Scummvm not showing up

bassman6805

I can't seem to get scummvm to show up now that I have upgraded to 4.02. I have placed the rom files in the folder just like in previous versions but it never displays the scummvm on retropie. I never had this problem on the previotous versions. I tried looking for the emulation station config file mentioned in another post but I don't seem to have the same folder path it mentions. Is anyone else having this issue?

@bassman6805 look in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg you probably need to install/reinstall scummvm. The 4.0 series have less emulators on it. You need to download them.

"On RetroPie 4.0, not everything is installed by default. The pre-made image ships with libretro emulators with a few standalone emulators such as mame4all, mupen64plus and pifba. Ports like quake and doom and other software like ScummVM can be installed later."

I tried going into the setup script and selecting manage packages, manage optional packages, and then install update all optional packages. I then restarted but it still doesn't show up. Am I missing a step? I don't understand why they changed this? I would rather have them all installed and remove the ones I don't want.

@bassman6805 I doubt you want everything installed from optional. Does scummvm show up as installed now from manage packages?

We decided to not ship everything by default to give space for expansion and keep image sizes down. Most people have liked the new flexibility to control what is installed.

bassman6805

I didn't go back in and check if it showed up as one of the installed packages. After the install of all optional components I just restarted and didn't see it on the open screen when scrolling. I will try and check the setup again later today. Also, how exactly do you check to see what has been installed? I still a newbie when it comes to messing with the setup options.

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??????

@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

@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?
