Where to put the games?

ScummVM games should be put into the retrodeck/roms/scummvm/ directory.

Does ScummVM require BIOS or Firmware?

No


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 in retrodeck/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.
