Basically you have two choices on how to get ScummVM: either you download one of the binaries we built for you (probably the most convenient way); or you can compile it yourself from source. For beginners, we strongly recommend using our prebuilt binaries.

You can download official binaries of ScummVM from our [http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php downloads page]. Go there with your favorite web browser and download the binary for your platform. If none is available, you may have to build ScummVM yourself, refer to the next section for instructions on how to do that. Alternatively, some third parties are providing unofficial ScummVM binaries for further platforms, but naturally, we can not make any statements about the quality of such unofficial builds - use them at your own risk!

You will need the "Windows Installer" from the download page. To copy the game data file from the CD to your hard disc, you will need [http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/pc2mac.html HFVExplorer]. Make sure you get the "HFV Explorer installer" rather than the zip file. When you choose to download the zip file, make sure you read the readme included with HFVExplorer, to set it up properly. Run the HFVExplorer installer and allow it to use its defaults.

In general, ScummVM does not deal very well with multi-CD games. This is because ScummVM assumes everything about a game can be found in one directory. Even if ScummVM does make some provisions for asking the user to change CD, the original games usually install a small number of files to hard disk. Unless these files can be found on all the CDs, ScummVM will be in trouble.

The ScummVM Launcher gives us a graphical method for changing the settings that it uses to run games. There are two ways to do this: firstly by changing the default settings (which games will follow unless told otherwise), secondly by overriding an individual game to use settings that are different from the defaults. To begin with we will look at changing the default settings. To do this, click on the "Options" button on the right-hand side of the Launcher window. There are many options, and they are separated into tabs: we shall look at each tab in turn.

When you change a setting in the ScummVM Launcher (see [[#Using_the_Launcher_to_configure_ScummVM |Using the Launcher to configure ScummVM]]), all it does is add a line to the ''configuration file''. This is a plain text file which stores all the settings for ScummVM. It is possible to edit this file directly, and some settings can only be changed this way.

The output sample rate tells ScummVM how many sound samples to play per channel per second. There is much that could be said on this subject, but most of it is beyond the scope of this document. The short version is that for most games 22050 Hz is fine, but in some cases 44100 Hz is preferable. On extremely low-end systems you may want to use 11025 Hz, but it’s unlikely that you will have to worry about that.

On extremely low-end systems you may want to use 11025 Hz, but it’s unlikely that you will have to worry about that.

Using frequencies in between is not recommended. For one thing, your sound card may not support it. In theory, ScummVM should fall back on a sensible frequency in that case, but don’t count on it. More importantly, ScummVM has to resample all sounds to its output frequency. This is much easier to do well if the output frequency is a multiple of the original frequency.

Many games package together all their game data in a few big archive files. The following tools can be used to extract these archives, and in some cases are needed to make certain game versions usable with ScummVM. In general, though, they are mostly intended for ScummVM developers and not useful to end users.
