This guide is quick & dirty and for
windows-systems only:
ScummVM is an emulator system for many point & click-adventures (like Monkey Island of LucasArts) and it's possible to including them in AM.
SCUMM : Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion.
ScummVM offers a lot of free games ScummVM is a little bit tricky to use, because it's not possible to start ScummVM-games the common way like another emulator systems.
Usually you start an emulator with romfile immediately this way:
path_to_emulator\emulator.exe -parameters rompath\romfile.romfile-extension
(e.g. C:\attract\EMU\zsnes\zsnesw.exe -m "C:\attract\EMU\zsnes\roms\game123abc.smc" )
AM offers a complete configuration of ScummVM already.
Have a look at your C:\attract\romlists\scumm-vm.txt. It looks like this:
executable C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\scummvm.exe
args -f -p [rompath]
[name] [name]rompath C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\roms\
-f : switch to fullscreen
-p : path to installed game
[name] : name of game-folder under C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\roms\
[name] : name of game-folder under C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\roms\
e.g. you've
downloaded the french version of game 'Lure of the Temptress' from scummvm.org and unzipped to your scummvm-rom-folder.
There's now a folder called : lure-fr
If you starts scummvm.exe with the desribed parameters above:
C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\scummvm.exe -f -p C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\roms\
lure-fr lure-frPROBLEM:It stops with an error message: Unrecognized game target 'lure-fr'
But why?
The second
[name] parameter causes the problem,
because ScummVM works with own Game IDs (and not true name of gamefolder).
To identify the correct Game ID of your game, use this in a cmd window:
C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\scummvm.exe -z
or a complete list of GameIDs here![](http://fs5.directupload.net/images/151102/g9hzekae.png)
In this snippet of overview you see, that the Game Title 'Lure of the Temptress' got the GameID '
lure'
dreamweb = Dreamweb
queen = Flight of the Amazon Queen
sword1 = Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars
and so on
There are two ways to solve this problem:
1) Rename folder lure-fr to correct GameID
lureIn cmd window test it:
C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\scummvm.exe -f -p C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\roms\
lure lureGame starts. That's ok.
PROBLEM:If you generate a romlist in AM, you'll get the GameID as Game Name. Don't look so good.
If you scrape artworks, cover and so on, you'll don't get them complete (Dreamweb works; many another games leaves empty)

2) Rename folder to Full Title (
Lure of the Temptress) and use Game ID (
lure)
In cmd window:
C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\scummvm.exe -f -p "C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\roms\
Lure of the Temptress"
lureGame starts. That's ok.
PROBLEM:In AM you can't generate a correct romlist, because of the the two [name] parameters of gamefolder and you are not able to setup the correct Game ID to gamefolder as parameter
This won't work in scumm-vm.txt:#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra
Lure of the Temptress;
Lure of the Temptress;scumm-vm;;;;;;;;;;;;;
You've to edit the second row in scumm-vm.txt and then it works:#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra
lure;
Lure of the Temptress;scumm-vm;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Now you are able to scrape artworks, covers and so on too.
PROBLEM: You have to change the Title manually by hand. Next time you update your Romlist, all changes are lost. So you have to change the Title again.
I offer you my workaround:
01)
Download latest version of ScummVM
02)
install / unzip scummvm (like this):
C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\
03)
copy your games to your rom location (like this):
C:\attract\EMU\scummvm\roms
04)
Rename all your gamefolders to scummvm Game ID (e.g. rename the gamefolder of Lure of the Temptress to
lure )
A complete list of GameIDs here
05)
starts AM. Generate Romlist
06)
exit AM
07)
generate a .vbs-file with this code (e.g. C:\AM_scummvm_name-editor.vbs ), change the path to your scumm-vm.txt as SOURCE AND TARGET and execute it
SOURCE = "c:\attract\romlists\scumm-vm.txt"
TARGET = "c:\attract\romlists\scumm-vm.txt"
