Hey forum folks I love iPhone scummVM port as well as playing it with an actual mouse on my macbook. My question is, can I transfer my saved games from my mac to my iPhone and continue it then transfer the saved game back? If this is possible it would be so awesome playing the game wherever I am. Any info is helpful. Thanks!

Yup, just upload the savegames (On your Mac they'll be in /Users/youruser/Documents/ScummVM Savegames), to /var/root/.scummvm on the iPhone.

I don't have a .scummvm file or directory in /var/root/ – or anywhere else I can find, either. But I definitely have save games. Where else might they be?

Thanks!

Edit: I found them!

/private/var/mobile/Library/ScummVM/Savegames/

*phew!*

as far as I remember, broken sword both needs some savegame index file (with the names of the savegames) and the individual savegame files. Have you tried moving all savegame files + accompanying index file (sorry, don't know the filename offhand) around or just the savegame itself?

Very handy, I was just looking for this myself. Thanks!

Could someone please add this to the wiki? I would but it doesn't look like I can create an account.
