Error message when launching ScummVM games

lovecrafthplovecrafthp
in SCUMM

I have the latest official Play store ScummVM version (i.e. 2.2.1) installed. Dig scrapes my games just fine but when I try to launch the game I get the following message: "Oops, something went wrong launching this emulator. Please email the name of the emulator to digdroidapp@gmail.com". They updated the emulator on 10/25, is that what might be causing it? Are the games still launching for anyone else who's on 2.2.1?

    Error message when launching ScummVM games

    I have the latest official Play store ScummVM version (i.e. 2.2.1) installed.

    This may seem like a dumb question, but in DIG, have you made sure to go to each game, hit the 3 dots in the upper right, select "Manage Game" then in the upper right again make sure that you're selecting the correct emulator for DIG to launch?

    Yes, it is set to ScummVM standalone, not the RetroArch core. Thanks for your help, though. I take it you're on 2.2.1 and games launch fine from Dig?

    I've been testing it some more.

    I uninstalled 2.2.1 and the first version I tried was 2.0.0 standalone. I didn't add any games in 2.0.0 itself. Launching a game from Dig with 2.0.0 installed, resulted in the ScummVM GUI starting but not the game itself. I tried adding some games to 2.0.0 and then launching them from Dig but the result was the same: the GUI started but not the game itself. Launching the game directly from 2.0.0 worked fine.

    I then uninstalled 2.0.0 and installed 2.1.0 standalone (which was recalled from the Play store soon after its release), no games installed. Launching a game from Dig with 2.1.0 installed, results in the same error message as with 2.2.1: "Oops, something went wrong launching this emulator. Please email the name of the emulator to digdroidapp@gmail.com".

    Had some more time so I tried the (outdated) RetroArch (64) ScummVM core as well. Games launch fine from within RetroArch directly but when trying to launch them through Dig, I just get a black screen.

    Really hoping somebody can help! @Dig ?

    Hi


    Have you find a Solution with ScummVm?


    Start from DiG with Retroarch = Kyra.dat Problem

    Have you find a useful Way with DiG and ScummVM?
