AFAIK many recent Windows games are using %APPDATA% for their config files too. Back in the old days, the scummvm.ini file on Windows was in "C:\Windows", so this is definitely an advantage, since %APPDATA% allows multiple users to have their own ScummVM config file. We can't help that, but AFAIK Microsoft even suggests to use %APPDATA% for that usage case. (This *is* messy, since a user could create a shortcut, which executes ScummVM in another directory).Īs I said the ScummVM config file is inside %APPDATA% that path seems to change on different Windows versions too. As I pointed out the default save path for ScummVM on Windows should be ".", thus the dir were you execute ScummVM in. Now since ScummVM is placed in "C:\Program Files (x86)", Windows uses this path you described instead of placing the files inside "C:\Program Files (x86)". Thus they create a fake path, were all data written to "C:\Program Files (x86)" is placed in. Well Windows is using this since "C:\Program Files (x86)" isn't writable on Vista, at least not without admin rights. It would probably reduce the help requests here at least.īobdevis wrote:- For WinVista 64bit and the current ScummVM SVN (first time install) It might be a good idea to think about switching to a system where the savegames and the config file are both in the same dir, so you only have to worry about one path per platform.
SCUMMVM SAVE GAME HOW TO
I have no idea where the config file is or how to look for it. Savegames are in /users//Documents/ScummVM Savegames For OSX 10.4 and the current ScummVM SVN (first time install) The savegames went to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\ScummVM The config ini went to C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\ScummVM For WinVista 64bit and the current ScummVM SVN (first time install) For Linux and the June 30th ScummVM SVN (have been using this one for half a year or so) The config ini goes to C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\ScummVM
SCUMMVM SAVE GAME INSTALL
Savegames go to to C:\Program Files\ScummVM (the install dir) For WinXP and the current ScummVM SVN (first time install)
