ScummVM 2.1.0git
Hi all,

I've been making improvements to ScummVM for the past few weeks so it runs better on the Steam Link. I believe it's now good enough to publish a test build.

This is not an official ScummVM port, issues should be reported in this thread.

Installation
Download the Steam Link package[dl.bintray.com].

Put 'scummvm.tgz' in the 'steamlink\apps' folder of an usb drive. Plug the usb drive and power cycle the Steam Link. This will install ScummVM into the internal memory. The main Steam Link screen should now have a ScummVM icon that can be used to launch the app.

Be sure to remove 'scummvm.tgz' from the usb drive so it is not reinstalled on each reboot, overwriting your configuration.

Usage
The Steam Link has very little available internal storage space. I recommend keeping the games you want to play using ScummVM on an usb drive. You can make the usb drive contents visible to ScummVM using one of these approaches:
- Init script: https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/1/343787920122841325/
- Native app: https://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/1/152393186490496699/

Refer to the manual for help with ScummVM itself: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/User_Manual/Quick_Start

When using a controller, button mapping is as follows:
Left stick => Mouse
Right shoulder + Left stick => Slow Mouse
A => Left mouse button
B => Right mouse button
DPad => Cursor Keys (useful for character motion)
Right shoulder + DPad => Diagonal Cursor Keys
Left shoulder => Game menu (F5)
Right shoulder => Shift (used to enable Mass Add in menu)
X => Period '.' (used to skip dialog lines)
Right shoulder + X => Space ' '
Y => Escape (used to skip cutscenes)
Right shoulder + Y => Return
Start => ScummVM's global in-game menu
Select => Toggle virtual keyboard
Right shoulder + Select => AGI predictive input dialog

Notes
The Steam Link is not powerful enough to use the graphics filters offered by ScummVM. Only the OpenGL mode works well (default).

This version was build from this branch: https://github.com/bgK/scummvm/tree/steamlink
This toolchain was used: https://github.com/bgK/scummvm-docker/tree/steamlink/workers/steamlink
