@mitu thanks for the advice, I just tested and it doesn't matter what the directory is named, you just have to launch the .svn file from within the game data folder. Which is different to the launch behaviour lr-scummvm had before but at least it runs.

For me, I'll probably just make an .sh file with /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-scummvm/romdir-launcher.sh and run the games from the launcher so it clutters the emulationstation menu up a bit less. Thanks anyway though!

@GeekOB Ahhh I didn't realise if I use the master branch it will build 2.3.0git, thanks! I'll make a backup and give it a try for fun.

Edit: Awesome, Grim Fandango & Escape from Monkey Island load. I think they'll need to change the keymapping for those specific games but plugging in my keyboard makes the games work. Also do you find with Monkey Island 4 it crashes if you let the beginning video run upto a certain scene? Obviously I get it's early days and I'm sure they'll find these bugs anyway

@zerojay That's great news!

Looks like the binary has been created already @mitu. Installed and working like a charm.
Thank you!

@Yobiwan Deleting the file from roms/scummvm works. Did you enable the 'Parse gamelists only' option in EmulationStation by any chance ?

@retropieuser555 yeah I'm finding that works great to be honest..

I know @BuZz you said you need more info... But there's no info in the docs for the others..... So not really sure what else you'd expect me to have posted

If you mean reporting an issue... I wasn't really doing that... I just meant it narrowed my choices...

Quite happy with vrscumm.... Happy to take feedback though as you all do a great job here

May I suggest you unplug any wireless (game) controllers particularly using bluetooth. I had the same issue but the problem was resolved when I'd disconnect my XBOX One controller via bluetooth and used a wired keyboard,wired mouse and a wired controller/

@tpr Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Please start a new topic providing details of set up and which emulator you are using - there are multiple scummvm packages in RetroPie.

@mitu said in scummvm: Extrapath por specific games in emulationstation:

It's because the launcher specifically sets extrapath when launching the .svm entry. But ScummVM shoud search in the game folder for the files needed - have you tried copying the extra folder files in the game folder ?

OMG, I dind't read it properly. Copied the files from that specific extra folder to the main game folder and... It works.

So simple.

THANK YOU A LOT.

TOPIC SOLVED.

Updated ScummVM binaries and version 2.1.1 is working properly.
Thanks!

@escc1986
no you where not disturbing me in anyway. it did help me too, i did not know if it would work for scummvm

@BuZz my bad. I’ll update my post or create a new one with the relevant information.

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Sorry for the extreme late reply! In reference to my original issues, I got the controller issue fixed (Yay!) but my other problem remains in that I cant get Beavis and Butthead to load from the start. From my last post, I discovered that the game does in fact run properly IF I load a save file from it, however, I get booted back to the main EmulationStation screen if I try to start a game from the beginning. Here are the contents of my runcommand file:

Parameters:

Virtual keyboard pack 'vkeybd_default' loaded successfully

When I try and start a new game and get booted back to the main screen, this line of text briefly shows up...

*** Error in `/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm': double free or corruption (out): 0x7ee9b2d0 ***

Any ideas, thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!
