ScummVM game not showing in list

[willis]

I am using xbmc emustation and scummvm emulator. When looking at scummvm on the dashboard it shows how many games you have playable. However I have games in there and they aren't showing up in the list.

However if I go into file browser and just start the scummvm default.xbe to launch the emulator, I can load the game just fine and play.

Is there some kind of disconnect in how xbmc emustation is seeing (or not seeing) the game?

    1) ScummVM support added.
        ( games go in the games folder inside the emulators\scummvm\. Folders are hard coded to the .svm files but you can update the paths inside those if you wish. )
        ( emulator and artwork are on the downloader for it )
    

 

Example:

aesop'sfablesth-tortoise.svm

[tortoise]
platform=windows
gameid=mohawk

language=en
path=D:\games\Aesop's Fables The Tortoise and the Hare\
guioptions= lang_English

Thanks Rocky! I will do some digging around and see if I can't fix it. I appreciate the help

Thanks for the clarification, I got the games up and running.
What is the latest version of ScummVM, is it version 1.4.1 from Mar. 22 2012? Is there any chance it could get updated to a more current version or is the Xbox max out at that one?

That’s the latest, unless someone backports the newer version we are out of luck.

Do you happen to know if there is any devs that might be able to / or want to tackle such a project? Its funny that the Sega Dreamcast has a constant updated version right on the scummvm site and the xbox has nothing.
