Uploading files

Bing · Post by **Bing** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 2:56 am

I already read the instructions which said to use an SFTP client to access my iPhone's IP, but my attempts with that have proven futile.

Does anyone have any guides they could link me to so I can get files directly onto my iPhone in order to use scummVM? Thanks!

Could you give us some more detail as to where the hangup is, and what OS you're doing this from? That would help us walk you through it much more accurately

Be sure to read through this thread before roping someone into giving you a personalized walkthrough, though

Thanks. I was actually about to post that I had just fixed it though. I couldn't get putty to SSH correctly, so I used WinSCP (I'm running Vista Ultimate) and SFTP worked.

Now my only concern is about what types of files I need to import, as the ones I got from my old CD seem to not be in the correct format (scummVM does not see them when browsing on my iPhone).

Well that's good news! You're close -- you just need to check the Wiki for each game you're trying to copy to your device, and it'll tell you what files are required

This is a good place to start!

The list of required files seems to comply with PC VGA Floppy (in that I have 4 LFL files and 1 LEC file), but the game isn't being detected.

Do I only have a partial list? The game is nearly impossible to find anymore, and I was lucky to find my [very] old copy as-it-is.

What game are you trying to run?

The Secret of Monkey Island, sorry I forgot to mention that!

Strange, you have a cd with the floppy files on it?

So those files are in a dir in the /var/root (or somewhere else) and then you choose 'add new game' and pointed to that dir?

My dad bought the disc years ago (I don't know where from), and it used to work on our old Gateway. He did the set up back then, so I don't know about why these files are on the disc.

...and I just got it to work. I was navigating INTO the folder with the game into it when I should have just selected it and clicked "Add game" from there.

And apparently this is the demo, not the actual game... now my final problem is finding the original disc, apparently.

Thanks for your help, and sorry for being stupid!

Somewhere on the scumm wiki pages you can find places where you can still buy the original games!
They are definately worth it!

Yeah, I found it on eBay already, but it's like $50. I know I have the disc around here somewhere, it's just a matter of finding it amoung the copies of Mavis Becon Teaches Typing and Chessmaster 2000
