Known issues
Plugin files are not interchangeable between ScummVM versions. You must copy all the plugin files found in the
/PSP/GAME/scummvm/plugin/
folder for every new version you install. If ScummVM crashes on startup, delete the existing plugin files in the plugin directory and copy the new ones again.If the virtual keyboard does not show up on the screen, ensure the
kbd.zip
file is in thescummvm
folder.
