I can see a flashing curson on the top left hand side of the screen. But I'm unable to movie it with any of the keys. Any suggestions? Thanks

You may accidentally have changed the input mode. Hit 0+1, and try again (you might have to do it a couple of times, as it seems that there are 3 different modes). You should see a small icon indicating the changing input at the bottom right corner of the screen.

the initial file eventually installed in 2 my phone...i dont no how i think its a problem with my firmware

but now im stuck

ive installed the scummvm-060611-SymbianS60v3_all in to my memmroy card now how do i install the games because it ends up having the same file name and replaces scummvm-060611-SymbianS60v3_all??

what am i doin wrong

Just create a folder for the game on the memory card and copy the game files there. Game files are NOT .sis files.

hmm thx will try that but do i need 2 install scummvm-060611-SymbianS60v3_all in the PHONES MEMMORY not memmory card coz i just read that on the sites forums

got it playin flight of the amazon queen now..thx

That's rather odd, as mine is happily running from my memory card.

No problem 😊.

yeh mine is also running from memmory card...thx man but wat other games can i get i mean ive got beneath the steel sky and flight of the amazon queen i want summin like sam and max

where can i download em tho although it says those 2 that i have are only available free...so say if i download the original of one of the compatible games and stik it in my pc will it work

Makkara wrote:You can download Beneath a Steel Sky at http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php I haven't tried it for myself, but I suppose you'll need the following files:
Beneath a Steel Sky, SKY.CPT - required to run the game with a post-0.7.* ScummVM (416k)
Beneath a Steel Sky, Freeware Floppy Version (7.3M)

Alternatively you may download the CD version, but it takes a bunch of space.

Unlike Beneath a Steel Sky, most old games, eg. Monkey Islands, are not freeware. To play them, you'll have to buy them.

I downloaded both they files,and stored them in a games folder on the memory card,But the Scumm cant find them,any ideas where im going wrong?

if you are searching individual drives or just memmory card then it wont work do this..open scumm..go to paths...then click on autoscan and it should pick it up. i had the same problem and it worked

Nice 1 i got flight of the amazon to upload,Now to try and figure out the controls..My game is only appearing in the top right of the screen,is that as big as the game gets?

From Makkara's link i downloaded this link

Beneath a Steel Sky, SKY.CPT - required to run the game with a post-0.7.* ScummVM (416k

which is the 1st one,i downloaded it and stored it in the same folder as the flight of the amazon game,but Scumm is only finding the Flight game and not the steal:icon13: :frown:

ok m8 1 at a time basically

to fix the screen resolution play about with these

"'0'+'2' Change screen mode
'0'+'3' Flip the screen
'0'+'1' Change input mode.
'0'+'4' To stretch the screen"

just like if u dont understand em just hit em randomly and u will eventually get a perfect fullscreen (make sure its vertical)

second answer is seperate the games in 2 seperate files so for the steel sky in that folder place all the 3 files from the zip folder and then the other 412kb file 2 overwrite the 1 in the file aswell then do the same search as last time.

That file is not the game itself. It's just a file required to run the game. You can download the game from the same website, though.
