Unable to configure ScummVm with Steam Deck

Post by golddustpeak »

I've installed ScummVm on my new Deck and have placed working games on an SD card.
When I attempt to change the path in ScummVm I am unable to start a keyboard to create the path top my SD card.
I can move the curser to the path but no keyboard to type with.
My ScummVm was installed by searching in the discovery mode from the desktop and in now linked to my Steam library.

Suggestions please.

Here is an update.
I am running ScummVm ver 2.7.0 on the Steam Deck (which is a LYNX device).
The browser for the add games is missing as is the selection in the misc tab.

I am now able to type in to the games path but ScummVm dose not recognize my link (/run/media/mmcblkk0p1/games).

The SD card is mounted and I can see it with my filer.

Your issue might be that by default disk access is restricted for flatpak applications (which is I think the version you get when using Discovery).

It appears that you are correct .....

I'm still having trouble exiting the sandbox.
