ScummVM missing in 5.2?

Redfield

Hi all,

as mentioned by kara2010, ScummVM support seems to be missing in v5.2 on XU4,
will it be included in future updates again or do we have to stick with DosBox only?

it looks like it is available as a libretro core.
https://github.com/nadenislamarre/batocera.linux/blob/master/configs/recalbox-odroidxu4-dev_defconfig#L139

can you confirm it worked in 5.1 ?

Redfield

That's strange, every game I tried didn't start and I was sent back to EmulationStation almost immediately (altough the ScummVM specific files like 'dw' for Discworld etc were present). Can't confirm ScummVM working in 5.1 as I started with 5.2, sorry :S

nadenislamarre

can you open system/log/es_stderr.log and see the error please ?
show me the stdout.log too please;

nadenislamarre

ok. let me see. it's present as a retroarch core,
i'm trying to add it for x86 x86_64 c2 and xu4 for the next release.

Hi,

that would be awesome, I'd really appreciate it.

Please find the logs you asked for below.

Hello Redfield and nadenislamarre!

First of all, thank you for porting recalbox to XU4 - I've had one since release, however, I've had Lakka on it and was not satisfied. (It's a total mess compared to Batocera Linux)

I have updated Batocera Linux to 5.5, however, I'm as well not able to run any Scummvm-Games (e.g. Days of the Tentacle).

Redfield: Have you been able to solve your issue?
nadenislamarre: Is the issue still present on Batocera 5.5?

I'd like to thank you again for your awesome work - keep it up & have a great day!

nadenislamarre

note that recalbox and batocera are now 2 distinct projects.

scummvm now works on xu4 by defautl on 5.5. what is your error message ?
however, note that i've note put it in the changelog while, it's still not in full screen, i've to check why.

Dear nadenislamarre,

thank you for your quick reply - In fact - I don't receive any error message at all - The game just launches from Emulation-Station, and I'll get smashed back to the menu within two seconds. I tried to use another emulator (Like I did with N64), however, only the "Auto" Option is available - seems like scummvm is hardcoded in libretro - please correct me if I'm wrong.

Below you'll find two logs:
es_launch_stderr.log:

I have moved all roms to an external USB and configured it according to the recalbox-wiki. Might be that the problem?

Cheers and have a good one,
Leroi

Redfield

Leroi @nadenislamarre Hi guys,

the external USB configuration doesn't seem to be the problem,
as I just tried running several games in ScummVM from my internal microSD card on XU4 running v5.5.
Sadly, still doesn't work (black screen then return to ES).

@Redfield
Oh I see 🙁 I was thinkin' that the rom might be corrupt, but it seems to be a problem to scummvm. The weird thing is (according to the two above mentioned error logs) that your odroid xu4 gets recognized correctly e.g.:
File "/home/nicolas/dev/recalbox4/recalbox-buildroot-xu4/output/target/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/emulatorlauncher.py", line 207, in <module>
and mine is thinkin' that it's a RPI3 ^{.^:}

File "/home/nicolas/dev/recalbox4/recalbox-buildroot-rpi3/output/target/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/emulatorlauncher.py", line 208, in <module>

As soon as I've found a fix for it, I'll let you know ASAP.

Have a good one,
Leroi
