Hacking [RELEASE] ScummVM

[rsn8887]

I agree and put up a new version. Now front touch is always in direct touch mode (too confusing otherwise), and the rear pad can be enabled with the option "Touchpad mouse mode". Even when the option is enabled, the front panel remains in direct touch mode.

Just installed and working great

The only (minor) issue/improvement I can think of is the quit button on the main menu crashing the vita. The in-game quit option from the 'start' menu works fine, as does closing via the PS button. Maybe it's just me? Most odd.

Just tested on my pstv (official vita mem card) and it closes the app fine.
On the vita 2000 with sd2vita I can play games for hours and quit using the in-game menu option, but it always crashes using the button on the main menu. Chkdisk didn't find any issues with the microsd.

Do you have a donation link rsn8887? I really appreciate all your effort in making this the ultimate portable scummvm version.

I will look into it over the weekend.

Well the closest I have is I made a blank patreon page with no rewards... donation is then equivalent to "become a patreon, wait a month, remember to cancel after first payment is deducted"

That works, I already have the rewards

Thanks!

I cannot seem to reproduce the "crash on quit" on my system.

It could be related to your scummvm.ini file. If you have some time, could you move your scummvm.ini to a different folder to test ScummVM again? ScummVM will generate a new ini on start. After testing, you can just copy your old file over again.

New release, I fixed some more inaccuracies with front touch on Vita in some graphics modes. Sometimes the pointer was slightly to the right of the finger. This should now be fixed. If anyone experiences wrong pointer motion with touch after switching graphics option (e.g. toggle fullscreen), a reboot might also fix that.

## Recent changes:

- (Vita) improved direct touch accuracy in all screen modes. Before this, sometimes the mouse cursor was slightly besides the finger in some graphics modes when using front touch. This should now be fixed.

- (Vita) Always use direct touch on front touch panel. Enabling the option "touchpad mouse mode" enables rear touch with relative touch mode, but the front panel always stays in direct touch mode. Thanks to ScHlAuChi and Csnover for help and suggestions regarding usability of touch features.

Moving ux0:data/scummvm/scummvm.ini to another folder resolved the crash!
I've got to head out for a while, will install the latest version set the games up again fresh when I get home. Thanks for the suggestion!

New update now with 2 finger drag'n'drop:

https://www.github.com/rsn8887/scummvm/releases

More information about controls, including touch controls, is here:
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/PlayStation_Vita

Recent changes:

• (Vita) Add 2-finger drag-and-drop touch motion. This is useful for example in FT to bring up the action menu, or to scroll through the game list in the menu using the scroll bar. It works in the following way: holding down two fingers for a while initiates a drag'n'drop where the left mouse button is being held down. The first finger affects mouse motion during the drag, the second finger can be removed without affecting the drag. When the last finger is removed, the left mouse button is released and the drag is over. Note the second finger can be anywhere, it doesn't have to be close to the first finger. Typical usage of dual finger drag and drop in FT: Hold down one finger over an object. Then hold down a second finger somewhere on the screen for a little bit to initiate a dual finger drag. This brings up the action menu. Now let go of the second finger. The dual-finger drag continues since one finger is still down. Select an action with the first finger and let go of the first finger to end the drag.

Already updated again to fix the jumping touch cursor on right click (introduced in .13 release an hour ago),

@rsn8887 did you tried game "Prince and Coward" with your build? With officiall build game is detected (on pc, vita, ps3) but with your build i can't make it detect


Edit

With officiall build can't run this game also Butit works with older build (from ~half year ago).

 

[isoboy]

I wonder if King's Quest 7 works. To the googlemobile.

The daily buildbot includes experimental “unstable” games. My build does not. They are unfinished and cause crashes etc. however some of them are pretty close to completion.

The game you mention is “not yet supported:”
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/The_Prince_and_the_Coward

Here is a list of currently unstable engines:
Lord Avalot d'Argent
Blade Runner
Chewy: Esc from F5
Lost Eden
Macromedia Director
Dungeon Master
Groovie [Groovie 2 games]
The Last Express
MacVenture
Mohawk [Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?]
The Prince and The Coward
SAGA [SAGA 2 games]
Sludge
Mission Supernova
WAGE
World of Xeen

A list of stable games is here:
http://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/

Good point though, I might enable unstable engines in the next build too, since they are enabled in the buildbot also, and it is a dev build anyways. But keep in mind they are unstable and will mostly crash.

Prince and coward is playable from start to the end in dev build

Ok my next "lipsync" release will enable the unstable engines then. Thanks for notifying.

https://github.com/rsn8887/scummvm/releases/latest

(or on VitaDB)

Changelog

• make touch mouse clicks longer so all games receive them. Some games such as Gobliins or Dreamweb did not react to the simulated touch mouse clicks because the clicks were too short. This change ensures all games see the simulated clicks by giving each click a minimum duration of 50 ms instead of being as fast as possible.
  
  
• re-compiled with latest changes from git repository

Is there an option to add games from directories other than ux0, like uma0?
Thanks for this port all the same though, getting to play some of these games again on the go is a real treat.
