ScummVM could not find any game in the specified directory

I installed ScummVM by installing either the 1 engine alt-tremor or 1 engine alt-vorbis build(can't remember which, but they both seem to run fine now) and by unzipping the zip file located on this page...

I successfully added the original Monkey Island game, played and did a 100% complete this afternoon.

I am now trying to add other games like Simon the Sorcerer 1 & 2, Beneath a Steel Sky, and Maniac Mansion.


Using the information in the wiki located here...

http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Dataf ... _Steel_Sky

i copied the games files for Beneath and Steel sky to my SD Card under the folder sdcard/scummvm/games/beneath a steel sky. The files i have in that directory are listed below...

sky.cpt
sky.dnr
sky.dsk

When i click on "add game" and highlight the folder where the game files are located and hit "Choose" i get the error message...

"ScummVM could not find any game in the specified directory!"

I have also double clicked to get inside that folder and then highlighted each of the above three files and selected "Choose" and i still get the same error.
And my only option is to press OK.

I can add the games Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island 2.

I get the same error with Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, both windows CD versions.

For Simon 1 i have the following files in the sdcard game folder and visible in the ScummVM add Game dialog box
GAMEPC
ICON.DAT
SFXXXX02-SFXXXX29
SIMON.GME
SIMON.WAV
STRIPPED.TXT
TBLLIST

For Simon 2 i have the following files in the sdcard game folder and visible in the ScummVM add Game dialog box

GSPTR30
ICON.DAT
SIMON2.GME
SIMON2.WAV
STRIPPED.TXT
TBLLIST

Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong please?

I answered my own question...my problem was that i read the VERY limited text on this page..

http://anddev.at.ua/news/2010-6-2-1-0-2

and determined, obviously incorrectly, that the version that said 1 engine was a version with 1 engine that would run all the games. However, what it meant was that it only included 1 single engine. The other version

ScummVM-1.1.1-vorbis.apk or ScummVM-1.1.1-tremor.apk (28.06.2010)

is the version that includes many game engines. ONce i uninstalled the 1 engine apk, and installed the "all engine" version, i was able to "add" the games as normal.

I hope this post serves to help anyone else who may encounter this problem. Thanks.

I have problem that scummvm does not find any games in 'beneathasteelsky' folder. the folder contains sky.cpt file.

I checked the 'about' thing from the scummvm menu and there it says (with darker font): vorbis, scumm engine [all games], beneath a steel sky, and bunch of other engines.

I used this version;
http://anddev.at.ua/news/scummvm_1_2_0_ ... 10-10-18-7

and control3 package.

I'd be very happy if you could tell me what i am doing wrong. can you please explain it like step by step. Because i am new here.
