A port of ScummVM for the iPhone / iPod Touch. Look here for the latest changes.
Installation
Cydia (Firmware 2.0 and upwards)
- Start Cydia
- Go to the Sections tab, and find the "Repositories" section.
- Select and install the UrbanFanatics.com source
- ScummVM should now be in "Games" section, ready for you to install!
Installer.app (Firmware 1.1.4 and below)
- Open Installer.app on a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch. Use Google to find out how to jailbreak your specific version of the firmware on your device.
- Tap the "Sources" button in the bottom-right corner.
- Tap the "Edit" button in the top-right corner.
- Tap the "Add" button in the top-left corner.
- Enter http://urbanfanatics.com/scummvm.xml into the text area and tap "OK".
- Installer will refresh your sources. It may close. If so, reopen it.
- ScummVM is now available for install in the Games section.
Games
To copy the game data files over to your device:
- Install an SFTP client (For Macs, Cyberduck is good. For Windows, FileZilla should do the trick). Then connect your SFTP client to your iPhone/iPod using the IP address the device shows in its network settings (Hit Settings, then Wi-Fi, then find the network you're connected to). The username is "root" and the password probably "alpine".
- If you're using Windows, you can try try iPhoneBrowser instead.
- Make a subdirectory on your phone under /var/root (or /var/mobile for firmware versions 1.1.3 and above), and upload the games there (don't place them anywhere else on the phone, as you'll be filling up the smaller system partition then). Here you can see exactly which files you need for which games.
- Make sure these files and directories have the right permissions set! You're uploading as root, all the files need to be readable by the 'mobile' user as well.
- When you've uploaded all the games you want, start up ScummVM and add the game(s) there (navigate to the same directory you added them).

Controls
| Left click | Single tap |
| Right click | Hold one finger on screen where you want to click, single tap another |
| Arrow keys | Without holding any other finger down, swipe your finger quickly across the screen in the direction of the arrow key you want. |
| ESC | Hold one finger on screen, double tap another |
| F5 (menu) | Hold one finger on screen, swipe another down from top to bottom |
| F 0-9 keys | Press the keyboard button directly under the appropriate number |
| Pause | Keyboard spacebar |
| Toggle Click+Drag mode | Hold one finger on screen, swipe another up from bottom to top. In this mode, a mouse click is sent immediately when you touch the screen, drags to wherever you slide your finger, and releases where you lift your finger. If you press down a second finger in this mode, you effectively release the left mouse button, and press down the right one (which is then released when you lift your finger again). Useful for Monkey Island 3: The Curse of Monkey Island and Full Throttle. |
| Toggle Touchpad mode | Hold one finger on screen, swipe another up from left to right. In this mode, the cursor doesn't stay underneath your finger, but is rather moved around from its current position depending on the direction of your finger movement, just like a touchpad on a laptop. From version 0.12.0-pre3 and upwards only. |
| Suspend | Press the tactile "home" button. |
| Quit | Press and hold the tactile "home" button for 5-6 seconds. |
A note for those coming from blogs
The official site for ScummVM is www.scummvm.org. This is only a port-specific page.
You need original disks to run the games. We will not give support to anyone using illegal copies of the games. The only two games which are legal to download (Flight of the Amazon Queen and Beneath a Steel Sky) can be found at our downloads page. A number of games are still on sale, and for games not in the list go to eBay, into your attic or sometimes they're still in local bargain bins.
ScummVM is not an emulator, and the project is not only about LucasArts games since 2002 (i.e. today we support over 150 different games by a number of different game software companies).
Vinterstum created just one of 30 ScummVM ports, and ScummVM is a work for over 40+ active developers.
