Is there any development on the ability to add custom core when defining custom emulator as retroarch?
Another popular front end had it figured out with the following configuration:
Package: com.retroarch
Activity: com.retroarch.browser.retroactivity.RetroActivityFuture
RetroArch core: scummvm_libretro_android.so
File path key: ROM
With this configuration in the other front-end you can directly start a ScummVM game.
In case somebody else is struggling with running ScummVM games via Launchbox 1.8 like me here are some things I was able to figure out :
- Currently the scummvm is added as an emulator of choice in the wrong platform type. Currently it is in the SNES emulator list.
- If you try to "Import Games" there is no option for ScummVM games, but if you add one game at a time via "Add Game" and select scummvm as a platform it works and it will even create "ScummVM" platform under "Computers"
- If you try to start a game using ScummVM for android as emulator it will only open ScummVM interface, but it won't start the game directly.
- If you try to start a game which required KYRA.DAT via Retroarch/ScummVM currently it doesn't work regardless where you put the file (in the game folder, in systems folder of retroarch) and regardless if you are using the recommended version of kyra.dat 2.1.1. Same games would work perfectly if you have the kyra.dat file in the game folder and run it via ScummVM for android.
