Scumm 1.5.0 on iPad 4 iOS 6

Ravippe · Post by **Ravippe** » Thu Feb 07, 2013 6:36 am

I tried over writing the var/stash with the new build of scummvm.app and tried it, no luck. It paused for a few seconds then crashed. I rebooted after and tried again, same result. I think it is logical to assume it needs to be recompiled for a6 processor, its the only logical answer like many people are saying.

Is it a big job to recompile a program like this? Im not really programming savy.

I tried the development build. When you start it the first time it takes a few seconds until it crashes. After that it crashes instantly.

I may still be right, accidentally, but the command line invocation failed with illegal instruction 4 because the launch application needs to be recompiled for the a6x, not the scummvm.app itself. I was a bit too quick with that .... Sorry! *Edit although when I tried to execute ScummVM within the ScummVM.app folder, it gave the same illegal instruction 4.

Next step is to install Xcode and give it a whack (if I can). Is llvm going to work for compiling it?

I also tried the dev version, and had the same trouble. Is there another place to look for crash logs? I checked /var/logs/crashreporter and /var/log but found nothing related to scumvm.app or org.scummvm.scummvm.

I recently picked up an iPad 4 with iOS 6.1, and I'm willing to help test this issue. It is happening on my iPad as well.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Mac or XCode, so someone would need to provide a binary for me.

EDIT: I just found the link to the development build earlier in the thread. I'll give it a shot.

Well, what’s up? If I could be your tester — you’re welcome. ScummVM was one of the reasons to buy iPad, you know.

When do you think we can get a fix for the crashing issue. If scumm isnt working on all a6 devices thats pretty major. This should definately take priority. It seems that until this is fixed i have to hold off on all my sierra games for now

Is it possible they can just whip up a quick fix or daily build to get it back up and running? We could test it and give feedback. I wish i knew more about coding.

As a temp work around i am just using dosbox, im playing quest for glory 1 vga and kings quest 5. I tried kings quest 6 but the voices dont work, its funny cause kq5 the voices work just fine. I looked at all the install settings for sound blaster and even changed them around a bit but no voice only music and sound.

I dont like the interface as much, or the speed, but it will tide me over till scumm gets fixed up.

It's not possible to create a quick fix. We use a self-build toolchain and not an official one, thus someone would need to investigate how we can fix this. It's not clear when someone finds time for this.

I suspect there are legality issues surrounding this (hence the custom tool chain), but it appears that the code available above just needs to be compiled for armv7(s). Even if I go to the bother of building it (if I even CAN), I think that same legality would prevent me from releasing it.

At least it looks like its totally possible and even legal too, if you have a developer account ($99 a year).

If there are legality issues, which i dont understand how or why, how could it be allowed for the ipad 3 and it was compiled and works greatl i just dont understand how or even why this should matter becAuse we can still download it.

But in the previous post which i couldnt understand well you said you downloaded the ipa from the above link ,mthen you resigned it and it works great? So do you have a developer account, or if its resigned does it just work. How are you able to get it working on the ipad4?

Hi,

i just want to confirm that the .IPA that can be found in the link posted by jack44556677 is working fine on my ipad 4, ios 6.1!

I downloaded the "ScummVM_1.5.0git.ipa" and installed it (using well known methods to install unsigned ipa's on a jailbroken device) and it seems to work just fine. I played Indiana Jones Last Crusade for a while without any errors.

Thank you for posting that link, and good luck to the devs to incorporate whatever change into your "official" .deb file.

regards
DoofDilla
