== | == Installing ScummVM == | ||
There are currently no installation software available for ScummVM, so you will have to manually copy the files and games onto your device. If your device has support for memory cards, you should really use one as games can be up to 1 GB uncompressed. Either use a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_reader card reader] or sync your device using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActiveSync ActiveSync] to transfer the files. Linux users should check out [http://www.synce.org/moin/ SynCE] and Mac OS users [http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.php The Missing Sync] for all their syncing needs. | There are currently no installation software available for ScummVM, so you will have to manually copy the files and games onto your device.

The ideal installation would be to create a folder on your device and place the ScummVM binary there - this way we can have different memory cards with the game data files which can be exchanged without affecting save and configuration files. | |||
# Obtain the latest CE package from [http://scummvm.org/downloads.php#stable the download page] and unpack it on your computer using a ZIP program | |||
# Create the folder '''''ScummVM''''' under e.g. '''''\Program files\''''' on your device and place the '''ScummVM.EXE''' there | |||
# If you want the new and now default modern theme, copy over '''Modern.ZIP''' and '''Modern.INI''' as well | |||
# Use the command ''copy'' (tap and hold the file) '''ScummVM.EXE''' and paste it as a shortcut into '''''\Windows\Start menu\''''' | |||
# Depending on which games you decide to run with ScummVM you will need to copy over their required data files from the ZIP archive. You could also copy over all of them, as they are quite small in size. But if you are finicky about the storage, here's what files are needed: | |||
:: '''queen.tbl''' - ''Flight Of The Amazon Queen'' | |||
:: '''sky.cpt''' - ''Beneath A Steel Sky'' | |||
:: '''lure.dat''' - ''Lure Of The Temptress'' | |||
:: '''kyra.dat''' - ''Legend Of Kyrandia'' | |||
:: '''pred.dic''' - A dictionary for use with AGI titles on devices that has no built-in keyboard | |||
Now that you've got the actual application installed, let's get those games working! | |||
