Oh, I didn't realize that Myst and Riven were already semi-working in ScummVM in general, let alone on the mobile ports. Thanks for the heads up. This might be the least buggy way to play Riven on PC right now, from what I've seen so far.

Thanks for posting that, Eleri! Now I have a new reason to play with my Android tablet. I've got both Myst and Riven installed, and so far they work great. I had fears about Myst because it started with a black screen but with sound, but once the book landed it did fine.

Wh00t it actually works! That's so awesome!

However, I have one problem: when I save a game and try to load it gives me a debugging function, where typing exit should get me to the game, but it doesn't give me a keyboard to type with... Does anybody know how to fix that?

Thanks!

Narameh, i bumped into the same probem. And somting finally "tilt" in my memory. long press en "menu" to get the keybord.
Not that it helps, scummvm exits.

Edit : There is a bug, if you are in menu and try to load a myst game.
Bypass for this is to start a new game, then load the old one.

I have a crash in stoneship though When going up the stairs from the cabine.

The problem is that scummvm switched the buildbot to build test releases and they don't contain support for Myst or Riven.

Quote:

Currently build bot is only building testing builds for the upcoming release, since that does neither contain Myst nor Riven support you will have to wait till the release testing/preparations is over.

See scummvm forum post

Thanks for the workaround, works perfectly like this! A little trouble is well worth it . This scumm engine is quite perfect, also installed beneath a steel sky and day of the tentacle, and now have loads and loads of fun while taking the train to visit family everywhere .

Can Riven be done in the same way? I have a copy of Riven via Steam on my computer and it runs just fine, but I would like to take Riven everywhere!

I've installed these plugins and have followed all the steps, but when I navigate to the folder from scummVM on the device, and select the folder it tells me it cannot find the game. I am using Myst Masterpiece and have transfered all required files. Not sure what the issue is to be honest. I made sure to use the more recent plugins as quoted rather than the ones from the original post.

And with riven, are the steps the same?

EDIT: Just redid all the steps, including reinstalling all plugins and game files, both Riven and Myst give me the Game data not found error on my Droid 2, and my Xoom cannot find the games in the specified directory when I attempt to add them.

Use these two :

Scummvm apk

Mohawk plugin apk
http://www.zumodrive.com/share/cF9wY2QwNT

The stable version don't have myst support.
