[edit] Download and Install Instructions

(0.9.1)

(0.10.0 beta 1)

[edit] Basic Usage

Once ScummVM has loaded, you are presented with the main menu. To add a game, tap the 'Add' button, browse your card's file structure until you have the folder containing the game you wish to add in view. Select the folder via either the stylus or the d-pad, and tap 'Choose'. If, instead of being greeted with the game config dialog, you are presented with a "no games found" error or similar, you have may have 1) used the incorrect ScummVM DS build, 2) attempted to add an incompatible game, or 3) added an incomplete/corrupted game.

Assuming the game was added without problem, you are then presented with the game config dialog, in which you can setup various options. This can usually be dismissed immediately by clicking 'OK'.

To run your game simply select it from the list shown on the main menu, and click 'Start'.

[edit] Common Problems and Known Issues

(0.9.1a)
All versions apart from build B require DLDI[3] patching. This is because build B is already patched for a different device whose DLDI is compatible with DS-X.

Sam & Max Hit the Road: Major slowdown in a few scenes when MP3 audio is enabled.
Simon the Sorcerer 1 & 2, and Legend of the Kyrandia: Zoomed view does not follow the speaking character.

(0.10.0 beta 1)
All versions apart from build A require DLDI[4] patching. This is because build A is already patched for a different device whose DLDI is compatible with DS-X.
