Scummvm not showing up

[bassman6805]

Got it. I had some parse game option turned on in the settings.

Where did you find this option? I've been unable to get Scummvm to show up on my start menu as well, but do have files in the proper folder in the rom directory.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

@sms5138 Have you installed the Emulator?

My apologies. Yes I did install the emulator, and do see that it put a file into the scummvm directory.

[rbaker]

@sms5138 are the original cd files in their respective separate folders? in the correct place?

[rbaker]

@sms5138 On my system, the folder is

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm

and in that folder, I have placed a folder for each CD title to reside in - unzipped.

Also in this folder is this file:

+Start ScummVM.sh

That's all there is.

[sms5138]

@rbaker Yes all this information is present in the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm directory.

It sounds like I'm having the same issue that @bassman6805 had, but I'm not sure where to locate the option he stated he had found.

@sms5138 Have looked under Other Settings in the Emulation Station menu?

Screenshots are available at the wiki.

[bassman6805]

I think I just hit start and under the main menu options it was in there under maybe the scrape settings?

Thank you everyone for the help on this issue.

I figured it out. It looks like everything was installed properly, the settings were correct in the start menu, but I did notice that the system wasn't in the /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

(for some reason I thought I'd seen it there previously, but it could have been on an older image of retropie i previously used.)

So I went in, and added the following:

<system>
<fullname>ScummVM</fullname>
<name>scummvm</name>
<path>~/RetroPie/roms/scummvm</path>
<extension>.sh .SH</extension>
<command>%ROM%</command>
<platform>scummvm</platform>
<theme>scummvm</theme>
</system>

Restarted EmulationStation, and the issue was resolved. Thanks to everyone for your help on this issue.

I'm pumped to start revisiting the games from my childhood.

I don’t understand what you did here.....After you say “So I went in, and added the following:”....you lost me. What is all that and where do you do it??????

[herb_fargus]

@sms5138 this should be automagically configured when you install scummvm from the setup script. If it wasn't there you either have a custom es_systems.cfg or did something incorrectly

[dogeymon]

@herb_fargus

When I go to file manager, there is an es_systems.cfg file. I don’t know anything about it. What should I do with it?

[dogeymon]

@dogeymon

Above is a link to a pic of my folder. In the scummvm folder is a folder called Lure. And this is what’s in the Lure folder. What’s wrong with these files? Anything wrong with them?

[dogeymon]

@dogeymon

Ugh I don’t know why the image thing didn’t work

Here.

[herb_fargus]

@dogeymon did you install scummvm

[dogeymon]

Yes I have said in earlier replies. I have installed it. It took a half hour to do so. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled

https://ibb.co/ee6sQb

And I’ve rebooted many times. And in file manager I see the folders for the games.

[rbaker]

@dogeymon but have you launched Scummvm and added games?

[dogeymon]

@rbaker

I can’t launch it when it’s not showing up on the main menu. No scummvm icon to launch it is the problem

I can launch it from file manager. I have to go inside the scummvm folder and select the .sh file to start scummvm but I don’t want to have to do that.

I want a scummvm icon to show up on the main menu
