![]() ![]() It has no SD card and it runs on Android 7. This is interesting, as the workaround with setting browser_lastpath=/sdcard indeed works on a Nexus 5X. Now you can find your games and add them. Hit "Add game" and you should now see all folders of your (internal or external) SD card. Then save the file, quit the editor and run ScummVM. Edit it and change the following entry to a valid directory: This is the path for the SDL port of ScummVM, the non-SDL port might have a different path name, but IMHO the SDL port is better to use anyway.Įnsure that the file editor shows hidden directories and navigate to the sub-directory: (might also simply be /sdcard/Android/data/) With a an Android file browser/editor app navigate to the place, where the ScummVM data is stored, usually: Here is a workaround, which will probably take longer to describe than to perform: That way, once the file browser hits the "/" dir, it shows the empty list you see and you have no chance leaving this directory ever again. Accessing files in the internal memory (AKA "internal emulated SD-CARD") is fine, just the ScummVM launcher file browser does not get the permissions to display certain directories (same for all other apps). Recently upgraded my Nexus N to Android N, too. On balance I'd say it's worth it but you might disagree.This seems indeed to be related to Android N and how access to the file system is handled. I suppose you could code Skyscraper to search for "xyz.scummvm" when it sees "xyz.svm", but that might introduce unexpected behavior. "kq2-amiga.scummvm") and the *.svm files Retropie generates were listed on screenscraper, but that's not your problem. It would be nice if all the versions of games (e.g. This is really the same thing I was doing before posting here, but either "-refresh" fixed something, or (more likely), upgrading to the new version of Skyscraper did. I'm not sure what to do in that case.įinally, you need to edit gamelist.xml, changing *.scummvm to *.svm. ![]() Of course this solution won't work for completists that want to have multiple versions of the same game. If you change that ID to the "base" game, it will work. ![]() ![]() This also affects some (not all) CD versions of games, or games with "enhanced" versions, each of which ScummVM assigns a unique ID. For example, change the ID of King's Quest 2/Amiga from "kq2-amiga" to "kq2". If you do that, then the autogenerated files have the filename you need. A better solution is to edit that file, or edit the Game ID within Scummvm. You could just edit the filename, but this creates extra work because ScummVM auto-regenerates the *.svm files each time you run it based on the game's id in scummvm.ini. For example, "kq2-amiga.scummvm" won't scrape, but "kq2.scummvm" will. But because in many cases only the primary (usually floppy DOS) version of scummvm games is listed on screenscraper, you also have to change the name of some games. Most obviously, that requires renaming *.svm to *.scummvm. The key step is making sure filenames match what's on screenscraper. I got it to scrape 100%, largely due to your help. The following files don't scrape:įrom reading threads on the Retropie forums, it sounds like Skyscraper is using more info than the filenames/checksums/hashes when scraping ScummVM games, possibly data from scummvm.ini? I tried editing some game names in that file (to match the name listed in Screenscraper), but that didn't help. In any case, about 25 games still won't scrape, despite the fact that their filenames precisely match those listed on Screenscraper. The fact that renaming from *.svm to *.scummvm suggests the filename on Screenscraper matters - they list only *.scummvm names. I'm not sure why this seems to matter sometimes, but sometimes does not. For example, "pq2-amiga.scummvm" scrapes successfully even though the only filename listed on Screenscraper is "pq2.scummvm". "kq2-amiga.scummvm" becomes "kq2.scummvm". This mostly involves removing platform-specific suffixes from the filenames (e.g. I can get a few more scrapes by editing filenames further to match the filenames listed for each game on Screenscraper. svm files when it starts, so the only way to avoid having duplicates in the list is to change the filenames back after the scrape, then manually edit the gamelist.xml. This isn't ideal - ScummVM regenerates the. If I rename all the ".svm" files to ".scummvm" and rerun the scrape, about half the games scrape correctly. (dropping the "region" or "-u" parameters has no effect) Skyscraper -nobrackets -region us -videos -u xxx:yyy -s screenscraper -p scummvm A first scrape run gives no results (quits after 30 failures). I'm unable to scrape about half of my ScummVM games, and the half that I can scrape requires some hacking. ![]()
