Launchbox Integration with SCUMMVM

[Ronen1984]

Hi all,

I have a question about integrating SCUMMVM fully with Launchbox.
As of now, I can only add SCUMMVM as an "emulator" for Launchbox and the games i have work just fine.
However, the scummvm.ini is not being used and my copy of monkey island 2 is playing with mt-32 support but without the MIDI mix mode which is working properly if i launch the game directly from SCUMMVM.
Is there any way to configure this via Launchbox?

Hello, if you want to use a specific scummvm.ini file place the below command into the emulators Default Command-Line Parameters

--config="path_to_your_scummvm.ini" -p %romfile% --auto-detect --no-console

Hope it Helps. 🙂

Hey, thanks for the answer.

I tried it and it doesn't work. when i launch the game it's without the mixed settings as supposed to be in scummvm.ini file.

when i press CTRL + F5 and select "return to launcher" i do get my SCUMMVM with all of it's settings. it's really weird.

I tried re adding the game but it doesn't seem to work. I play from SCUMMVM and it works just fine. with Launchbox i get some default settings.

Can you share some screenshots?

Edit your ScummVM emulator (in LaunchBox) and show

• The main Details section
• The Associated Platforms section

Edit your Monkey Island 2 game and show

• The Launching section
• The Emulation section

If I may add to the above perhaps you can show us the location of your scummvm.ini file because the default place is where ScummVm looks/creates its files automatically is "C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\ScummVM" if you are pointing to anywhere else you might want to delete that folder and check again.

(side note) If you have LaunchBox install or update ScummVM for you, during this process, LaunchBox will create an empty "scummvm.ini" file in the emulators folder (if one doesn't exist there). Making ScummVM portable.

With that, if your settings were originally all saved under %AppData% and you had LB update the emulator, the 'older' setting are not copied over.

 

This however does not explain why when launched outside on LaunchBox, the specific settings load. But not, when launched from within LaunchBox.

Unless the testing is inadvertently being done between 2 separate installs of ScummVM.

Yes, that's also another thing to keep in mind... which I have to admit I never used, so I didn't took into consideration. Thanks 😁
