Merry Christmas Jason and Brad. It would be great if I can give my brother a license as a present.

Hi all Hi @Jason is it possible to Show the file Name or the rom name in the game details? Can I use a custom filed for this? Thanks in advance. Alex

Jason Carr said I don't plan to separate it out because of the ease of distribution as-is; I want to keep it all together. However, I plan on adding options to use an external ScummVM installation instead, and of course in that case the one in the EXE would not be extracted or used. Thats a very good idea. Do you plan a 2nd folder (i.e. ScummVM2) in Launchbox folder or do you plan a reference path to the external ScummVM application EXE? I prefer the first option, because of portability.

Jason Carr said @alexs, this happens because ScummVM is actually stored inside of the LaunchBox.exe file, and is extracted on startup. I initially did this for portability, but I will be coming back to address it soon. Thanks for the answer. It would be greate if you separate the tools. This would make launchbox.exe much smaller and maybe faster starting.

Hi @Jason, I think I solve the problem. -> Backslashes are needed after the variable %~dp0. The following batch file must be started via: startscummvm.cmd sky hq3x sky = variable %1 = game name hq3x = variable %2 = graphic mode -F = force windows mode -n = show subtitles @echo off setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS setLocal DisableDelayedExpansion set gamename=%1 set gamepath=%~dp0 set graphmode=%2 cd /D %~dp0 "..\..\..\scummvm.exe" -F -n --path="%~dp0\" --savepath="%~dp0\" --extrapath="%~dp0\" --gfx-mode=%graphmode% --language=de %gamename% REM exit

Hi @Jason here is an example for a batch file which can be used for the game which should be started via ScummVM(the one inside Launchbox). This batch file must be stored inside the respective game folder. There is only one issue: If your game folder path is to long or has spaces or you put the path-options in quotes (""), then ScummVM recognises the path options wrong. No idea how to solve this. This must be an issue in ScummVM. batch file name: startscummvm.bat Run it by handle over a argument...here the game ID, like "sky" for 'Beneath A Steel Sky'. startscummvm.bat sky @echo off setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS setLocal DisableDelayedExpansion set gamename=%1 cd /D %~dp0 REM REM %~dp0 is only available within a batch file and expands to the drive letter and path in REM which that batch file is located (which cannot change). It is obtained from %0 which is REM the batch file's name. REM REM scummvm.exe --config="%~dp0scummvm.ini" REM "..\..\..\ScummvM\scummvm.exe" --path=%~dp0 --savepath=%~dp0 --extrapath=%~dp0 --language=de %gamename% The following will not work or solve the problem mentioned above: "..\..\..\ScummvM\scummvm.exe" --path="%~dp0" --savepath="%~dp0" --extrapath="%~dp0" --language=de %gamename%

Hi, I have noticed the same issue. I copied in a daily build version in the ScummVM folder, but it is overwritten during Launchbox-start. Question to Jason: How have you programmed this "feature"? And how is Launchbox doing this - where are the source fiels stored for this procedure?

Hello, found simmilar Topic in the Forum as of Sep. 2015: https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/troubleshooting/scummvm-extras-path @Jason Carr

Hello all, Hello @Jason Carr I think it can be handled with the command line : -p, --path=PATH Path to where the game is installed --savepath=PATH Path to where saved games are stored --extrapath=PATH Extra path to additional game data Additionally, you can maybe add a dropdown menu to choose the desired game language: -q, --language=LANG Select language (en,de,fr,it,pt,es,jp,zh,kr,se,gb,hb,ru,cz) Here are all other command line parameter of version 1.8.0 (daily build): Usage: scummvm.exe [OPTIONS]...

Hello everyone, I am a new user of Launchbox. I am playing old LucasArts (using ScummVM). Now I noticed that all save states were stored in ScummVM root folder. Does anyone know, how it is possible to set up Launchbox or ScummVM, so that the save states were stored in the respective game folder? My games are not stored inside Launchbox. They are stored in a different location and were not copied into Launchbox folder.
