How to Make OBS & Escape from Monkey Island work! DXWnd and dgVoodoo for the win!

Описание: Anyone who's tried to stream Escape from Monkey Island (EMI) knows the troubles that come with it!

The problem: EMI runs in Full Screen by default, and holds your mouse hostage without even Alt-Tab working. Starting the game with the -w flag will allow windowed mode, but resolution isn't scaled so you end up with a tiny window.. EMI Launcher, a 3rd party launcher made for the game, does force windowed mode but it also kills cutscenes.

The Fix Pat 1: Install/Setup DXWnd and make a profile for EMI's Monkey4.exe that has Early Hook, Do not notify on task switch, Run in Window, and Force Windowing Enabled. Also Enable Keep Aspect Ratio, and Desktop Center, and set your desired Window Resolution. Download Page - https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwn...

The Fix Part 2: Install/Setup dgVoodoo2 and make a config file for EMI that has the General Tab Scaling mode set to Windowed: Centered, keep Aspect. Disable the Capture mouse option, and enable the Keep window aspec and Center app window options. In the Glide tab set your Resolution and Antialiasing to 8x, disable the 3Dfx Watermark option, enable the Force vSync and Enable Glide Gamma Ramp options. In the DirectX tab set your resolution and Antialiasing to 8x, and disable the dgVoodoo Watermark option. Download Page - http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVo...

This should allow you to capture, record, and stream Escape from Monkey Island in Windowed mode using OBS, while having the cutscenes be fully functional!

NOTE: the DXWnd "Do not notify on task switch" is what fixed the game resizing issue that I still had in the end of the video. I figured it out after I'd already made the video!

Also, I said I use DXWnd for Majesty, but I meant Stronghold. Woops. 😅
