Problem on Xperia S with Android 4

Post by RonBurgundy »

Hey,

i recently got my first Smartphone and wanted to use the ScummVM App but sadly it doesnt work quite will.

Because i rarely used ScummVM for my PC and I have nearly none experience with Android i try to describe my problem pretty clear.

I have an Sony X Peria S (Dualcore) Smartphone which I upgraded to Android 4 (ICS).

I got the ScummVM App from the Google Playstore and wanted to play Day of the Tentacle but when I started ScummVM there came a black screen and nothing happened.
Later i discoverd many plugins and I used the Scumm Plugin because DotT is a Scumm game. Then I started Scumm VM again. This time the Logo of ScummVM appeared and then there was a black screen?

What can I do to make it run on my phone?

Thank You

Have you tried just waiting for 10-15 seconds? This happens to my Sony Xperia Ion (ICS) as well -- I just wait for 10-15 seconds, then the ScummVM UI pops up.

On my Xperia Arc S it goes black for 5 seconds after the loading screen too. As Faelwen says, waiting a bit longer may work!

I didnt try waiting this long. But youre both wright, after waiting 10-20 seconds it starts.
Now I can finally play DotT on my Phone thanks :D

EDIT:
I wanted to Add my DotT Version but Scumm VM always say that there is no Game in the selected folder.

But on my PC with my PC Version ScummVM starts the game just fine.

That are the files names of my game:
MT32_CONTROL.ROM
MT32_PCM.ROM
TENTACLE.000
TENTACLE.001

I got it from my older Cousin. I asked him and he said it was from his CD Dos Version but more he can't say

Well it has a couple of indicators of being pirated.
