Retroarch ScummVM Launchbox setup how?

[emko]

Has anyone setup Launchbox to use Retroarch Scummvm core? i can't get anything to load from Launchbox but i can load games in Retroarch i think it has something to do with the command line any ideas?

 

Thanks

Have you tried loading a game from LaunchBox using a different core(I mean another platform core)? I ask to know if your whole Retroarch configuration in LaunchBox is messed up.

I've never tried using ScummVM via RA myself. I do have some instructions on how to import games for ScummVM standalone here.

My assumption the reason this isn't working via LB is because ScummVM, unlike other emulation platforms, doesn't use traditional rom files - you're directing it to a folder containing all the pertinent files. LB isn't really setup to do this unless you're specifically telling the game entry to use ScummVM (which is going to direct it to the standalone client). Outside of that specific scenario, anything you add into the "rom path" in your game entry is going to be directed to a single file, not a folder. So unless the RA core does something funky like supporting zip archives for the game folder, it's not going to work.
