How can I use the Speedlink Competition Pro USB Joystick with ScummVM?
MacOS 10.13.6, Scummvm 2.0.0
Path $HOME/Library/Preferences/ScummVM Preferences doesn't exist, can't find the scummvm.ini
Can anybody help?
Configuring joystick macOS/Scummvm

I think you will need to use the Terminal for both of your issues.
To cover finding the ScummVM config file, it should be in that location i.e. in your home directory under that path.
See:

Try opening a Terminal and using the command:
> find / -name "scummvm.ini"
That should tell you the path for a file of that name...
Apart from that, to use a Joystick, run ScummVM from the command line with the command:
> scummvm --joystick=0
as per https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob ... ADME#L1556

On macOS the file should be called "ScummVM Preferences" and not "scummvm.ini". And by default it should be in the location you indicated in your first post.
Which means that the following command in the Terminal should open it:
If that file really does not exist, and in case it has been created somewhere else for some reasons, you could try looking for it using the command provided by digitall but with the correct file name:
As for the running ScummVM in the terminal as suggested by digitall, on macOS the executable is inside the ScummVM.app bundle. To run it you will therefore need something similar to the command below (which assumes ScummVM.app is in the /Applications folder, you may need to adapt the path depending where it is on your computer):
You can also Drag&Drop the ScummVM.app on the Terminal to get the first part of the command above, but make sure to remove the space at the end before appending "/Contents/MacOS/scummvm".
Which means that the following command in the Terminal should open it:
Code: Select all
open "$HOME/Library/Preferences/ScummVM Preferences"
Code: Select all
find / -name "ScummVM Preferences"
Code: Select all
/Applications/ScummVM.app/Contents/MacOS/scummvm --joystick=0

Just did a test and adding:
joystick_num=0
to the config file will enable joystick by default at startup.
