Oh, also... is there a way to have ScummVM run a game directly, without going through the game-choosing menu? I couldn't find any cmd line option that does this. It would be nice to be able to hit the "run" button in SCI Companion and have it go right into the game in Scumm.
You can start games from the command line.
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/User_Manual/Running_and_Using_ScummVM#Command_line_optionsYou can do it exactly the same as you are with DOSBox, but may need a couple of extra options. Note that ScummVM IDs the template game as "sq5-demo".
You can also start a game in ScummVM with a custom ini file i.e.:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ScummVM\scummvm.exe" --config=scummvm.ini sq5-demo
And in the ini file it points to something like:
[scummvm]
lastselectedgame=sq5-demo
browser_lastpath=C:\Games\New Game\
[kq6-win]
description=Space Quest V: The Next Mutation (Demo/DOS/English)
savepath=C:\Games\New Game\
gfx_mode=2x
path=C:\Games\New Game\
fullscreen=false
gameid=sci
prefer_digitalsfx=true
language=en
The description could be named to the given game's name.
Now one possible problem is that ScummVM IDs games by the hash of a given file. In the case of SCI games I believe this is the MAP file. Not sure what it will do when it does not recognize the hash. It may just throw a message of unknown fan SCI game. I'll have to test it this weekend.
Edit, I posted this before I realized that this had gone onto another page.
