how to play games on nokia e61?

Post by Twister11 »

Hey, how can i play Games with the scummVM?
I mean it's no problem to play on my PC, but its hard to do on my e61.
I installed scummVM_all and started it.
1. It is in landscapemode and not portrait :(
2. I downloaded some free games from <censored>
and put them on my miniSD but i cannot use them with the scummVM. Do i need special versions for symbian? what should i do?

i heard about people playing with the scummVM on their nokia e61 ..plz help me :(

I really doubt most of the games there are free, even if they do seem to be trying. (E.g. they don't offer the LucasArts games for download, and they correctly note that Simon the Sorcerer can still be found in stores.)

Beneath a Steel Sky and Flight of the Amazon Queen, on the other hand, are freely available, since the original copyright holders have given their permission. I don't know anything about getting them to play on a Nokia E61 though.

Maybe he also tried to play games not supported by ScummVM.
It sounds like it...

@Twister11
ScummVM is not DosBox, it only supports games listed here: http://scummvm.org/compatibility.php

ebay? generally the DOS/Windows-versions of ScummVM-supported games should suffice

You need to copy the files from your media (Floppy or CD)
to the SD and then start ScummVM

Goto the point ADD game and browse to the directory the game files are in
Click OK
Then you should have a an entry saying there is a game, clik on it and you can play
