Help for a newbie on Palm TX (nothing works!)

Post by meneceo »

Hello,
I can't run any game...

I've installed on my Palm TX ScummVM 0.9.0svn

On my memory card, in the folder "PALM/Programs/ScummVM/Games" I have
3 games "monkey", "monkey2" and "monkey3" (=Monkey Island 1, 2 and The Course of...).

I correctly set my "Secure Digital Card" on the cards list.

For monkey1 I put in the "Game Manager":
Entry name: Monkey Island
Path: slot2://PALM/Programs/ScummVM/Games/monkey/
Game: monkey
Engine: Scumm Games

If I try to start the game I get the message "Importng databases please wait" and then the Palm crashes (and restart).

On my memory card I found a "scumm.log" file. Inside it I have this message: "WARNING: Unable to open configuration file: /PALM/Programs/ScummVM/scummvm.ini! NoUsageString"

What's my fault?

Thank you very much :)

I formatted the memory card and installed the arm version.

Now in the scumm.log file I get this message:

"WARNING: Unable to open configuration file: /PALM/Programs/ScummVM/scummvm.ini!
Looking for monkey2
Trying to start game 'Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge'
WARNING: Failed to instantiate engine for target monkey2!"

The error "failed to instantiate engine for target..." is the same for every game I try.

:(

COMI has higher resolution than any PalmOS device out, so I doubt you'll get it to run
