ScummVM does not work.

Post by PowPow »

I installed the ScummVM application from installer.app on my iPod Touch, but when I start the application it does not work. I can see the ScummVM loading screen for aprox. one second, then im automaticly redirected back to my desktop.

U could not uninstall it from the installer app? I have an iphone and under uninstall i can remove scumm.

Search on the web on how to access to the touch. Then go to scummvm app folder and check properties of "scummvm".. if it is on 644 there's the problem.

SSH to the phone.

Run: '/Applications/ScummVM.app/ScummVM'.

See what happens :).

It sounds like your problem can be solved simply by turning the phone off and back on.

You said you have the same problem with Customize -- run Customize on the phone, and then when the chicken logo comes up, swipe your finger across it. The menu should come up with no problem. If that works, ScummVM should work if you restart the phone.

As for not using MacOS, that doesn't matter. You can SSH to your phone no matter what operating system you use, and run commands directly on it. If you're on Windows, download PuTTY for this.

New versions of OpenSSH (like the version Installer.app supplies) also allow file transfer. Find any SFTP or SSH-FTP client to use this. Some have reported WinSCP works well for that on Windows.
