You need to put all your games into the same folder and then indicate this folder path into ScummVM setup. On the other part, Advanced Launcher is only able to use filenames or game titles as command line arguments. So, to make Advanced Launcher works with ScummVM, you need to create some kind of "fake" files with game short names filenames. These "fake" files must have the same extension (like 1c) to be recognized by Advanced Launcher when you will perform a scan (http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=ScummVM)
I'm looking at getting this to work today, and despite reading all the relevant posts in this thread and wiki page, I can not get this right.
I have launched ScummVM from a terminal and the games launch fine. From there I also added my game collection. So to take one known working game as an example, here is what I've tried to do to get Full Throttle working:
- * $ touch ~/games/scum/rom/ft/ft.1c
* Add item using ALA
* Attempts to scrape the fake file "ft" doesn't bring up the correct game title (obviously)
* Attempts to launch the game, bring up a blank screen.
I think this is an ALA issue, as I know this does work; as mentioned above.
