Homebrew COMPLETED ScummVM

[lordelan]

Where should I paste the Roms?

I have every emulator on my /switch folder and then /Roms on each emulator folder. Does scummvm work like this too?

As far as I remember the roms go either in one of the two following folders while having the official short name from here as their folder names:
sd:\switch\scummvm\scummvm\monkey2\[files]
or
sd:\switch\scummvm\monkey2\[files]
(I think it was the second one)

hi! i'm new here. im not sure if i have to download the pc version of scummvm games, or other type of rom. any help? thanks

Yes the same game files that work for ScummVM on pc will work on this.

That awkward moment where a single homebrew brings more excitement and quality games than the 1,5 year of the console's life releases did. Hooray! This is just epic!

I'm not knocking the switch library so far, but yes the sheer quantity of high quality game content this brings is just silly. Even just the library of SCUMM games is a huge sack of gaming goodness.

Is there any way to run Monkey Island 4?

No, not with ScummVM, and no way currently on the Switch. I don't know if they added it to ResidualVM by this point.

Anybody got any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

LucasArts games work fine. Broken Sword 2 works fine.

But Broken Sword 1 freezes on Black screen after intro video and I can’t seem to get any SCI games to work.

I’ve tried Freddy Pharkas, KQ5, KQ6, SQ5, SQ6, LSL6 and LSL7 but they all freeze on a black screen straight away.

All games using same files work in windows ScummVM...?

I even ripped the Space Quest 6 files from my very own CD I bought in the 90s. Works in Windows but instant black screen freeze on Switch.

Please help!!

LSL6 and LSL7 I've got working, as well as KQ7. KQ7 has script issues (parts of scripts in the game do not load correctly) so it isn't playable. LSL7, for the short time I played it - is.

To try to toubleshoot issues relating those games, go over the scummvm game file list (lists files necessary for each game) once more, and maybe - try a different source.

Broken Sword 1 doesn't work correctly (as is the case for other games as well), which is very well documented in this thread already. There is a general issue with the switch port of scummvm as of today - that causes (probably race condition related) crashes, when a game tries to load several resource files from the sdcard at once. (Several as in 3+, probably).

cpasjuste tried to track down the issue several times already, but since it seems to be partly related to libnx, its not an easy thing to fix.

 

[hippy dave]

Asking again, has he tried building with the latest libnx which has apparently had some fs fixes recently?

Thanks notimp. I’m at a bit of a loss though as the ScummVM website isn’t too helpful for SCI games. It just says put all of the files from the installation CD in the folder. Like I say I copied all the files from my SQ6 CD and it works in windows but no go on Switch.

Any chance you could share your ScummVM folder (without games) just so I can rule out a config issue?

Thanks

 

[perropinton]

Do you think a residualvm emulator will ever arrive to switch? I wish I could play escape from monkey island

It might when we have graphic drivers because it uses 3D.

Hi all,
Fantastic.

There is a way to use the touch like a point where click (not to move the mouse cursor).

In some version is possible click directly to the target...

Thanks

ScummVM.ini ("config issues") shouldnt be the cause of the problem either, as far as I remember, those three games worked, without config tweaks, so they worked by default simply after adding them. Both LSL games have a few seconds of black screen at the start, so dont be too inpatient..

 

[Angelus3K]

Thanks! Will give it a try.

 

[YoshiFan501]

I have a game (Let's explore the airport) located in sdmc:/switch/scummvm/LETA

all the files

• AIRPORT.HE0
• AIRPORT.HE1
• AIRPORT.HE2
• AIRPORT.HE3
• AIRPORT.HE4
• AIRPORT.HE7
• AIRPORT.HE9

are in that folder. but i cant select the folder because it's grayed out.

 

[Mobutu16]

Music and special sounds are really needed. Play The Dig w/o music Its so boring...same with Full Throttle w/o sounds…

I hope in the next reléase you can solve this. Anyway, big thanks!

 

[Angelus3K]

Abolsutley mental. Trying LSL6 ripped straight from my own CD. Copied the same files you have and even tried a different MicroSD formatted to FAT32, with JUST ScummVM on and still black screens and freezes. LSL1VGA works fine just every other SCI game refuses to work...

Im having the same issues, can anyone offer some help. Thank you

 

[perropinton]

how come there's a residualvm emulator on android but it can't be run on a nintendo switch?

 

[Angelus3K]

Nobody has ported it yet.

In other news I’ve officially given up. Installed ScummVM on my iPad and everything works first time, including SQ6 and LSL7 etc. Bigger screen too. Will just stick to Switch games lol

 

[perropinton]

Is there any list with all the controls? I don’t know how to use items I have in my inventory, pushed every button.

 

[Mobutu16]

Is this emu stopped for new releases? No ScummVm news from the author git...

Some bugs might be fixed very easy.

We really need your help @cpasjuste

 

[cpasjuste]

Im in a break for now (vacations), but this is not abandoned. I'll be back to it someday. Also, there is no easy bugs
