![]() The first time it has ever done this so I can't be certain that it wasn't some other factor to blame.) UPDATE: As far as I can make out, there was some folder permission errors that caused the problem. (I only say that because today Romulus deleted a few games on me. I wouldn't recommend Romulus if you are mainly interested in MAME roms and/or if you are worried about file deletion. I tried several in the past but I settled on Romulus a few years back. (The other reasons are lack of checksums, much longer running time and more scene-oriented focus for TDC)Ī. While there is some overlap with ScummVM, not all ScummVM games are DOS and it would be a pain pulling out only the ScummVM games from these dats. The main reason is that TDC & TGOD are dats for intended for DOS. ![]() I ignored TDC and TGOD dats in favour of Gruby for several reasons. Why did you choose Gruby as the source?Ī. If this is all new to you and you need a hand getting started, let me know and I will try and help you out. There is a lot of useful information out there so I won't try to redo it here. Yes, yes, it is and you certainly can! There are dat files for most emulation needs and most of these dat files are publicly available. This is fun! Can you do this for games other than just ScummVM?Ī. I did however pre-warn you in the steps to only run this on a COPY of your games. I ran your xml through my rom manager and IT DELETED ALL MY SCUMM GAMES! (This is extremely unlikely to happen but I'm including this hypothetical situation JIC)Ī. Anything else - I'm afraid I can't help as I didn't create these checksums myself.Escape from Monkey Island - If you are missing the update.exe from your retail copy, you can download this from I recall downloading this exe but I can't see it on the ScummVM website? Nevermind, the game is playable without it and isn't as if there is any more updates for it anyway.Broken Sword - If you are missing 5x txt files from your retail copy, you can download these from ScummVM website (look for subtitles zip on ).UPDATE: It happens to me on some games too. I ran the rom manager on your dat and it claims my game is missing files.Ī. If the title was included then possibly the version you have is a demo version or a non-English title. Your game may be a title that was not included in my sample. I ran the rom manager on your dat and it doesn't detect my game!Ī. You can freely download ex-commercial titles from here (My dat does include: Beneath a Steel Sky, Flight of the Amazon Queen and Broken Sword 2.5. Some ScummVM games are available for purchase from online stores.īroken Sword 2.5 is a free fan game. UPDATE: reports that AdvanceScan works on linux Try using WINE for Linux - Romulus reportedly works on Linux. I don't know of any rom managers for these systems. Where do I download a rom management program?Ī. It does NOT do a checksum hash for all files for the game. This only checks for the existence of certain filenames. This is pointless because RetroArch already has built-in validation of ScummVM games!Ī. ![]() Also a rom manager ensures that all your folders are named correctly (including the version/region in this case) However AFAIK it doesn't check for (or remove) any bad/unwanted files (like a rom manager does). ScummVM does a partial checksum of the game files. This is pointless because ScummVM already has built-in validation of ScummVM games!Ī. Any unwanted files are deleted or moved elsewhere - depending on what rom manager you are using and what settings you have set.) (Any missing files should be marked by your rom program.
