ScummVM on N95 - Games not found

Post by fede128109 »

Hi all!
I've bought a Nokia N95 (version 20.0.015) and installed ScummVM for S60 3rd edition on it. The software starts correctly, but when I try to add a new game to the list and specify the correct folder, ScummVM tells me there's no game in it! I tried all the games' folders I've, only "Monkey1" folder is recognized but it tells me Loom is found instead (I also have Loom, but it's not recognized).
I tried to install the software both on the phone memory and on the memory card, and I'm sure all the games work perfectly (they're the same I'm using on my PC and the same I was using on my former PocketPC device).

What's wrong with them, then? HELP!

Thanks...
Federico.

Need
a) revision of ScummVM for S60v3
b) Type of games.. Monkey1 existis in numerous flavours everything from EGA mode, Amiga, Enhanched VGA CD version. Depending on the version it might be detected differently. I think the Ega version might be detected as Loom, but you should get a dialog allowing you to select Loom or Monkey1!
c) Always remember to copy gamedata from original cd/floppies. Nothing else is supported.

It's the lastest (I think...) revision: 0.10.0 (Jun 17 2007 10:58:36)

b) Type of games.. Monkey1 existis in numerous flavours everything from EGA mode, Amiga, Enhanched VGA CD version. Depending on the version it might be detected differently.
These are the games I have - for some of them I still have the original floppies, otherwise I downloaded them "somewhere" because I don't have the original media (anymore):

1. Day of the Tentacle (PC Floppy)
2. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (PC floppy);
3. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (PC EGA);
4. Loom (PC EGA);
5. Monkey Island 2 - LeChuck's Revenge (PC Floppy);
6. Sam & Max Hit the Road (PC CD);
7. The Secret of Monkey Island (PC VGA Floppy);
8. Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders (PC);


I think the Ega version might be detected as Loom, but you should get a dialog allowing you to select Loom or Monkey1!
I have the VGA version of Monkey1. ScummVM just tells "ID: loom-vga", no other choices are available.

c) Always remember to copy gamedata from original cd/floppies. Nothing else is supported.
I know but, as you surely know, floppies are quite... fragile! I lost some of them, but for example Monkey 1 & 2 and DOTT are original files.


Just another question: do you think it's better to have ScummVM installed on the phone memory instead of a memory card? Or it's the same? I found out that, despite of my decision to have it installed on the miniSD card, some files have been placed on the main memory.


Anyway, thanks for your support!
Federico.

In that case, we can give you any support (forum rule #0).
