How to: Get games to show up inside the ES-DE interface
In this example we got a game we want to add the game: Beneath a Steel Sky
Step one: Add the game
Move the unzipped directories into the retrodeck/roms/scummvm/
folder.
The result should be: retrodeck/roms/scummvm/Beneath a Steel Sky/
Step two: Check the ScummVM ID of the game

Go into ScummVM Game Compatibility and ID List
Search for Beneath a Steel Sky
make a note of the ScummVM ID in this case called: sky
Step three: Create the ScummVM file
- The
.scummvm
file starts as a empty textfile that needs to be created in in each game you want to adds directory. - It should be named
<ScummVM_ID>.scummvm
- In our example the file will be called
sky.scummvm
and should be created inretrodeck/roms/scummvm/Beneath a Steel Sky/
The end result should look like:
retrodeck/roms/scummvm/Beneath a Steel Sky/sky.scummvm
Step four open the .scummvm file and add the <ScummVM_ID>
Open up the empty sky.scummvm
and just type in the <ScummVM_ID>
in the first row of the empty file and save in this case sky
. Make sure you don't add any spaces or linebreaks and the file should just contain the word sky
.
The game should now run
The game should now be added to the ES-DE interface from the retrodeck/roms/scummvm/Beneath a Steel Sky/sky.scummvm
file you just created and can be played.
