===== Adding a game ===== | |||
Before you can play a game using ScummVM, you first need to ''add'' it to the Launcher. | |||
# Your game will run more smoothly if you copy all the files from the original disk(s) (whether floppy or CD) into a folder on your hard-drive. | |||
# [[Image:Emptylauncher.png|thumb|The ScummVM Launcher]] Click on the "Add Game..." button on the right-hand side of the Launcher.{{-}} | |||
# [[Image:Adddialog.png|thumb|Add Game Dialog Box]] You will now be presented with a file browser. You should use this browser to locate the directory in which the files from your game's disks are located. Double click on the name of a directory to go into it, and use the "Go up" button to go back up one level. Once you are in the correct folder, click the "Choose" button.{{-}} | |||
# [[Image:Addgamesettings.png|thumb|Game Settings Dialog Box]] If ScummVM detected the game correctly, it will now display a dialog box which lets you change various settings about the game, including the name that appears in the main window of the Launcher. There are six tabs full of settings to change, and these are discussed in a later section (TODO: insert ref), but you don't need to change any of them. To finish adding your game, just click the "OK" button.{{-}} | |||
# [[Image:Launcherwithgame.png|thumb|The ScummVM Launcher with one game added]] Tada! You've added your first game to ScummVM. To play it now, just select the game you want to play and click on the Start button.{{-}} | |||
===== Removing a game ===== | |||
To remove a game from the ScummVM Launcher, just select the game you want to remove and click the "Remove Game" button on the right-hand side. ScummVM will ask you whether you are sure you want to remove it, so click yes to remove it. Note that this will not delete the game files from your hard drive: you can easily re-add it again later. | |||
