I'm having problems running scummvm 0.8.0 on my IPAQ rx1950 (running windows mobile 5).
When I start scummvm, the sceen looks quite strange (it seems to crash; see screenshot) and I can't do anything more than soft-resetting the IPAQ.
Did I miss something out or is it a bug in scummvm 0.8.0?
I have an idea as to why this happens. Please wait for the 0.8.1 release, then report back. What is the resolution of your device? Any other users have this problem?
thanks for the quick reply. this PDA uses the standard resolution of 320x240 pixels. scummvm shows this behaviour in both portrait (240x320) and landscape (320x240) modes.
Can you try out 0.8.1, both for windows mobile & ppc2002?
Arisme: If you take a look at the shot, scummvm is running in the background. The explorer window obscures scummvm. I think always calling GXOpenDisplay at startup, regardless if the ozone mode is finally selected, and the GXCloseDisplay and setting HWND_TOP for the window should be enough. These are probably in the sdl port. (Note: I haven't check out that part of the code yet. You may be doing these things already).
Please try this: Make a shortcut to scummvm in the windows\start menu (\games) folder, and try running scummvm from the start menu, with only the desktop showing (no open windows or the file explorer).
I am also an owner of an IPAQ rx1950 and I experience just the same problems which were expained before. I am running (better: trying to run) scummvm verson 0.8.1 (downloaded a few hours ago) and tried to start it in different ways. When started from the Explorer I get the same effects as 'beelzebubi'. I also tried to run it using a shortcut in my start menu. In this case I am able to see the scummvm screen, but I am unable to use the mouse or interact in any way - the hp startup screen or at least its menu buttons reappear by clicking somewhere... I noticed that the top bar is missing which makes it impossible to close any running applications.
I've attached two links to screenshots I just made (poor quality, sorry):
This is an image taken after running scummvm from the menu (shortcut). The rectangle in the top left corner looks like a mouse pointer.
The second image was taken after moving the pda-pen over the menu without clicking
First off, a tip for you... Run a task manager and assign a hardware button to it... Or at least assign a hardware button to the start menu, so you can get to Settings>Memory... This way if any programs are misbehaving you can usually use the hardware button to get into your taskman/memory settings to end task the app... Just avoids the need to soft reset so much...
Now, re the problems, I can't get the source to build before I start making changes to make this work with my Rx1950... (I've given up to be honest)...
However, you can all still download version 0.7.1, which works absolutely fine with the Rx1950... This will keep you playing your scumm games until knakos works out a patch...
0.7.1 works well ? argh, now that means I'll have to see the changes done in SDL between this build and 0.8.x. Considering I lost one hard disk and possibly some stealthy SDL patches between those, it's going to be fun
At the risk of crashing & resetting your ppc once more, can you try out the version here: http://users.uoa.gr/~knakos/scummvm_PPC ... _12_04.zip. It's 0.8.0. (this is not a hack in the dark, just trying to determine which version of sdl does what to whom)
Aside that, I haven't encountered this issue thus far, but I'll see if we can do something about it.
