Is there a possibility to integrate http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/ into MythTV Games Section?

That would be faboulos... <- is that written correct?


Greetings and a happy new year....

Yes, it should be. You simply have to manually edit the XML file (define a player in future releases of MythTV). Take a look at gamelist.xmll in /usr/games.

OK, if its theoretically possible, i`ll try it and report the result.

Now there must be a way to controle the mouse cursor via the remote, than everything is fine, but i think thats not possible. Perhaps there we need a bluemote or something lite that...

Greetings Wulf

And Cesman - i Love your job here...
The only thing is, that we PAL people always have a lot to do to get our hardware running as easy as the NTSC guys

If you have an ATI remote, you can use it as a mouse. I'd be happy to include whatever PAL users need. It is just a matter of someone provide clear concise details. If is far easy to get something into KnoppMyth with easy instructions.

i have git the grey hauppauge remote and a t610

can the Ati remote be bought seperately?

How dos it work, is there a small joystick?

Between the years i will install r5a26 instead of my r5a22, there i wil make a protokll of what was to do, to get everything working...

Greetings - Wulf

Yes, it can be purchased seperatly. If work using the kernel module (have not checked if works w/ LIRC) and configuring X to use a USB mouse. The "big round button" at the top of the remote functions as the mouse. If have specific questions are the remote, then please start a new thread or search the existing thread on the remote.

I've got this working...kind of...

Installed ScummVM and applicable libraries using apt-get.
Then using the ScummVM app, I added Sam n Max and configured it the way I wanted. This allows the possibility of running 'scummvm samnmax' in bash, so then I added samnmax as a game player with that as the command and it runs. However, for some reason I can't get it to run full screen, only windowed...possibly because of my native resolution - 1680x1050 on a phillips 220W 22" monitor.

Any ideas, anyone?

Heres another issue with this.
ScummVM, as well as cedega and other gameplayers are capable of running games from CLI, same as xmame and zsnes.

I have added my scummvm games to /myth/games/scummvm, and also put a directory there called roms which contains dummy files named after the scummvm game id ie monkey, tentacle etc, for the mythgame scanner to pick up.
Then in Mythgame I add ScummVM as a player, to start with the command '/usr/games/scummvm %s' since scummvm starts with the command 'scummvm <gameid>'. and point the rom folder to /myth/games/scummvm/roms.

logically, unless my logic really stinks, mythgame scan should pick up the dummy files, register them as roms and supply the name as the %s when I start the game.

But it doesnt. The scan ignores my dummy files, and in my game tree all I see is the player scummvm, and a game also called scummvm which doesnt work.

Any idea why this would happen? anyone?
