ScummVM

---

OK, I have been waiting to play Monkey Island 1 again for a very long time, and that dream has been semi-realized now that ScummVM is in the Market. I have the (I think) correct data files on my sd card. The only problem is when I choose Add Game it takes me to a directory listing that won't let me scroll up and down and when I select a directory it dumps out of the program.

Is it just buggy right now, or am I doing something wrong?

i dont know, i have installed scummvm in my phone and i only have problems with LOOM.

this version have a problem, with this phone we dont have a stylus and the bottons from the scroll are small.

I know this sounds very dum but if you head over to the scrummvVM site and check out the list of data files that are needed for each game that will probly help, you could also double check the compatibility.

Took me a while but to my suprise i got broken sword working, was very happy. Only downside to these games is that they require rather precise clicking....there are specifial stylus you can purchase for the G1 im looking into

Sorry, I replied to the message i got on my G1 thinking it would reply here but I guess not. I just wanted to say that I was wrong and it does work. the problem I was having is that scrolling down to choose the sdcard folder is VERY VERY HARD! You essentially have to keep hammering on the screen for a few minutes until it registers the button press enough times to show the correct folder. It is so difficult to do that it appeared to be locked up when in reality it wasn't. Once you add the game it runs fine!

I tried typing the name and it was much easier to add. It still needs a more accurate pointer though. My fat finger is not cutting it.

I'd agree with the "fat fingers" problems. It's definitely something that would work much better with either a stylus or some sort of trackball mouse pointer.

I've tried Loom, Gobliiins, and Day of the Tentacle. Loom is the only one that freezes on open (after speaking one file). Too bad it's my favorite game. lol

Now all we need is freeSCI for Hero's Quest and I will want nothing more

the navigation menu of scummvm is very slow, but i got monkey island working fine, im already on the island

so ya i love this app!!!!!!

has anyone tried one of the iPhone styli for this?

Bought one from Ebay for around £9. Was very unresponsive and requires hard-pressing to work....It is my understanding that the G1 requires some kind of peripheral so that the screen can recconise it....not heat I think its a tiny electrical charge.
