[RESOLVED] Help in ScummVM

Hi. I'm trying to add scummvm to the RetroBat but it won't run. How do I get it to run? I've managed to have the game detected by EmulationStation, but running it returns me to EmuStation

hello,

1) go to https://docs.libretro.com/library/scummvm/
And download this files:


And extract the scummvm folder inside this scummvm.zip file into Retrobat "bios" folder.


2) Go to Retroarch options like this:



and




and



and



and




3) on scummvm core, setup all paths:



and



Select scummvm folder (inside bios folder), for Theme and Extra:




Apply, and quit the scummvm core, and reload it.

4) and you see the "new" gui.



Clic on "Add Games"

5)

And to finish, rename the *.txt files into *.scummvm file, for exemple:

The Curse of Monkey Island.txt  ===> The Curse of Monkey Island.scummvm

Awesome. Managed to get it to run. Thank you very much

@yoh6781 it work ?

yes. i just tried it. works great now

Hi @lorenzolamas

Thanks, your guide was a great help but after playing around I found out that for Retrobat lr-scummvm the GUI steps were actually unnecessary.

1) RetroBat ES will scan for .scummvm files and get the shortname from the file content (Batocera picks the filename instead). Filename will be displayed if not associated with metadata, so recommended to match the game name. Shortname list available in https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/ .

echo bbvs > ".\bbvs-win\Beavis and Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity.scummvm"

2) Ensure V:\RetroBat\system\templates\emulationstation\es_systems.*.cfg scans for .scummvm files.
   <path>~\..\roms\scummvm</path>
   <extension>.scummvm .SCUMMVM</extension>

3) Optional for metadata: Ensure your gamelist.xml contains the .scummvm filenames (not like RetroPie which requires folder names or else it crashes).

<game>
<path>./bbvs-win/Beavis and Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity.scummvm</path>
<name>Beavis and Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity</name>
       (...)
</game>

And it works! No need to load the core and add games through the lr-scummvm GUI. I have actually removed all the games from the GUI and even the V:\RetroBat\bios\scummvm.ini and it still worked fine.

Of notice : ScummVM announced October 9th a merger with ResidualVM, meaning that some libretro core versions down the line classics like Grim Fandango and Escape from Monkey Island will be playable from within RetroBat

Take care!

True just the GUI steps could be skipped

Almost forgot : another set of useful instructions available in https://docs.libretro.com/library/scummvm/#enable-enhanced-midi-emulation that were also useful with lr-scummvm.

It turns out that if you don't enable MT-32 emulation some games crash or complain about missing files namely:
- Day of the Tentacle (crash during intro)
- Eye of Beholder 1 & 2 (missing kyra.dat)
- Lure of the Temptress (missing lure.dat)
- Dráscula (missing drascula.dat)
- Lands Of Lore - The Throne of Chaos (missing kyra.dat)

I can't fill the path to add games. My keyboard is unable to type any letter...

Hello
Please open a new subject (in french), and describe a little bit more that we can try to understand (which configuration, material...)
I will then delete our post here.
