Essential improvements
Use ScummVM
Use ScummVM 2.6 or newer, currently in daily builds. If you're using a digital copy of the game then just point ScummVM at it and go. If you're using a CD version of the game, then combine all the files from all the CDs into a single folder on your computer and point ScummVM at that.
Minimise CD-ROM swapping
The original game comes on four CD-ROMs. Disk swapping can be avoided if multiple CD-ROM drives are available by putting the game's CD-ROMs in different drives, assuming that each drive will get a separate drive letter.
Use DOSBox |
