How to set up ScummVM in HS ?

chillinwater · August 28, 2009

when I use a .bat with 'C:\hyperspin\emulators\ScummVM\scummvm.exe indy3' in it, it just launches the scummvm game selection screen, not the game itself.

Dhanen · August 28, 2009

You must be sure you changed the game ID on ScummVM. In screen selection click on game without start it. Click on Edit Game and change the game id to indy3.

Be sure too you configured Hyperspin as I said: PC Game enabled, normal mode (not hyperlaunch), and rom extension .bat...

bat must be placed on roms folder. In roms folder you will find:

bat files (one for each game)

games folders (one for each game)

I'm tried that configuration and works okay. Tell me if u still having problems.

chillinwater · August 28, 2009

Ok its working, thanks, I'm still trying to set it running through hyperlaunch so my betabrite sign will show the games running on the sign.

hyperlaunch=true

pcgame=false

executable=Scummlaunch_Test.exe

romext=bat

[scummlaunch_test.exe]

 
RWin::return
LWin::return

{
hideDesktop()

Run, %emupath%%executable%
Runwait, %rompath%%romname%%romextension%
Process, Close, %executable%

}

The above script works with hyperlaunch and "Closes Cleanly" with "Alt-x" . Dont use "esc"!

Dhanen · August 28, 2009

I know only we can use "alt-x". I readed about a code in Hyperlaunch that supposedly will close any emulator with specified key (in our case ESCAPE).

exitEmulatorKey = ESC

I have not been able to make work it. But we still having the same problem! Each game uses different keys for different tasks. Could we make that I said in my last post? Made a menu opened with a only key to unify all the tasks? Nothing else comes into my head by now...

chillinwater · August 28, 2009

Here is a New and Improved ScummVMLauncher script, with WORKING "[ESC] KEY for clean shutdown, in HyperLaunch, using .bat files!

Alt-X is defined below to shut down ScummVM, can be modified to the keys you want.

hyperlaunch=true

pcgame=false

executable=ScummVMLauncher.exe (place in ScummVM directory)

romext=bat (to create bat files see a few posts below, Thanks Dhanen)

[GUIDELINES]

- Wait for the game to fully load (about 5 seconds after you see the game screen).

- I've noticed problems with shutdown when other programs are running in the backround, windows media player is one example, it wasnt active but was on the taskbar. Make sure no unnecessary programs are running as they may conflict with "esc" and ScummVMLauncher. I dont have a workaround for that yet except whats stated above.

- Also i had trouble launching "Sam & Max Hit the Road [DOS]", I had to rename the bat (remove "&") to "Sam Max Hit the Road [DOS] and edit the ScummVM database "xml" to reflect that change.

[How to make a bat file for ScummVM, from the Readme.txt]

Here is a sampling of Batches I created (edit them and change to the directory where Scummvm is located)

ScummVM-Bats Database for these bats below.

Everything inside the BRACKETS [romname] goes into a separate .bat file for each rom.

Put the .bat files in a separate folder "roms" or whatever just like most of the other emus.

Chillinwater is my configuration and doens´t work,you correct it:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W0JGHQB0

Greetings

chillinwater · August 28, 2009

delete the line in the script above, sorry about that!

I didnt see that error until after I removed a "Sleep" command

Akiles you dont have any games and you should update to scummvm .13 you have .09

akiles500 · August 28, 2009

Chillinwater I have send a game monkey island 1 in roms folder

akiles500 · August 28, 2009

Send me your scummvm .13 with a game for I test it

akiles500 · August 28, 2009

yes with the emulator run good the game choose bat file but in hyperspin not

chillinwater · August 28, 2009

Ok i got yours to work!

Make sure you have "monkey" configured in scummvm first

Create a .bat file with this in it;

C:\HyperSpin\Emulators\ScummVM\scummvm.exe monkey (maybe "monkey 1" for spanish)

Then do the normal hyperlist thing pointing to your .bat for your rom.

Use the script above.

hyperlaunch=true

pcgames=false

exe=scummvmlauncher.exe

romext=bat

Just to note, if you see 2 autohotkey scripts in taskbar tray, when you hover over them they will disappear.

To quote SophT "that's just windows being dumb!"

akiles500 · August 28, 2009

Chillinwater now yes works,it,s see a green screen and choose the game with enter key.

The game not enter directly or is so

akiles500 · August 28, 2009

Chillinwater and when there are more of game in roms folders,the option subfolders of ScummVM.ini work or there are in all files bat together in roms folder myself

chillinwater · August 28, 2009

Yes, when you have more games you need to read Scummvm's readme.txt.

Everything inside the BRACKETS [romname] goes into a separate .bat file for each rom.

Put the .bat files in a separate folder "roms" or whatever just like most of the other emus.

Chillinwater now yes works,it,s see a green screen and choose the game with enter key.
The game not enter directly or is so

No comprende Amigo, I think your saying that scumm launches but the game does not?

It should launch the game automatically just like the .bat file you said you had working.

If its not launching the game automatically... hmm.

Is "monkey" set-up in scummvm or is HyperHq pointing to your roms directory? Romext=bat!

OK, green screen of scumm gotya, config Scummvm to see your game, or double check your .bat, "scummvm.exe monkey" no [] brackets.

bat=rom

executable=ScummVMLauncher.exe (not Scummvm.exe this is in your bat file)

How do you make the .exe file? It doesnt work for me. When I press enter in a game in rom list that message appears: "ScummVM is an invalid system name or ScummVMLauncher.exe isnt supported yet". What I'm doing wrong? (Of course I'm deleted the line you said. Thanks.

akiles500 · August 29, 2009

Dhanen tienes que hacer por cada juego un archivo con extension .bat no exe.

Para hacer el archivo con extension bat ,abres el bloc de notas y copias la ruta que tienes en el archivo ini dle hyperspin.Ejemplo,para el juego Monkey,mi ruta del archivo ini es :

C:\Hyperspin\Emulators\ScummVm luego a esa linea le añades scummvm.exe monkey ,quedaria dentro del archivo que has creado con el bloc de notas asi:

C:\Hyperspin\Emulators\ScummVm\scummvm.exe monkey

Luego salvas el archivo con extension .bat y ya lo tendrias.Para hacer otro juego abres otro archivo con el bloc de notas y copias la misma linea menos monkey y la sustituyes por el juego en cuestion.En el archivo Readme.txt te vienen todos los juegos y lcambias lo que vaya despues de scummvm.exe por lo que hay entre comillas de cada juego en ese archivo.

Dhanen y ya no escribo mas en español porque es un foro Ingles.Saludos

Dhanen · August 29, 2009

Yes, I know. I understand about bat files. I was who discover that method and explained first to chillinwater if you read previous posts. What I don't understand is about "ScummVMLauncher.exe" I don't know how put the scrpit on it. Thanks!

(Yo también escribo en inglés, asi no dicen nada jeje. Gracias tio. Por cierto, como he dicho, para que te funcione tienes que cambiar la ID de cada juego en el ScummVM por una ID valida de la lista que hay en el readme.txt o de la lista que ha pegado chillwater )

when you get that message it means that

1) you haven't added the system to your hyperlaunch.ahk yet

2) you haven't recompiled your hyperlaunch.ahk yet

3) you misspelled something somewhere.

Zinger19 · August 29, 2009

I got the games to launch perfect...thanks for that by the way!

I copied the script,deleted the line that was suppose to be deleted,compiled the script, and turned it into an .exe, but I can't for the life of me get the "Esc script" to escape. In fact when running this script it won't even let me use alt-x to exit...which I'm assuming is because the script is running, but it's just not doing what I want it to do. Any ideas? I was up til 1 in the morning trying to get it to work, but I hate to admit I'm stumped.

chillinwater · August 29, 2009

Zinger19,

I've added a new line to the Launcher script above see if it helps (consider it experimental) for now and follow the guidelines below.

- Wait for the game to fully load (about 5 seconds after you see the game screen).

- I've noticed problems with shutdown when other programs are running in the backround, windows media player is one example, it wasnt active but was on the taskbar. Make sure no unnecessary programs are running as they may conflict with "esc" and ScummVMLauncher. I dont have a workaround for that yet except whats stated above.

- Also i had trouble launching "Sam & Max Hit the Road [DOS]", I had to rename the bat (remove "&") to "Sam Max Hit the Road [DOS] and edit the ScummVM database "xml" to reflect that change.

That said,

Make sure that the your Launchers name = "ScummVMLauncher.exe"

This should match the name in the Hyperlaunch script. @ line...

[Hyperlaunch.ahk]

else if (systemName = "ScummVM" && executable = "[color=lime]ScummVMLauncher.exe[/color]")

There are 4 lines that call for "ScummVMLauncher.exe" to close in the "ScummVMLauncher.ahk" script.

[scummVMLauncher.ahk]

Process, Close, [color=lime]ScummVMLauncher.exe[/color]
Process, WaitClose, [color=lime]ScummVMLauncher.exe[/color]
exit
ExitApp

CloseProcess:
Process, Close, scummvm.exe
Process, WaitClose, scummvm.exe
Gui, Color, 000000
Gui -Caption +ToolWindow +AlwaysOnTop
Gui, Show, W%A_ScreenWidth% H%A_ScreenHeight%, BlackGui
Process, Close, [color=lime]ScummVMLauncher.exe[/color]
Process, WaitClose, [color=lime]ScummVMLauncher.exe[/color]

The names can be anything but they have to "match" exactly.

Any misspellings there would cause that problem.

Dhanen,

SophT is right, when you added ScummVM to Hyperlaunch, did you save and compile the Hyperlaunch script?

As for ScummLauncher, copy the ScummLauncher script from the post and paste it into a new text file. save it as "ScummVMLauncher.ahk"

In windows explorer, copy that "ScummVMLauncher.ahk" and rename the new copy to "ScummVMLauncher.exe" in the same directory. Should be in the directory where ScummVM.exe is, i.e. c:\hyperspin\emulators\ScummVM.

Run autohotkey to compile "ScummVMLauncher.ahk"

into

"ScummVMLauncher.exe"

Im glad to see your "ESC" is working Akiles500, but somthing is wrong with your configuration. The game isnt launching automatically and should be.

Check your bat file make sure it launches directly into the game and not the ScummVM game selection directory.

Also check your Scumm configuration. Greetings!

Script has been Updated see page 4 of thread.

I tried the new script...it didn't help. I know it's got to be something so simple it's stupid, but I've checked, rechecked and checked again and nothing seems to make a difference. Everything launches fine like I said but it wont exit using esc go figure. I guess I should be happy I got the games to launch.
