CoinOPS ScummVM pack

Intro

With CoinOPS 5 ScummVM appeared as a supported platform, but that was as far as it got. Since 7 may be the last release of CoinOPS on xbox I had a the simple idea that we could finally get ScummVM included if only by launching it as a piece of Xbox Homebrew.

This was added to the supported list for R3, which you will need (or above version) to run this pack.



Instructions

This is set up in a similar way to the homebrew pack. I've set it up so that it mimics the layout of a typical F drive. If you don't use an F drive you'll need to realign as appropriate and make a new xbe shortcut as required.

Make sure to review the directory structure before copying over.

I have a folder for CoinOPS 7 R3 in the Emulators folders. You may wish to rename this to your CoinOPS folder (has to be v7r3 or above) or copy the files in as appropriate.

The games should show up when you start SCUMMVM. If they do not then you can add them from the games subfolder. The storage of the games is held in scummvm.ini To run a game select it and choose run game.

When you quit ScummVM you will be sent to the dashboard.

There are more instructions for ScummVM in the readme file within the ScummVM folder.

Graphics Filters

I like the TV filter - makes it look like an old pc crt monitor. There's a whole bunch of filters you can choose in the settings.

Games


I went through the compatibility list for this release and found and tested every game. I have removed games that did not work, or that did not have their copy protection removed. That still leaves 67 games. Note that even the best emulated game is only 95% compatible, so you may find bugs, you can find out the level of compatibility for each game here: http://scummvm.org/compatibility/1.4.0/
