The Incredible Machine 3: GOG2CD Patch is an unofficial patch for The Incredible Machine 3, which restores CD music and speech, included in the original release of the game to the GOG release. The original release of the game included CD-audio music, which is sadly missing from the digital re-release. Instead, MIDI music is used, which to many listeners may sound unappealing. Even though GOG.com provide the CD-audio soundtrack as an optional download, it is not used in the game itself. Rather than use those files, however, I ripped the original audio tracks from my copy of The Incredible Machine 3 to substitute the MIDI music in the digital re-release. The original audio tracks have been converted to FLACs at the highest quality and compression preset, using the most recent version of the PowerISO tool. The download includes all the necessary files to play them in the game. Installation: Extract files from the "The Incredible Machine 3 GOG2CD Patch" folder into the game's main folder, run _inmmcnf.exe and close it.

The Even More Incredible Machine: GOG2CD Patch is an unofficial patch for The Even More Incredible Machine, which restores CD music and speech, included in the original release of the game to the GOG release. Installation: Extract files from the "The Even More Incredible Machine CD Patch" folder into the game's main folder and run "Patch.bat" with administrator privileges (I know, it's neither ideal nor safe, but Windows has a strange fetish for forcing the user to run files with administrator privileges when they are in a folder embedded in Program Files and try to modify something in this folder). Bugs: - Dynamix intro animation has no sound (original CD release behavior). - CD music does not respond to in-game volume settings.

The Incredible Machine 3 CD-audio soundtrack patched for digital re-release ---------------------------------------------------------------- This CD-audio soundtrack is meant to enhance The Incredible Machine 3. The original release of the game included CD-audio music, which is sadly missing from the digital re-release. Instead, MIDI music is used, which to many listeners may sound unappealing. Even though GOG.com provide the CD-audio soundtrack as an optional download, it is not used in the game itself. Rather than use those files, however, I ripped the original audio tracks from my copy of The Incredible Machine 2. Since The Incredible Machine 3 uses exactly the same soundtrack, they can be used to substitute the MIDI music in the digital re-release. The original audio tracks have been converted to MP3s at the highest quality preset (320 kps CBR), using the most recent version of the LAME encoder. The download includes all the necessary files to play them in the game. Installation: -------------- - After installing the game, rename its directory to something else - Extract all the files in the archive into this directory, overwriting one file - Run _inmmcnf.exe from the renamed game directory once, and close its window Before you uninstall, remember to rename the game directory back to default. Enjoy!
