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. | 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. | ||

=== Installing games === | |||
As mentioned above - you may want to use a memory card for the game storage, the games can grow quite big without compression. | |||
#The games can be installed anywhere on your device, but let's make a folder called '''''\Storage Card\Games\SCUMMVM\'''''' on the memory card, so that we know where we've got our games | |||
#Now, following [[Datafiles|this list]], copy over the required data files from your favorite games and store them in separate folders | |||
#In the ScummVM launcher, choose ''''Add game...'''' and when the dialog asking to do a automatic search pops up, choose ''''Yes''''. In the next dialog, browse to your recently created '''''\Storage Card\Games\SCUMMVM\''''' folder and tap ''''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. You may also have to rename some fan-made AGI games as they might not have been added to the compatibility list yet | |||
