How do i get Broken Sword to run on my android smartphone?

Post by wooly »

Hello Forum-helpers,
i admire to have such place to hopefully get a usefull answer to be able to use scummVM to play broken sword :D

I have a samsung SII, i installed scummVM + sword 1 and 2 packages from play store and i bought the german versions of Broken Sword via Internet all at once in the adventure collection 7.

Then i installed brokensword on my windows pc and i copied the compleete file of the installed Brokensword1 on my smartphone.

But i couldnt startthe game via scummVM on my smartphone. Answer: There is no game.

What should i do to let it run on my android - there is no real guide i could find. only the info at the http://www.scummvm.org/ that i should copy data to my android phone but there is no such data on the adventure collection 7 when i browse via windows explorer.

please help me otherwise scummVM and the bought games are worthless to mee

The 'Director's Cut' of Broken Sword 1 is a remake, not the original game. It looks like the Adventure Collection 7 comes with that, and not the original Broken Sword 1?

yes, your right fuzzie - Its the directors cut version of broken sword 1 and contains additional material, the possibility to move nico as well and without death options for the main caracters.

As well, adventure collection 7 includes the original version of broken sword 2, i guess. i just read, via wikipedia, that there also exist a Remastered version of broken sword 2 which levels it up to the technical standard of directors cut of broken sword 1. now i´m not sure which version of BS2 is on that adventure collection 7 included.

Does that mean, that the directors cut isnt working with ScummVM?

nevertheless Broken sword 2 seems to be the original version - but still dont know how to get it started on my android
