ScummVM is a engine which allows you to run certain classic graphical adventure and role-playing games.
|
|
|
|
**Note:**
|
|
|
|
`ScummVM-SA` is not implemented in RetroDECK yet. But will be available in a future version, only the `ScummVM RetroArch Core` exists for now.

## How-to: Create .scummvm files that run in ES-DE
|
|
|
|
This guide works for both the `ScummVM-SA` and `ScummVM RetroArch Core`.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
In this example we got a game we want to add: `Beneath a Steel Sky`
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Add the game
|
|
|
|
Move the uncompressed game into the `retrodeck/roms/scummvm/` folder.
|
|
|
|
The result should be: `retrodeck/roms/scummvm/Beneath a Steel Sky/`
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Check the ScummVM ID of the game
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Go into [ScummVM Game Compatibility and ID List](https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility)
|
|
|
|
Search for `Beneath a Steel Sky` make a note of the ScummVM ID in this case called: `sky`
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Create the .scummvm file
|
|
|
|
- The `.scummvm` file starts as a empty textfile that needs to be created 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 4: Open the .scummvm file and add the ScummVM_ID
|
|
|
|
Open up the empty `sky.scummvm` file and just type in the `<ScummVM_ID>` in the first row of the file and save in this example `sky`.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you don't add any spaces or linebreaks and the file should just contain the word `sky`.
|
|
|
|
### Step 5: 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 after you reload RetroDECK from the Configurator or re-launch the application.
