monkey Island 2 Special Edition, each on it's own and not the Monkey Island SE Collection DVD which is needed for my conversion, the two conversions don't use the same game variations.

This will also explain your problem, and if this is the case than yes, I recommend you use pakrat2k2's conversion, as mine will be incompatible with the version of games you have.
