In case there are no matches against ''ADGameDescription'' list, there are two additional fallback detection modes. One is file-based detection, which matches just the file names, and second one is a hook which gets called and could contain code of any complexity. Most prominent example of advanced fallback detection is SCI engine. | In case there are no matches against ''ADGameDescription'' list, there are two additional fallback detection modes.

== PlainGameDescriptor table == | |||
<syntax type="C++"> | |||
struct PlainGameDescriptor { | |||
const char *gameid; | |||
const char *description; | |||
}; | |||
</syntax> | |||
This table contains all gameids which are known by the engine. Also each gameid contains full human-readable description, which goes to '''description''' field in ScummVM configuration file. | |||
Only '''gameid''' which are present in this table could be used in ''ADGameDescription'' table. | |||
Typical PlainGameDescriptor table: | |||
<syntax type="C++"> | |||
static const PlainGameDescriptor cineGames[] = { | |||
{"cine", "Cinematique evo.1 engine game"}, | |||
{"fw", "Future Wars"}, | |||
{"os", "Operation Stealth"}, | |||
{0, 0} | |||
}; | |||
</syntax> | |||
Please note that it is NULL-terminated, and also contains generic gameid ''cine'' which is used by fallback detection. | |||
