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 directly 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. | The ideal installation would be to create a folder directly 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. | ||

In the next dialog, browse to your recently created '''''\Storage Card\Games\SCUMMVM\''''' folder and tap on ''''Choose''''. ScummVM will then automatically configure the games recursively and put them on the launcher list. You may want to edit the games and remove the version information - '''(VERSION/PLATFORM/LANGUAGE)''' - as it may clutter the list and cropping the games titles, therefore you can change the title entry completely. You may also have to rename some fan-made AGI games as they might not have been added to the compatibility list yet. | ||
==== Compressing games ==== | |||
Since most of these games, especially the CD-talkies, will take several megabytes of space, it might be a good idea to compress them as much as possible. This can be achieved with a set of tools provided by the ScummVM team, each engine having its own [[User Manual/Appendix: Tools|compression tool]]. | |||

::Opens up the in-game menu; where you can e.g. save/load, configure ScummVM or quit the application. When playing e.g. AGI games or other games with an original menu preserved, this icon will open up the game's standard menu and not ScummVM's built-in.
