There, I updated the APK with support for the menu key again. Turns out upping the SDK version makes it disappear.
The menu appears but is very hard to navigate..

Now, please, no more questions or requests about the controls.
Patches welcome, though.

The source is available at my GitHub fork of ResidualVM (https://github.com/Botje/residualvm).

APK: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/123 ... 20Test.apk

This is ace! Well done everyone involved in this great app.

Been testing with EMI. Only one problem for me - save works but load doesn't

. Just crashes the app. Have tried saving to different locations but still the same effect.

I'm using a Motorola Xoom tablet running ICS 4.0.4 and all default settings. I know this is experimental so don't expect everything to work but has anyone any pointers on this one?

Thanks.

how did you try to load? Through the ResidualVM-Menue or during the game? Here both works perfect (Chuwi V88, RK3188).

Both

.

I'm using the latest apk that has the menu feature. Wasn't able to save at all before that neat addition.

Do you have any specific settings that may be making it work for you? My save location is on internal storage and I tried folders both inside and outside of the game directory.

If it crashes the app, please provide a log of the crash so I can look into the error.
You can grab it with adb logcat, it should look something like http://pastebin.com/54d5EPSX (starting from line 252).

Thanks for the return of the MENU button! Works perfectly now and I can save too!

Great. Thanks Botje.

Logs available here:

Seems to be only an issue with EMI as I saved and loaded with Grim Fandango just fine. Also spotted one saved game that asked for CD2 when loading, but only saw that once so not sure if that's anything to worry about currently.

Yes, both crashes are related to loading EMISound objects again.
There's a PR to turn that off for the moment, as that part is still unstable.
The call to error() is supposed to show a nice error dialog, but the plumbing isn't in place yet, so it crashes instead.

Thanks for checking Botje. Glad you spotted the error.

Excuse my ignorance buts what's a PR?

I get some pretty funky lighting issues on my Galaxy s3.

Also, when moving forward he'll randomly turn left instead of going straight. Or maybe I'm not understanding how the controls work properly? A tiny bit choppy but not much. Great work!

EDIT: EMI crashes right after the opening credits. Won't go any farther. It's also complaining that patch.m4b is corrupt. I've copied it over a couple times and it still says it. The source file is fine. I don't know if the copy process is somehow messing it up or not.

Does your version of EMI work with ResidualVM on your desktop-computer?

Botje · Post by **Botje** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 1:39 pm

I know about the lighting issues, will probably just turn it off for now.

As for the EMI thing:
Yes, it's probably a broken patch.m4b file.

Apart from that, EMI support is slowly evolving. We're not at the point where we accept bug reports yet, but you can see the current progress at http://wiki.residualvm.org/index.php/Research_on_EFMI.
If enough people are interested in testing EMI we should start up a new topic to coordinate testing and narrow down issues.
