Summary: Does not start

Initial Comment:
I'm using

$ scummvm -v
Switched to configuration /home/tillea/.scummvmrc
ScummVM 0.6.1b (Aug  6 2004 12:49:49)
Features compiled in: Vorbis MP3 ALSA zLib MPEG2

on a Debian GNU/Linux system.

I have bought a box containing German versions of Ind 3/4/5
and Monkey Island 1/2/3.  While Indy 3+4 and Monkey 1+2
work perfectly I'm completely unable to play Monkey 3
(Comi).

At first I want to stress that the CD does not contain
a file
      comi.la1
as it is mentioned at
    http://www.scummvm.org/documentation.php?view=datafiles

Furthermore it has a Windows installer which claims to need
DirectX.  Because this is kind of unusual for me for
ScummVM
games I wonder whether the authors of this CD did some
change
which causes the problem.

What did I tried:

  1. Mount the playable CD of Comi.  Start scummvm.
      Add this directory.  Comi was detected correctly
(except
      of the language which I adjusted to German manually).

      ScummVm window says:
        Cannot find file: `comi.la1`
        Insert disc i into drive /m/cdrom
        Prss OK to retry, Quit to exit

      On console I've got the following message:
        Switched to configuration /home/andreas/.scummvmrc
        Looking for comi
        Trying to start game 'The Curse of Monkey Island'
        Cannot find file: 'comi.la1'

      and the ScummVM went into debug mode immediately

  2. I copied the files comi.la[02] and
resource/font[0-4].nut
     to my harddisk.  When I started scummvm in this
directory
     it was missing the file comi.001 and did not start.
     Once I made good experiences with "Sam & Max" where I
     only had these *.la[0-2] named files to place a
symlink
         comi.000 -> comi.la0
         comi.001 -> comi.la2
     This ended in a different message on console

         ScummVM 0.6.1b (Aug  6 2004 12:49:49)
         Console is ready
         Debugger started, type `exit` to return to the
game.
         Type `help` to see a lttle list of commands
and variables.
         ERROR: (87:1:0xFBF): room 87 not in room 87 at
0+8 in file comi.001

     and then ScummVM went into debug mode again. Any
     command in the debug window caused an exit of the
scummvm.

How can I circumvent this problems?
Which further information do you need?

Kind regards and thanks for programming ScummVM

        Andreas.
