Help with police quest and scummVM 1.7.0gits

Post by jophilo »

Hi everybody !!

Sorry to post for a question but i can't find the answer.
I'm playing Police Quest 1 on my phone with scummVM 1.7.0. Everythings is fine but ....i can't save the game :( .
The save button is grey and i can't clic on it.
I've configured the path to the save folder but nothing.
Can we save in this game ?
I also tried to use the original save method of the game but i can't manage to do it. I hit every single touch of the virtual keyboard but...still nothing.
Can someone help me out and guide me to save in this game please ?
Thx a lot.

You can't save in all scenes in Sierra games. Try switching to a different scene.

Also, you can't use the ScummVM menu to save, you need to use the game's save menu.

I found out :D !!!!
To save the game you have to use the "back button" of the phone. When you hit it, a line on the top of the screen pop up.
And you'll be able to look in your inventory .... and save/load your game.
Et voilà :lol: !!!
