Hi, I have no problem downloading the file, just installing it. I did try and use the unzipped other file anyway but it also gave the same message of installation not successful.

Am I missing something obvious, does the phone need to be rooted or anything?

If you are able to, please send me the Android log after this happens ("adb logcat" using the adb tool from the Android SDK).
The information in there will hopefully give us clues as to what went wrong on your device.

Might not be very helpful but sometimes if you don't have enough space you get an (un)helpful message saying install not successful...

i think the SDL needs about 22MB ish of internal memory to install?
I have a stock Desire too and I know I don't often have that much free memory to play around with without my phone complaining a lot at me!

When I launch this build, after configuration the ScummVM screen comes up I get a quiet static sound coming from my phone's speaker. All of the settings I've tried result in no sound during games, the static hiss continues until I quit the app.

Hi.
This is the best ScummVM for Android I've tried, but I have a request.

While using "force 4:3 mode"... is it possible to move the on-screen buttons (The ones numbered (1, 2, 3, Es...)) to the "black" part of the screen?? (in a future release)

Placing those buttons in that part via the settings menu makes them invisible and unusable while playing. If I have free screen, It would be better to have the extra buttons there than in the gameplay zone.

Thanks.

So there's nothing being done about the hardware keyboard in either official or unofficial versions? :(

I wondered if this was because you were running Gingerbread....

It helped me to restart try starting ScummVM again after it had crashed the first time on my Galaxy S. I have updated it to 2.2 and I use no special mods for it.

I havent figured out how to right click yet, but so far it works. It runs Simon 2 very well, and I love that I can use my Slideit onscreen keyboard now, which seems much better than swype to me, and will make it much more fun to play SCI games :)

It got a big slow but its probably just my phone.

Oh, thought this was about the latest official version 1.2.1. This other one also rocks, but does not support SCI games?

Hi

Wondered if anyone was having trouble saving in the Feeble Files with this build?

Game runs fine but when you use the onscreen keyboard it will register that you've typed a word in but not that you've pressed return so the game doesn't save.

I tried mapping 'return' to a physical key but that doesn't seem to work either.

Anyone else had any joy?

Thanks
