Anyone mess with ScummVM PC games? Best way to scan / play games?
I was manually scanning a few, but it mixed the 3 files from one game, and 4 from another, but didn't matter what of the 7 I chose, once I figured it out, the 2 PC games would boot, DOTT and Return to Zork, scanned Beavis and Butthead but again mixed it's 15 files in with the other 2 games files in my ScummVm playlist, but this one game wouldn't boot, scanned the same way settings ScummVM core? I thought maybe because it's a 'Windows PC' game, and other two were DOS VC?
I then decided to try and set the console to 'custom', and named it the game I was scanning in manual scan option, 'Beneath a Steel Sky' that worked, but I didn't want a separate playlist for every ScummVM game, 20+ on top of my already long list of consoles when I entered my Autobleem ROMs menu list or side scrolling for a minute straight in Retroarch
I found this post HERE which seemed extremely excessive in the amount of steps, but I'm assuming this will give you the orange ScummVM UI? I'm ok with the Green and Black like similar to the Reicast standalone emulator, or ReDream I forget ..
This post did help, though I did it in 3 steps, all games in one list by its title name only, easy, first , I'm on Autobleem so slightly different and easier off the bat for almost everything, initially I added my unzipped ScummVm games to my Autobleem USB build in roms > scummvm folder,
So by selecting Load Core, Start core, the ScummVm black/ green UI opens, scroll with stock controller D-pad with crosshairs over to 'show hidden files' , double click, hit 'go up' until you reach parent directory of 'media' scroll down and double tap on scummvm, that's it, all games are in one list by name, 'Beavis and Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity' booted right up!
Is there a way to display box art in ScummVm 2.1.1 black/ green UI? Honestly my NES Classic will boot up Beavis and Butt-head right from main games menu, with the orange ScummVM logo pops up, UI, and displays each game by Boxart only in a custom ScummVm folder icon ? I kinda want this in Autobleem?? Is there a better method for importing and displaying ScummVM?
S/o Pon for the gta3 ports, you are a skilled Dev bro, own it!, and somehow I got all 3 , LCS running and playable with your notes in description! I thought The link made it more confusing imo, Yo Open Jedi Knight is pretty wild too! Somehow the 4 map files only worked!
