Launching single game

Post by thefree »

Hello all,
I'd like to launch directly a game:
on my gp2x I can't bypass the menu screen as I do on the PC, launching the emulator in this way:

scummvm [GAME]

I tried to edit the scummvm.gpe script putting the string "ft-it" but it didn't work (black screen).

Gp2x F-100 and ScummVM 0.11.

Any help, please?
Thanks
Ale

Hi Ale,

Silly question,

Did you save the GPE script with UNIX line endings?
If you end up with Windows line endings your stuffed :wink: otherwise you should be fine.

Sure! Only vi here! ;)

Interesting, I have not done command line launching for some time but it should work. I'll have a look when I get a chance. No promises.

Ok,
I done some little tests:
I used sterm 0.6 in order to have a command line on the gp2x.
Before launching the game I used the "mount -o remount,sync.." on the SD and I launched the game (on both cases).

The first try was without arguments and it worked (some video problems with sterm,but it worked), but when I quit the scummvm menu I had a "segmentation fault", and come back to sterm.
The second was with the argument "ft-it" and I had black screen (but I could still exit to gmenu2x).
I don't know how to go on... no strace! :(

Thanks
Alessandro
