Update of ScummVM possible?

Test version of the upcoming scummvm 2.7.... https://smedley.id.au/tmp/scummvm-2.7.0-20230127.zip

Hi Paul,

thank you, I tried it, but it won't start. PMDLL tells me that SDL2200.DLL is missing. Do you know where I can get this file? (Prefer not ANPM). Thanks again!

Hi Paul

Which is the correct location of the share path? I'm getting:

WARNING: You are missing a valid 'translations.dat' file. GUI translation will n
ot be available!
WARNING: generateZipSet: Could not find 'gui-icons.dat'!
WARNING: Could not find theme 'scummremastered' falling back to builtin!
WARNING: initWithU32String: Fribidi not available, will use input strings as fal
lback.!

I had tried different locations of the /share and I can not remove this errors.

Regards

I'll investigate, I just ran 'make install' I don't really know how to test this...

What was your PREFIX? Standard /usr/local?

[Sigurd Fastenrath]

I do Just Start scummvm.exe in the bin directory, I do not have ANPM installed, nor the usr etc directories.

Thanks for the DLL, Paul. It crashes while starting with libc error.  I am on the road now, will Post a screen shot once I am at home again.

Looks promising

 Hi Paul,

 I get the same error messages as Martin does, but if I move the contents of '/scummvm/share/scummvm' into the '/scummvm/bin' directory, all errors go away (except the fribidi one, we don't have a fribidi.dll I know of), but then I get a new one that says 'No PNG support compiled!' and it crashes with an exceptq file (attached).

 Regards,

EDIT: found a fribidi.dll on Hobbes by KO Myung-Hun, but it didn't help. Maybe needs to be used during building?

Hi

I rearranged the files in the most easy way possible. (picture attached)

I was able to run ScummVM
- WARNING: initWithU32String: Fribidi not available, will use input strings as fallback.!
- The GUI takes time to load here.
- I downloaded the game Drascula and run it. It took some time to load.  It runs with audio, music is missing from the game. Nice game intro.
- I had played Drascula a little bit in window mode and works fine clicking the screen.
- Full screen mode (Alt+Enter) works, but click and movement is slow (choppy)
- On normal exit it will crash and generate the exceptq file.

You can test these free games: https://www.scummvm.org/games/

Too bad gotcha can not capture the game screen

scummvm 2.8.0 will  be released  soon. I did a build from the 2.8.0 branch - https://smedley.id.au/tmp/scummvm-2.8.0-os2.zip

Hey Paul,

  Gave this one a try, and like the last one, it needs the contents of \scummvm\share\scummvm copied to the same directory as scummvm.exe. Once that is done, it starts up fine. Tried to run Drascula (which works with the last one), but I get this error:

[C:\programs\scummvm]scummvm

WARNING: SDL_SetVideoMode: SDL_CreateRenderer() failed with VSYNC option, retrying without it...!

 and it stopped there. FYI - I upgraded to ArcaOS 5.1 using UEFI since you made that last one, so don't know if that might be an issue here...

Regards,

EDIT: didn't work on a non-UEFI laptop either - same error message...

Hello.

I just repacked Paul's port, including a very basic readme with the requirements, icons and reorganized the path.
- http://www.os2world.com/games/downloads/native/packs/ScummVM_2-8-0.zip

I added "FriBidi_0-19-7.zip" but I still get the "WARNING: initWithU32String: Fribidi not available, will use input strings as fallback.!"

Regards

Thanks Martin - are you OK if  I share that link with the ScummVM team so they can make it available via the ScummVm site as well?

Cheers,
