I finally figured it out!
Turns out my mac text editor saved as rtf even though it looked and behaved as a svm file. Finally took the autogenerated file from the default scummvm core and changed name on them, and threw them in their game folder, and it fuuuu**in works! :D

@Dipkid glad to hear! hope you enjoy scummvm games with this core!

@DarishZone ah! so what is crashing is the scraper you are using (skraper), not emulationstation? That would make sense.
Yes the assert seems to indicate that the scraper doesn't like directories as roms. Unfortunately this is something that must be addressed by the scraper, not the scriptmodule.
However, what you can do is temporarily create dummy .svm files for the scraper to find, without the game directories there, then scrape these files. Of course, the files should be named properly as you would name the game directories. Afterwards, delete these dummy files and put the game directories in place with the same names as the dummies. Should work hopefully :)

Thx, i resolved the issue. As you said Skraper was the only cause, it messes xml creation and media folder tree. Paths need to be modified, i hope that could helps ppl who use it!

I just spent a few hours playing The Dig with wife :)
Tested monkey island too.
So far this core and scriptmodule work great.
Congrats @hhromic !

hhromic

@Sano thanks! enjoy all these nice scummvm games!
I really liked The Dig back then! Day of The Tentacle is also very fun.
Ah these times when LucasArts was on fire making good games.

@hhromic
My favourites are Maniac mansion (and DotT), monkey island and Discworld (I'm a hardcore Pratchett fan, RIP).
But Sam & Max, Full Throttle, space quest and Leisure Suit Larry are not so bad either ;)
So many new good games to play on my Pi !

@Sano make sure to try the CRT-based shaders! Now that scummvm can run under RetroArch. I can totally recommend the zfast-crt shader for that old PC monitor feel.

Discworld (I'm a hardcore Pratchett fan, RIP).

Same here. I always loved adventures and when i saw the test for Discworld 1 in a videogame magazin, it said that it would be wise to know the books. So I started reading them, and I love all of them. It's so sad that Terry died. But I actually just bought 3 audiobooks from him a few hours ago and I also spend some money on an Logitech MX Ergo and now I can enjoy ScummVM on my Tablet with proper mouse control. yay

hhromic

@EctoOne @Sano I have heard so many times about Discworld, but never played it myself. Looks like I should give it a try :)

EctoOne

@hhromic You should, there are some weird puzzles but it's okay. And I still need to finish Discworld Noir someday.

PS: I lied, I only bought 2 Discworld audiobooks, the third one was from Douglas Adams or I should say Eoin Colfer who released the last Hitchhiker book. :D

hhromic

@EctoOne wait, wut? Eoin Colfer, from Artemis Fowl, released the new Hitchhiker book? I totally missed that part of the news :O

EctoOne

@hhromic I actually don't know who that is, but yeah I googled Douglas Adams a few weeks ago and saw on wikipedia that Douglas Adams widow allowed to finish the last book in 2009.

Sano

@EctoOne @hhromic If you're somewhat interested in sci-fi, I hope you have read the "long earth" serie, from Pratchett and Baxter. If not, please do, it's excellent IMHO.
Pratchett humor and humanity combined with Baxter rigorous hard science fiction, that makes a great mix.
Here is for the off-topic :)

EctoOne

@Sano I don't know, I have 5 audiobooks (I switched from reading a long time ago) of the Long Earth series, but I've only listend to the first one yet. I couldn't really get into it.

I figured out why I had no mouse. I noticed other Retroarch cores had no mouse either, so I started looking at settings, and retroarch config. I erased all lines pertaining to input, and the mouse worked again. I couldn't narrow it down to exactly what caused the issue. I ended up abandoning my old crowded Retroarch.cfg and using the clean one from the RetroPie. Happy New Year!

I want to update emulator from Emulation Station setup, but it seems is not possible to complete installation, also tried to uninstall and reinstall but installation stil not complete, any suggestions?

zefolhadela

takes a lot of time to rpi install this core hope works fine, i have one game that works weird with the default scummvm

Dipkid

@DarishZone I have a wired 250 mb line, and the download & build of the lr-scummvm core took a lo-oong time. Did you get any messages / errors?

mitu

@DarishZone What's the error ? Post the actual error and maybe we can find a solution.

I'm sorry but i don't have that, i'm pretty sure install, which is loong indeed, interrupt with some error on terminal then a message on Emulation Station, seems it not compile for some reason. I will eventually try again and takes some photos, thx!
