smd111 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) 1.Extract put all of you game in to one dir with seporate folders for each game EXAMPLE C:\GameEx emp\Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (this would be for Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis)2.use scummvm's batch add game to add all your games to scummvm3.compress your games to an archive with winRAR using "put each file to separate archive"(i used .zip format) you should now have an archive called "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.zip"4.rename your archives to the scummvm name (these can be found in your scummvm.ini) EXAMPLE for "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.zip" you would name it "atlantis.zip"5.move all of your commpressed games to another folder(because the launch after command will deleate the folder you used to setup your scummvm games)6.use wahoo map script to create a map file found here: 7.use these in your emu setup(you will need to install 7-zip) Command Line: scummvm.exe -f [ROM] Launch Before: "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z" x E:\Roms\ScummVM\Games\[ROM].zip -oC:\GameEx emp NOTE: if you want to change your folders or archive type E:\Roms\ScummVM\Games\ - this is the location ware you will store your compressed games [ROM].zip - this is the archive type you are using (if you want to use rar change it to [ROM].rar) C:\GameEx emp - this is the folder ware you put your games when you added them to scummvm Launch After: CMD /c rd C:\GameEx emp /s /q NOTE: if you want to change your folder C:\GameEx emp - this is the folder ware you put your games when you added them to scummvmthe only thig that i need is a fully updated database file for scummvmi know it quick and dirty but it works with no problems Edited September 18, 2012 by smd111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullPointer Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks for the cool little tutorial smd. One tip I might add is that registered users can leverage native GameEx support for Zip/7-Zip/GoodMerge. This setting can be found on the Advanced Emulator Setup screen in the Setup wizard. This would enable GameEx to automatically decompress the game to your temp directory, and forgo the Launch Before and Launch After parameters seen here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaUMi Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 but what folder does gameex send them to because you need to setup scummvm with each game befor you can use themAs nullPointer said, it should be Windows' Temp Directory...P.S.: Thank you for the tutorial smd!!!

smd111 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 As nullPointer said, it should be Windows' Temp Directory...P.S.: Thank you for the tutorial smd!!!i have done some testing and as far as i can tell gameex puts what it extracts to a different folder each time it extracts it but scummvm needs it to be exactware it could beC:\Users\******\AppData\Local\Temp\1C:\Users\******\AppData\Local\Temp\2...etcbut scummvm will always look inC:\Users\******\AppData\Local\Temp\1and if its no there it will fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that GameEx simply unzipped directly to the Windows temp directory. OTOH I'm not running ScummVM in this same fashion.All the same I'd be curious what happens if you add the path parameter to your ScummVM command line:scummvm.exe -f -p "[ROMPATH]" [ROM](Bearing in mind this would be purely an experiment, and you are under no obligation to attempt it. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
