Where are ScummVM Game files stored? Trouble with reinstall

Post by Hazekel »

I had to reinstall Windows 7 last week. Because Windows 7 can now reinstall without formatting the hard drive all data was saved and ScummVM folder as well as game folders were untouched, but when I try to execute a game I found that the game data is no longer stored within ScummVM. I can manually reinstall all of my games to ScummVM but it would save me soooo much time if I knew where the original file that stores that info is kept.

In other words, when I open ScummVM it appears as if there are no games added when there should be more than 20. I am hoping that the missing file is still around somewhere. Does ScummVM store any data to the Windows or User directories?

Thanks

Should be the path where the configuration file is stored. ("username" is your username in this case).
