Bug report

Possibly game list or option not stored........

Describe the bug

I have a Raspberry Pi2 whit latest build of OSMC...... i have tryed to load ScummVM and some LucasFilms Games...... example "Secret of Monkey Island".

I have lauch the addons....... reach the games patch (the games it's stored in a usb pendrive connected on pi2).
The games can run and playable whitout any issue.... there's present some issue on audio but it's not a big problems.

i have the same or similar issue.

i think i found the reason, why my games are gone all the time the add-on got an update...
the added games are not stored in the userdata folder.
the added games are stored in the file:
/storage/.kodi/addons/game.libretro.scummvm/resources/system/scummvm.ini
and this file gets overwritten by a blank/new version each time an update is arriving.

i installed Lakka (RetroArch)
Lakka-RPi2.arm-2.3.2.img.gz
ScummVM 2.1.0 (Jan 21 2020 15:31:37)
and there the specific file is in the folowing folder
/storage/system/scummvm.ini

i guess to survive a re-installation or update the scummvm.ini file sould be stored to (and loaded from) the userdata storage.

i don't know if Lakka will show a similar issue, when it updates the ScummVM core... but at least for Kodi-game / LibreELEC the add-on should store and expect the scummvm.ini file at a place where is isn't touched or wiped out by an update or re-install process

[beta-tester]

strange... it is not the same issue.

i just installed OSMC and tried its ScummVM add-on.
indeed there it is not possible to keep the added games in the list. the list is gone immediately i exit the scummvm add-on.

on LibreELEC the ScummVM add-on is holding the added games but are loosing the list only at an update or re-install of the add-on.

[beta-tester]

it seems on OSMC there is no scummvm.ini stored at all. i couldn't find any...

You can also read some feedback here:
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=343489&pid=2939639

Apparently another user as report it's be works on Vero 4K+ (same developers OSMC) and you can also found the correct path how the scummvm.ini need.

Also on my apparently there's no stored......... after my last reply i never tryed whit the latest osmc release.
