File formats
The Secret of Monkey Island consists of a couple of files in four categories:
- Index file (000.LFL) allows quick access to data stored in data files
- Font files (90X.LFL) are the character sets and fonts used in the game
- Data files (DISK0X.LEC) contains the actual data (images, sounds, game logic, etc.)
- Amiga sound files (MUSIC.DAT and SAMPLE.DAT)
- Other files (README.VGA, INSTALL.BAT, _INSTALL.BAT, MONKEY.EXE) are irrelevant for this project
Those files were shipped on either 4 or 8 (3½ or 5¼ inch floppy disks).
Working / tested variants are:
- DOS EGA (4 and 8 disks)
- DOS VGA (4 disks)
- Amiga
- Atari ST
They are all based on SCUMM version 4.
Currently unsupported are variants based on SCUMM version 5. Those are:
- DOS CD-ROM
- FM Towns
- Macintosh
- SEGA
- Windows Special Edition (embedded classic DOS CD-ROM version)
