ScummVM 2.0.0 on Raspberry Pi

Hello,

I have been trying it today on Risc OS on the Pi3, and it returns to desktop immediately, all I can see is a black window very briefly.
It’s the official version available here:

http://scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/2.0.0/scummvm-2.0.0-riscos.zip

Does it work for you guys?

PatchSwp could help:

If not, the now free Aemulor will:

PatchSWP will not help (no SWP instructions found)
Aemulor won’t too (wimpslot too small)

But the good point is that here it works…
Pi3+RC15+latest version of drenderer

So thanks :)

Can you check the contents of <Choices$Write>.ScummVM.stdout, <Choices$Write>.ScummVM.stderr and (if it exists) <Choices$Write>.ScummVM.Logs.scummvm?

@Cameron Cawley: These files where all empty, but now it’s working after I installed a fresh Risc OS ROM from RC15 image (sadly that made ADFFS stop working) and a fresh CMOS file.

However, I can’t quit ScummVM properly, I get a black screen of death with a blinking cursor and not the desktop. Any idea on what could be causing this?
Also, are you the person who did this Risc OS port?

Not returning from fullscreen properly seems to be a common issue with SDL-based programs. I’ll see what I can do about this. In the meantime, you’ll have to make do with running ScummVM in windowed mode.

Also, yes, I did the RISC OS port.

@Cameron Cawley: Thanks for this fantastic port then!
I do the Raspbian packaging and wrote the dispmanx backend ScummVM used briefly before it went SDL2 and it became unnecesary.

I suppose your por works on SDL1, with the executable statically linked against it, doesn’t it?
There’s a LOT of tearing in your port and I would love to see it gone, as it’s gone in SDL2 on most drivers.
Do you use a generic SDL1 code to draw to screen and refresh or do you use a custom graphics backend for Risc OS?

A rather late reply, but I managed to fix returning from full-screen with SDL applications. The fix is available from a recent SDL 1.2 Mercurial checkout (specifically this commit ).

Cameron, nice work! Do you have a version of ScummVM updated with your SDL fix?

Cameron: Could you PLEASE also look into waiting for vsync on SDL 1.2 on Risc OS? Scummvm would benefit A LOT from tear-less screen updates. I am sure it’s trivial, because vsync waiting is available on other Risc OS programs, like ADFFS.

Also, what Andrew said: An Scummvm version with your fix would be great!

Pay attention that for vsync to work correctly on machines like the Pi (fake vsync) triple buffering is required.
