Question about .scummvm files starting the Launcher

[Benman2785]

Hi,

Miyoo Mini Plus uses this launch.sh to launch the games from .scummvm files:

!/bin/sh

echo $0 $* progdir=dirname "$0" homedir=dirname "$1" rompath="$1"

echo "Running game : \"$rompath\""

set CPU performance mode

echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

disable audioserver to gain some MB of ram

/mnt/SDCARD/.tmp_update/script/stop_audioserver.sh

Running retroarch (ScummVM will be launched with the argument contained in the .target file).

cd /mnt/SDCARD/RetroArch/ HOME=/mnt/SDCARD/RetroArch/ $progdir/../../RetroArch/retroarch -v -L $progdir/../../RetroArch/.retroarch/cores/scummvm_libretro.so "$rompath"

what i try to do is launch ScummVM Launcher from a .scummvm file (tried it with scumm or scummvm as ID - not working)

how to do that?

You can't launch ScummVM GUI through .scummvm files, they have a different purpose. Check here what's the use of .scummvm files.

To launch ScummVM GUI from CLI you can just use the -L option without specifying any rom/game (hence you just remove the last "$rompath" in the script above).

main problem is that i cant run an sh from the xml file that creates the filelist in the gui of MiyooOS

yet will try some stuff on sunday - because i dont have time earlier

That is not an issue related to scummvm core anyways, retroarch needs to be launched from command line with parameters above to launch directly a core.
