Emulators / Re: Help Adding ScummVM menu to AM (Ras Pi)

Thank you so much.

I figured out one issue...I was using brackets in my code still!

Now I get scummvm to open from AM but it's to the main scummvm interface where all the games are, along with options, etc.

I think I know what the issue is, do I need to move the svm files to their respective game folders?
Or are they supposed to be in the main roms/scummvm folder?

I am also using unique game ID for folder names as well, should I change them?

Here's the error message I get from launching either rom in attract mode

I edited the scummvm text file as instructed.  I was unable to run the Vbs script it kept giving me a location error

Thanks @hermine.potter!!

Okay so I made some progress.

I have the emulator showing in my wheel menu (still working on the snap for that, but that's not an issue.

The two games I have installed are now showing within scummvm, with their respective snap vid, box art and wheel art.

Still cannot launch the games from the emulator, I get bounced back to attract mode each time.

I noticed now that in the rom folder the .svm files are now there when they weren't before and if I go into ES the games now launch directly from the title instead of launching scummvm then selecting it from there.

This is the desired outcome I'd like on attract mode and I am completely stuck.  Is this where I should be editing the rom-list in /home/pi/.attract/romlist?  Sorry I'm trying to follow your post and I'm getting a little stuck at this part.  Thanks in advance!

Emulators / Help Adding ScummVM menu to AM (Ras Pi)

Hey everyone,

The last post on this was back in June of 2016, so rather than resurrecting an old thread, I started a new one.

Edit: I read the sticky on ScummVM (windows based) but its very lost in translation because the file structure is somewhat different on Ras Pi

I am trying to add ScummVM to my current AM build.  I have tried the following entries in the "add emulator" feature of AM and have gotten mixed results, I am guessing because of the structure of the roms, since they are folders, not individual files.

This is the entry I found:
executable         /opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm
arguments         -f -p [rompath][name] [name]
rom url              /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm
extension           .svm

Now I am a bit confused as to the arguments.  I have two roms I am trying to add, full throttle & curse of monkey island (i legally own a copy of both games).  The rom folders are: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/ft/ for full throttle (scummvm's naming system) and /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/comi/ for curse of monkey island.

I am very confused as to how to set up the arguments based on the folder structure I just provided, need help there.  The [rompath][name][name] is confusing.

In addition, the extensions of the files in these folders are either LA0, LA1, or LA2, none of them have a .svm extention (referenced in the code I posted above)...not sure if that makes a difference?

Please note both these games are working when launched from ScummVM in ES, so no issues with the roms.

I don't mind launching ScummVM to have to launch the games, I just want a ScummVM emulator option in my build.

Any help is greatly appreciated, new to all of this and this forum is a massive wealth of help and info!!!!
