In the running mode Advanced Detector tries to match as much information stored in the config game entry as possible. The typical keys it matches against are '''gameid''', '''platform''' and '''language''', but it may also use '''extra''' when instructed to do so. | In the running mode Advanced Detector tries to match as much information stored in the config game entry as possible.

In case there are no matches in the ''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. The most prominent example of advanced fallback detection is SCI engine. | In case there are no matches in the ''ADGameDescription'' list, there are two additional fallback detection modes.

The most prominent example of advanced fallback detection is SCI engine. Note that by default the file-based fallback detection doesn't allow to add the games to ScummVM or start them, and is only used to report to the user that a possible unknown variant was found. This behaviour can be changed by reimplementing <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp" inline>bool canPlayUnknownVariants() const</syntaxhighlight > to return true in the derived class. | ||
