You just need to update RetroPie and it's packages and you'll get the latest ScummVM release.

@mitu That worked perfectly - thanks!!

Do you have a custom EmulationStation configuration file for systems (es_systems.cfg) ? Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu Thank you, I looked there but it didn't really help me, I will try again though and perhaps I missed something.....

Sory for bumping old topic but i've encountered the same problem. For people that may have the same problem in the future i think starting script is bust.

To repair it i've created a new script: /home/pi/.scummvm/start.sh
with content:

#!/bin/bash game="$1" while read id; do echo "$id" done < "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/$game.svm" /opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm --fullscreen --joystick=0 --extrapath="/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/extra/" --path="/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/$game/" $id

and changed content of /opt/retropie/configs/scummvm/emulators.cfg
to:

scummvm = "bash /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/+Start\ ScummVM.sh %BASENAME%" scummvm-game = "bash /home/pi/.scummvm/start.sh %BASENAME%" default = "scummvm-game"

.svm files cannot have "newline" character at the end of game name.

Hope this will help people in the future.

@mitu Sorry about that, like I said I'm new to this- I really appreciate your patience. I just chose to start Emulation Station at bootup and have gone into RetroPie setup and can see it now works fine. Thanks for your help, I can find youtube clips for now for help installing roms. Have a good night, thanks again :)
