libretro Command-Line Options

You can pass the ScummVM command line parameters to the libretro core in a couple different ways...

Game ID Folders

Place the game data files inside a folder named by the game short name from ScummVM. The game IDs can be found in ScummVM's compatibility list.

Example for Day of the Tentacle

  1. Create a folder named "tentacle"
  2. Add the Day of the Tentacle datafiles to the folder
  • TENTACLE.000
  • TENTACLE.001
  • MONSTER.SOU

Launch retroarch by referencing one of the files in this directory:

retroarch -L scummvm_libretro.so "/myroms/tentacle/TENTACLE.000"

.scummvm Files

Creating a text file containing the commands and then using that file as a rom file for the core.

Example for Day of the Tentacle

  1. Add "Day of the Tentacle" to ScummVM using the built-in ScummVM GUI.
  2. Make note of the gameid (in this case "tentacle")
  3. Create a text file containing the game id

For example: "Day of the Tentacle.scummvm" --> inside the file is written a single line with the word "tentacle"

Launch retroarch with the scummvm core and with this text file as the rom:

retroarch -L scummvm_libretro.so "/myroms/Day of the Tentacle.scummvm"

The game will now launch directly instead of showing the ScummVM GUI. You can pass other ScummVM parameters in the text file besides the gameid.
