ScummVM has this weird behavior where if you bring up the reshade overlay, the overlay and mouse cursor will update at whatever the current framerate of your game is. One thing to note is that bringing up the reshade overlay can make ScummVM freeze up. I use the daily ScummVM build by the way, I forgot to mention that. When you start up ScummVM, does it show a Reshade overlay at the upper edge of the screen? If Reshade has dropped a opengl32.dll into your ScummVM folder it should detect it.

I would really appreciate any advice on how to get this working. Pressing 'Home' while playing the game also doesn't bring up anything. I have followed your instructions to the letter re: extracting your config into scummvm folder (not in program files) and setting scummvm and reshade to both use OpenGL, pointing Reshade to scummvm.exe and also disabled 'filter graphics' in scummvm, but it just doesn't seem to be doing anything. I'm having a bit of trouble implementing your config and was wondering if you could help me out please. Thank you for your efforts to improve the graphics of COMI. I'm also using Reshade with SweetFX with this config, which adds a slight cartoon shader, SMAA and Vibrance. Any tips for me?Īre you using Windows? If so, you could use this special ScummVM build that includes xBRZ scaling. Is there a way to apply some sort of anti-aliasing? I've been playing around with the settings but they seem to have no effect, aside from changing the aspect ratio. Now I'm thinking about tweaking the graphics a little bit - to make them seem less 'rugged', if you know what I mean. I've successfully installed it and the thing runs without problems. I've been struck with a nostalgia fever and dug out my Monkey Island 3 cds. Perhaps I should just stick to “Monkey Island” and explain them what both words mean.Propi wrote:Hello and welcome, fellow Members! But it is also an iconic title which is already used frequently by even my youngest kid to refer to the game, so they might be disappointed of never getting to a “Monkey Island” in the whole game, but only “Apeneiland” (German “Affeninsel”, Italian “Isola delle Scimmie”). Ok, as literally an island filled with monkeys, it’s easy enough to translate that.

In Dutch, the same word “melee” exists, but is never used. Do native-English speakers associate that with “melee” (disorderly hand-to-hand fighting)? Note that it is written in its original French spelling. Or find another way to indicate that it is a bar for scum and riff raff. Of course, the artwork says “SCUMM” bar, but SCUMM has no meaning as an acronym to kids today, so I might as well translate it. Seepgood has a kind of “drink-that-goes-down-easily” sound to it. It also sounds like Thimbleweed, but let’s not get side-tracked here. Thriftweed sounds like Drift-weed to me (variant to driftwood) But what is Threep supposed to mean? Is it a variant to “threap” = to scold, argue, bicker? That could make sense, as Guybrush is originally from England. Translating Threepwood and variants on the other hand might be doable. And the name “Guybrush” is so iconic that it should stick when one day they play the English version/sequels. LeChuck will stay LeChuck but what about Guybrush Threepwood? The whole “Thriftweed” and “Mancomb Seepgood” jokes goes to waste if I don’t translate it on the other hand, finding a nice equivalent for Guybrush that works is not easy.

I did translate (Herman) Toothrot to “Tandrot”, as it is pretty close phonetically, sounds like it could be an actual name and gives it that extra edge. So I was thinking to go with “badmeester”, which is a lifeguard (at a swimming pool) (“Rettungsschwimmer”), which is also a funnier comeback to Guybrush’s “I want to be a pirate!”. Moreover I don’t expect my young kids to even know what an accountant is. In German, this was translated as an accountant (“Buchhalter”), but I don’t find that as denigrating as a “flooring inspector”.

“you look more like a flooring inspector to me”.

So, I have a few dilemmas I’d like to get thoughts on…
