Ok, my problem relates to using ScummVM effectively using Advanced Launcher. I will outline my issues as separate numbered paragraphs.
1.Loading games effectively.
My first problem relates to the issue with ScummVM games being in multiple parts. For example, for Discworld I have placed all the files for my game in one folder, and created a fake file called dw.1c. I have then told my launcher to look for 1c extensions in order to find the folder for cataloguing, and used the argument '-f %romname%' to prevent the extension being used. However, ScummVM states it cannot find the game data, and takes me to the main ScummVM page for me to have to choose the game manually, after which it works fine. I was wondering if there was something I was doing wrong with either the arguments or the fake file extension, as having to select the files manually defeats the purpose.
2. Closing down ScummVM
After closing down ScummVM, my XBMC seems to jump to my secondary (laptop) screen, and I have to go to settings to tell it to go back to my primary display. I have tried using a .bat launcer to circumvent the drop in resolution, which goes as follows:
"pskill -t XBMC.exe
cd E:\Games\PC\Emulator
start /max scummvm.exe %1
cd "C:\xBMC\"
start /max XBMC.exe"
My launcer has been changed to open this launcher rather than ScummVM, and I have a feeling this may be the reason my games do not open automatically, as my launcher is circumventing the order to open the game. Also, the launcher seems inconsistent, as ScummVM sometimes opens fullscreen, and sometimes opens as a window, as well as my XBMC continuing to reopen fullscreen but on my secondary display.
Any help on these matters would be amazing, as I would love to get this working along with my other emulators. I already have NES SNES N64 GBC GBA Playstation and Sega Genesis working perfectly, so if anyone would like help on these please feel free to email or PM me. I hope to hear from you guys soon.
