ScummVM Games crashe immediately
-
I own a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Starter Kit) and installed Retropie recently. I also recently installed ScummVM to it through the following method:
RetroPie Setup Script -> Manage packages -> Manage optional packages -> scummvm
I chose to install via binary (should I install from source?). ScummVM appears in my RetroPie Emulator List with the option
+Start SCUMMVM
. ScummVM GUI opens when I select it.Now, I'm rather confused to how I go about installing ROM. According to this page, I need to have dedicated folder to each game. That's fine: I have folders from setting up my small catalog of games that I've gotten to work in ScummVM on my PC.
I copy/paste the game folders I have on my PC to
\\retropie\roms\scummvm
. When I clickAdd Game
, each of the folders comes up (minus Monkey Island 2, not sure why). I select the game folder and I get the options to setup theID
,Name
, etc. I just keep everything at default settings.Now here comes the problems:
- If I click to start a ROM in the ScummVM GUI: the screen goes black, I get told it's loading ... and then it immediately crashes to EmulationStation.
- If I go to start the ROMs via EmulationStation (they do show up listed under
ScummVM)
and I select the game: the screen goes black, I get told it's launching (withPress a button to configure
) ... and then it immediately crashes to EmulationStation.
What could be the problem?
- Should I consider installing ScummVM from source? ScummVM itself seems to be working just fine.
- Am I missing key files to setup these ROMs? I don't get any kinds of errors when I Add the Games in the ScummVM GUI.
- Do I need to modify any of the ScummVM Global Options/Settings or individual Game Options/Settings?
- Maybe something else entirely?

With what games do you have this issue ? Can you try with lr-scummvm (experimental packages) to see if the games are working here ? I suggest also to update your system if you haven't done it.Edit: I just remember something from the day that was using RPi3. Can you change the Graphic mode to OpenGL in the ScummVM gui and try again the games that don't run?
