Adding ScummVM Games to Android

Are you trying to add classic adventure games to your Android device using ScummVM? If so, this article will guide you through the process of adding a game to your ScummVM library.

To start, open the ScummVM launcher and select 'Add Game' from the menu. Next, navigate to the folder containing the game data files. For example, if you have a folder called 'Monkey Island 1', navigate to that folder within the main games folder.

To ensure ScummVM detects the game, you need to copy a list of required data files into a game folder. You can find more information about these files on our ScummVM wiki. If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out for assistance.

Known Issue in Android 11

If you're using Android 11 with version 2.5.0, be aware that there's a known issue with folder access on external memory due to changes in storage access without backwards compatibility mode. We're working on implementing a solution but don't have an estimated release date yet.

Additional Tips and Troubleshooting

If you're experiencing issues adding games or accessing your ScummVM folder, here are some additional tips:

* Make sure the folders are properly structured.

* Ensure that you include all required data files for each game.

* Check if you need to use a specific directory structure (e.g., /sdcard/scummvm).

* If the 'SCUMMVM' folder on your SD card doesn't appear in the add game menu, try re-navigating to it.

Adding ScummVM games to Android requires some careful planning and attention to detail.
