Can not save on Android 2.3.6

Post by DarsVaeda »

Hi,

I installed scumm 1.4 on android 2.3.6 (nexus one) and have the games:
day of the tentacle
simon the sorcerer 1 & 2

In neither game I have the possibility to save the gamestate. (buttons greyed out)
I created a directory "save" in the gamefiles directory (as stated in another thread).
Also I set the save path in the game options.
But still no save option.

What can I do to save the games?
Without it is nearly unplayable :(

You have to use the postcard (in your inventory) to save in simon the sorceror.

DotT should work fine though, so that's really weird.. you're sure you're not in a cutscene or something?

Oh I totally forgot to try DoT after I set the save folder manually, which works :)

And Simon also works via the postcard. But you have to long-press the menu key to get the keyboard up. (that was the thing I was missing).
Also entering with swype keyboard does not work well, you have to close the keyboard after each letter.
The original keyboard works well thou.

Thanks!
