Scummvm games on nas available?

Post by Fexel »

Im using an android tablet.

I also own a synology nas.

Is it possible in some way, to reach the scummvm games on my nas from the android tablet scummvm installation?

Thanks

This is outside of the scope of ScummVM which just accesses the files in the filesystem. Mounting network drives, whether SMB/CIFS, AFP or NFS is done by Operating System Support.

A quick google shows that it is possible to mount SMB/CIFS shares which are provided by NAS devices on Android devices:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... b&hl=en_GB
https://android.stackexchange.com/quest ... oid-device
http://reviewlagoon.com/nexus-7-tutoria ... s-a-drive/

Once mounted, ScummVM can detect and "Add Game" from these locations as per normal.

However, the games may behave slightly oddly as the latency for accessing the files across the network could cause slow down or glitches. It is more recommended to copy the game files to local storage / SD Card.
