The easiest way would be to check the ScummVM console window, which will report the unknown MD5s you got. If you can't see the console window, you can redirect ScummVM's output to a text file, by running ScummVM as follows:
{{ManualScreenshot|name=Unknown game dialog.png|desc=Unknown game dialog}}
{{ManualScreenshot|name=Unknown game ticket.png|desc=Unknown game ticket}}
 
Recent versions of ScummVM will display a dialog when detecting unknown game variants when you try to add a game to ScummVM. From this dialog you may have the option to report the game directly to [https://bugs.scummvm.org our bug tracker]. This will generate automatically the new ticket, but please add the game name, version, and language to the description before submitting the ticket.
 
The option to report the game is not available on all platforms, and in that case you may want to use the option to copy the detection information to the clipboard instead, and then paste it manually to your report.
 
As a last resort, if neither the '''Report game''' nor the '''Copy to clipboard''' options are available on your platform, or if you are using an older version of ScummVM, the detection information will also be available in the ScummVM console window and in the ScummVM log file, and you can copy it from there. Check the README on how you can access the console or the log file for your platform. You can also redirect ScummVM's output to a text file, by running ScummVM as follows:
  scummvm > file.txt
  scummvm > file.txt


If for some reason you can not see ScummVM's window or do not get any output in the text file, you need to follow an a bit harder process.
If for some reason none of the options above are working, you need to follow an a bit harder process.
