        @rbaker said in Scummvm not showing up:

        @sms5138 Have you installed the Emulator?

        My apologies. Yes I did install the emulator, and do see that it put a file into the scummvm directory.

          @sms5138 are the original cd files in their respective separate folders? in the correct place?

            @sms5138 On my system, the folder is

            /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm
            

            and in that folder, I have placed a folder for each CD title to reside in - unzipped.

            Also in this folder is this file:

            +Start ScummVM.sh

            That's all there is.

              @rbaker Yes all this information is present in the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm directory.

                It sounds like I'm having the same issue that @bassman6805 had, but I'm not sure where to locate the option he stated he had found.

                  @sms5138 Have looked under Other Settings in the Emulation Station menu?

                  Screenshots are available at the wiki.

                    I think I just hit start and under the main menu options it was in there under maybe the scrape settings?

                      Thank you everyone for the help on this issue.

                      I figured it out. It looks like everything was installed properly, the settings were correct in the start menu, but I did notice that the system wasn't in the /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

                      (for some reason I thought I'd seen it there previously, but it could have been on an older image of retropie i previously used.)

                      So I went in, and added the following:

                      <system>
                      <fullname>ScummVM</fullname>
                      <name>scummvm</name>
                      <path>~/RetroPie/roms/scummvm</path>
                      <extension>.sh .SH</extension>
                      <command>%ROM%</command>
                      <platform>scummvm</platform>
                      <theme>scummvm</theme>
                      </system>

                      Restarted EmulationStation, and the issue was resolved. Thanks to everyone for your help on this issue.

                      I'm pumped to start revisiting the games from my childhood.

                          @sms5138 this should be automagically configured when you install scummvm from the setup script. If it wasn't there you either have a custom es_systems.cfg or did something incorrectly

                            When I go to file manager, there is an es_systems.cfg file. I don’t know anything about it. What should I do with it?

                              Above is a link to a pic of my folder. In the scummvm folder is a folder called Lure. And this is what’s in the Lure folder. What’s wrong with these files? Anything wrong with them?

                                    Yes I have said in earlier replies. I have installed it. It took a half hour to do so. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled

                                    https://ibb.co/ee6sQb

                                    And I’ve rebooted many times. And in file manager I see the folders for the games.

                                      @dogeymon but have you launched Scummvm and added games?

                                        I can’t launch it when it’s not showing up on the main menu. No scummvm icon to launch it is the problem

                                        I can launch it from file manager. I have to go inside the scummvm folder and select the .sh file to start scummvm but I don’t want to have to do that.

                                        I want a scummvm icon to show up on the main menu

                                          @dogeymon I suspect there is something wrong with where the .sh file is. When I installed it, I don't recall it taking half an hour either. I deleted the .sh once and it vanished from Emulationstation for me too. I just reinstalled it and it came back.

                                            @rbaker If I'm reading this thread correctly it looks like he has a custom es_systems.cfg file in /home/pi/.emulationstation/. He needs to add the system details or delete the custom file and fall back to the default.
