      Hi all,

      Hopefully I can explain this well enough so it doesn't sound too weird...

      Basically I'd like to launch Grim Fandango (grim-win.rvm), which uses the ResidualVM emulator from within the ScummVM Emulation Station theme - NOT ScummVM emulator, just from within the ScummVM theme.

      Grim Fandando is the only game I have with ResidualVM and since many themes don't support ResidualVM I'd like to just add it to another and launch it from there - figured ScummVM was the best bet.

      Is this possible?

      Does anyone have a solution to this using either a .sh file, or some changes to /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

      Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 3
      Power Supply used: 5V 3A USB mains power
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.2.8
      Built From: Built from 4.2 img, updated to 4.2.8.
      USB Devices connected: Rapoo T-Series wireless keyboard/mouse. Bluetooth dongle. Hyper-X 256GB USB drive.
      Controller used: Wii U Pro.
      File: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/residualvm/grim-win.rvm OR /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/residualvm/+Start ResidualVM.sh
      Emulator: ResidualVM

        I figured out how to do this.

        In case anyone is interested or cares, I just added the emulators.cfg info from /opt/retropie/configs/residualvm into the scummvm emulators.cfg from here /opt/retropie/configs/scummvm.

        I then copied the grim-win.rvm into /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm and also edited the es_systems.cfg so ScummVM included .RMV files.
