Hello,

I also don't know, what you are doing :-).

Could you please explain a little bit more in detail, what files are in that directory you mentioned? Files from a game? Files from scummvm? Files from more than one game? File from a game and from ScummVM? Files from more than one game and from Scummvm ....

Maybe you should tell us, what you did, what you wanted to reach and which problems occurred. Than I will try to tell you, what went wrong or what to do in order to solve the problems.

BTW: There are several howtos floating around (even in this forum), explaining, what to do in order to run several games. You could try to use the search function.

kind regards

ScummVM doesn't show any files, just the folder, and you have to select the folder CONTAINING ONLY *ONE* game at a time.

It is not supported (at least ATM) that you have more than *one* game in *one* folder.

Then press *choose* within the folder containing *one* game.
