Btw. Love to have Scummvm in Mister, the most annoying thing however is to have to to through the script menu to start it instead of being able simply to load it over the cores menu. This breaks the fluidity of the starting workflow and reduces the convenience. I can understand why, but is there a way around it?

Posted: **Sun Jan 31, 2021 2:15 pm**

It's probably possible to compile a core file that just boots the script from the scripts folder , for convenience.

so scummvm.rbf that boots a script

or a scummvm.mra that boots a script

I have been trying to get scumm to work with the remastered theme but it always defaults to builtin.

I've tried different paths, editing scumm.ini etc etc but whenever I select "change theme" it only shows the default builtin and none of the themes in the themes directory even though the path is set correctly.

Every youtube video I've seen shows them simply clicking "change theme" and selecting scummremastered.zip, but Ive been pulling hairs out trying to get this to work.

Themes need to be zipped and every scummvm version needs his own theme version. If you use ScummVM 2.2 you can install the windows version of 2.2 and copy the themes over to the themes path you set in Mister ScummVM. Hope this helps.

+1 for a RBF or MRA file

thanks I will try this

Any links how to do that, mra file sounds reasonable, but I looked into the file format and it seems to be an arcade rom descriptor.

Core folder only reads rbf files, otherwise you could have stuck that scummvm.sh script in there and run it like that

Posted: **Sun Mar 07, 2021 5:55 pm**

Yes thats the problem, so no way to run a script from the main menu the easy way, you always will have to go through scripts...

Sorry for off topic but didn’t want to start a new thread, would MT32-pi support be possible? I would imagine it may be a problem as it doesn’t run as a native core and you can’t access the OSD

Posted: **Fri Mar 26, 2021 4:33 am**

Just run ao486 or the Amiga core with MIDI sound...

If you use a USB to MIDI adapter instead of the USER port connection you can use MIDI with SCUMMVM.

ScummVM seems to not work anymore - some library is missing (I believe it's been happening since one of the last Linux updates for Mister). Anyone else also having problems with everything updated?

Yeah, it was broke

I have been happily running a newer build ScummVM personally, but I have also been very busy on another project and also sorta lost the motivation to update my MiSTer_ScummVM repo due to criticism from ppl insisting that ScummVM does not belong on MiSTer.

Please run the installer again and it will be fixed - hopefully.

Perhaps, I will consider also updating the build binary, but a few people have already asked for this specific fix and it was very simple - adding the missing .deb --> https://github.com/bbond007/MiSTer_Scum ... 184f072a68

Posted: **Wed Oct 06, 2021 7:31 pm**

That works! You're great, dude!

Posted: **Wed Oct 06, 2021 7:59 pm**

My thanks as well - whatever flak you got in the past, it *is* welcomed and appreciated! I'm not much for the 'kitchen sink' approach either, tbh, but this is one framework in particular that actually belongs on MiSTer IMHO.

I hope you could compile the latest version of scumm. I use it on my mister all the time.

Is it possible to create a shortcut from ScummVM to the Mister Menu along with the other Cores?

Posted: **Sat Oct 23, 2021 7:25 pm**

It is not a core. Its just a linux program running on the other core of the Arm Chip

Posted: **Sun Oct 24, 2021 1:01 am**

Is it possible to open Arm Chip core and run ScummVM? That would be calling within the menu!

Posted: **Sun Oct 24, 2021 8:33 am**

No because the Menu runs on the FPGA. The Menu is a core.

Posted: **Sun Oct 24, 2021 11:15 am**

If the "Menu" as an FPGA core is able to run the ScummVM script, then why wouldn't be another one?
But even then: what is the point?

I am testing 2.3 now and its going well...

If that is successful then I'll try 2.5 - not sure what happened to 2.4

It's important to maintain the distinction between the ScummVM application and the FPGA cores.

Such a change would create some confusion, but even more drama, so It's not a hill I'm willing to climb.

I put my ScummVM script under /media/fat/Scripts/_Ports_ that way its at the top of my list for easy access.

Hope that helps...

Friend, how do I make ScummVM full screen on my TV?

marcelosofth wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 5:39 pm Friend, how do I make ScummVM full screen on my TV?

Generally you need to change the resolution of the Menu core.

These are just example settings as I have no idea with the specs and capabilities of your TV.

MiSTer.INI:

Code: Select all

  
[MENU]
vga_scaler=1
video_mode=6

ScummVM_2_X_X.sh:

Code: Select all

 
echo "Setting Video mode..."
vmode -r 640 480 rgb16

ScummVM/Options:

Graphics Mode: <default>
Render Mode: <default>
[X] Aspect ratio correction
[ ] Fullscreen mode

Is it possible to use ScummVM with MT-32pi, I know AO486 Monkey Island works with MT-32pi and ScummVM too?

Posted: **Tue Oct 26, 2021 10:55 am**

It's a shame to use a MiSTer to run ScummVM. But that's just my opinion !

Not when it is connected to the analog IO board user port, as that is accessed by the FPGA, not the ARM CPU.

In theory it could work if you connected it to one of the USB ports (by using two USB MIDI interfaces with MIDI cables, which is really impractical, I don't think the MT32-pi supports MIDI over USB directly). But I don't remember ScummVM having MIDI interface support, so I don't think this is possible in practice.

Posted: **Tue Oct 26, 2021 1:10 pm**

So in reality if I want to play Monkey Island with the MT-32pi only with the AO486 CORE?

That is correct. I highly recommend getting the eXoFlynn Top 300 DOS Pack, which includes multiple games with MT32-pi support.

ScummVM does support MIDI.

I use it with my UM-ONE MK2 connected to a Roland MT32, SC88pro, SC55mkII and Yamaha MU90
