sylandro Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hi, I'm having a problem when starting ScummVM games. Whenever I start them on Launchbox, they appear to load for one second and then close instantly. I can see a console window being loaded and then it closes, I assume it's trying to load the game and then it outputs some error message and it closes. When I load the games directly from ScummVM or D-Fend Reloaded they load fine, this only happens when I load them from Launchbox. I've made sure that the ScummVM box is ticked, the path to the game and game type are correct, and tried with/without the fullscreen/aspect correction settings. The ScummVM logfile in my AppData folder does not display any relevant information: [2015-09-08 15:02:21] ScummVM 1.7.0 (Jul 12 2014 10:18:50) [2015-09-08 15:02:21] Vorbis FLAC MP3 RGB zLib MPEG2 FluidSynth Theora AAC FreeType2 JPEG PNG [2015-09-08 15:02:21] --- Log opened. I'm not sure if it's a problem on my side or that something was changed on the latest beta, I remember playing ScummVM games correctly some months ago.

Jason Carr Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Wow, thanks for pointing that out @sylandro. You're very correct, I apparently broke ScummVM with a change from another thread (adding the Extras path). I will research and fix before the next beta.

mads0n Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Was there ever a fix for this?... 2018 just trying this now same thing whether I use ScummVM emulator directly or Retroarch ScummVM emulator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 ScummVM should work fine now this particular error was fixed long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mads0n Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 What do you think my issue could be? ScummVM dircectly works great. Loading the .bat’s that i created with the scummVM launcher works great. But when I try to load from launchbox I get the same thing that the OP posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I don't use ScummVM at all so no clue hopefully someone else can help you out with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mads0n Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I got it to work now... what I was doing wrong was using the actual ScummVM.exe emulator as the emulator path for Launchbox. It needs to be the scummVMlauncher.exe for it to work with the scummVMlauncher .bat’s i created. Hopefully this will help someone in the future... feel free to ask any questions.... Thank you for your help DOS76! You lead me down the right path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
