This is not a priority since Sailfish is still in beta and there are a lot of more urgent and pressing needs, but... I really love ScummVM :D

I started a similar thread in the past for N9 here on TMO (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81376), and followed an equivalent one on ScummVM's own forums, and eventually a port arrived (http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?p=72379#72379).

I can't do this myself (no programming skills at all), but according to the link above, Maemo -> Harmattan porting was a simple process. I don't know if the same could be applied to Harmattan -> Sailfish, but I surely hope so. Starting this thread, I hope to ignite some kind of reaction and catalyze the process.

This is the most I can actually do apart from whining and asking for a port being done... a Sailfish-styled icon :p

There is a beta version in the OBS, i tried it on my jolla, everything works but no sound output. After closing scummvm, i had to do killall -9 scummwm in a terminal.

Hopefully, we have a working version soon!

Scummvm within alien dalvik works. you can install this from google play or directly from the hompage http://buildbot.scummvm.org/builds.html

Then you can create a directory within /data/sdcard and bind a directory from you sdcard.

devel su
mkdir /data/sdcard/scummvm
mount -o bind /run/user/100000/media/sdcard/.scummvm /data/sdcard/scummvm
chmod -R 777 /data/sdcard/scummvm


My sdcard is ext4. I had to create .scummvm on the sdcard in order to avoid adding its content to the media player and galery.

Chances are it just needs a quick patch to request audio access via libaudioresource, I might take a look when I have some time if no-one else has by then.

Did ScummVM add support for SDL 2 already? Last time I tried to build it, it failed, because it depended on SDL 1.2 which is already obsolete and Mer/Sailfish don't support it (especially with all the EGL dependencies).

Other than that, it would be great to see ScummVM built for Mer derivatives, not just Sailfish. For example it makes more sense to use it on a tablet with Plasma Active.

Anyone working on this? Jolla Tablet should be here quite soon and ScummVM would definately be one of the first things for me to install...

Lucky you. I tried it, too, but all I get is a black screen. It's sad to see nobody worked on it for 2 years.

Yeah, wonder how this was working previously, the good news is it should work 'soon(tm)', check thp's answer from 22 Jun:
https://together.jolla.com/question/55000/sdl2-test-application-wont-render/

Scummvm works (if you run it with path to game dir and game name it doesn't show 'stopped responding' buttons and happily grinds at 60% cpu, but no idea how to link it to GLESv2 (or if it uses eglGetProcAddress). With the latest libhybris video should work, only getting audio resources will remain)
