Please provide some additional info:
- Which version of ScummVM are you testing with?
- Which version of Android?
- Does the same folder structure work when performing a "mass add" with the Windows (or Linux, Mac etc) ScummVM for these games?

The question is that Scumm detect and add z3, z5, zblorb but no glulx extensions.
I have installed a fresh copy from googleplay since my old version installed (just the same) didin't let me "go up" in the archive structure.

So, I use a Galaxy Tab A with 7.1.1 Android version, and 2.2.1.d version of Scumm

I have tryed moving files to some locations: internal memorie, sdcard, archieving files in a scumm named folder with no result.

That would be the issue. ScummVM 2.2 did not include support for Glulxe games. The next release will be the first one to officially support those games. So for now if you want to play then you will need a daily build version.

Thank you very much, I am a bit lost these days.
My interest in that Glulxe compatibility is the habilitie for making transcripts of the interpreter. I often do betatest and I need to create these transcript files.
There is no interpreter in Android that lends me to do these transcripts. Fabularium, Twisty, Text fiction...
In compatibility page I can read compatibility glulxe is good.

By default the compatibility page displays the list for the development version of ScummVM. You have a version selector toward the top of the page that you can use see support for specific releases. If you switch to the 2.2.0 version, you will see that glulxe is not listed :wink:
