I'll try as you suggest - making a ScummVM folder on the internal storage and couch it as described.

#SCUMMVM SOG FILE ANDROID#

To answer your question, I am using Android 11 (Galaxy Tab S6 Lite) and I was trying on the SD card. Thanks so much for your response - that file/folder tree helps a lot. I normally don't use this, but you may find it more convenient. You could use this to point to a folder which contains your games' subfolders and let ScummVM detect every game that it can by recursively scanning the subfolders. Launch ScummVM app on my Android device, use the 'Add Game' to point to each of the newly added foldersĪs noted in the documentation page about Adding Games, there's also a batch-mode alternative for 'Add Game', called 'Mass Add' which is accessed by clicking the small arrow icon on the button.

Copy these folder over to my tablet or smartphone (usually using the Android Studio Device File Explorer, but Windows File Explorer should also work I guess). Optionally test that my Windows ScummVM detects and launches them without issues Also if you have a game on CD(s), then copying all data as they are on the CDs in a game folder is a crude way of creating the game data folder which may work (most of the time) - but the recommended way is to follow the instructions per game (or per game engine) on our wiki. Quite a lot of the time (but not always), if you have the GOG (or Steam) version of a game installed on your PC, the folder where you've installed it should contain the required data files as ScummVM expects them (and probably a few more that ScummVM does not need). Here's the documentation entry about the Add Game process. You may not see ScummVM listing the contents of the game folder, but if you click Ok, it should tell you if it detected the game (and, if so, which game it detected). The gist of adding a game is using the 'Add Game.' from the launcher view, then pointing *inside* the folder of the game. 'Monkey Island 1', 'Loom', 'Blade Runner'). In Android 10 or lower I have created a 'games' folder and in there I have multiple game folders (eg. Here's the documentation entry about this. You do need to copy a list of the required data files per game in a game folder for ScummVM to detect it and you can look on our ScummVM wiki for instructions on those files.

If you have a desktop/laptop PC with Windows/Linux/Mac, the process of creating a game folder and adding the game to ScummVM should not be much different. Now, the app should otherwise function though, unless there's another bug that's not reported to us - or we failed to catch.

We're working on implementing a solution, but I have no ETA for that. I know that in Android 11 the current version (2.5.0) has a known issue with folder access on external memory, since Android 11 introduces some radical changes in storage access without the option to use a backwards compatibility mode anymore. Is 2.5.0 the current ScummVM version you're testing? Did you use ScummVM before 2.5.0 and did it work before (wrt folder access) ? What is the version of Android OS that you're tablet is running? Hello, could you provide a few more details on your tablet? Mainly: Sorry for the flood of questions, but I would love to have access to these games on my tablet and I've been working on it for a few weeks now and can't figure it out. Is there a particular way I should be couching the folders? Do I use the folders or just the files? Is there a reason why the SCUMMVM folder I made (/sdcard/scummvm) isn't showing when I go to add a game? I'm assuming that I need to include all of the files that come with the folder? I tried to use the 'files' folder in the SCUMM folder in the Android/Data directory, it also says it can't find any games there. I then put a folder for a game (let's say Monkey Island 2) into a folder that I CAN access from the add a game menu and it says there are no games there. On my SD Card, I made a folder called SCUMMVM, but it doesn't show up on the directory when I try to add a game.

I have no idea where to put the games or how to add them. I've searched for a clear tutorial, and I've yet to find it here, on YouTube, or on Reddit. Hey everyone, I'd like to think I'm pretty tech-savvy, but I am having a hell of a time getting SCUMMVM to work correctly on my Galaxy Tab 6 Lite.
