I just added the theme file to the post with the installer...

Make a directory called "/media/fat/ScummVM/Themes" (or whatever you prefer) and then:

This screen is also where you need to set where your save games go.

do i have to unpack zip in dedicated folder or into Themes directly or put there as zip?

Do not unpack. Just place the zip in that folder.

Also, the themes for the 1.7.0 version and the 2.0.0 are incompatible. That file is for the 2.0.0 version.

Don't forget to configure your save game folder while you are in Options/Paths screen.

GUI works, thanks!
May be worth to include it in installer and make it default?

I found that ScummVM has default path to /media/fat/Scripts.
How about set the default path (when you browse something) to /media/fat/ScummVM?

Its home directory is set to /media/fat/ScummVM.

It has a default path of whatever you last picked. So it won't go back scripts again even after you restart the program.

I can include a default ".scummvmrc" with that and paths already configured.

I don't know if I want to make the theme standard, it does slow down the UI somewhat.

[Sorgelig]

Yeah, GUI is more pensive
Ok. Can anyway install it by script then user will be able to choose.

Probably the path left from older versions.
I think it's good idea to include the preconfigured .scummvmrc
MiSTer environment is pretty much deterministic.

For now, I just added "cd SCUMMVM_HOME_DIR" to the ScummVM scripts so that it won't initially default to /media/fat/Scripts after a fresh install.

I'll work on the installer script to add a default .scummvmrc.

the monitor is part of my video capture setup.

Monkey Island 2 has sound for me.

Probably you should get the games that can't run on ao486..

Thanks BBond007 the setup script worked for me after creating the Scripts folder manually (my Scripts folder had a different name). Sound is also working.

Would it be possible to make it so that we can just download one file, put it in the root of the SD card, and run it from the main menu like we do with FPGA cores, without installing? Now of course the user still has to provide a game, but I mean everything related to ScummVM except the game.

[glaucon1984]

Is there a way to make it full screen? Is it reduced due to framebuffer performance?

Has nothing to do with performance.

Ideally you wan the framebuffer to be 640x480. You can run ScummVM to run in 320x200 framebuffer, however that will limit which games you can run. You won't be able to run the newer games which is kind of the point.

ScummVM must scale evenly into the framebuffer which must scale evenly into the resolution for the menu core (in MiSTer.INI).

These settings come into play:

• - The resolution set in your MiSTer.INI
  - The "vmode" setting in ScummVM_2_0_0.sh
  - The scaling factor of ScummVM itself

The best resolutions for fullscreen ScummVM in MiSTer.INI :

• - 6 - 640x480@60
  - 8 - 1920x1080@60
  - 4 - 1280x1024@60

Code: Select all

vmode
usage:
        a) vmode scale format
        b) vmode -r width height format

       scale  : f - full resolution, h - half, t - one third, q - quarter
       format : rgb32, bgr32, rgb15, bgr15, rgb16, bgr16, idx8

Hope that helps. I'm afraid I'm probably not explaining it well.

Yeah, we can think to MiSTer as a console like deterministic environment and users should get a default “just works” experience (with optional, not required, customization).
The installer under Scripts and ScummVM under SD root seems the best approach to me.

@BBond007

Executed script, no issue to be reported.
Launched binary , executed with no error.

Installing some games, and will test !

A Big thanks for this Nice job !

[witchmaster]

Thank you very much for this BBond007! Looking forward to trying it out!

[aristogeiton]

Excellent work. All the haters and pendants can go jump!

[glaucon1984]

Perfect! That's what I needed!

I just enabled Aspect Ratio correction and it looks perfect now in all the games I've tried.

I can confirm that "the Neverhood Chronicle" is running fine in ScummVM on MiSTer.
You have to put this files into the neverhood folder.

Would be nice if the joypad would work as a mouse pointer.

If you use DualShock 4 then its touchpad works as a mouse. DS4 is pretty much versatile gamepad.

As for other joysticks i plan to add mouse emulation at some stage.

[jayp76]

Nice. In the meantime i could use the DS4. Glad i have some lying around.
