ScummVM shortcuts?

Is there a way to create shortcuts for games within scummvm so i don't have to open scummvm every time i want to load a certain game?

Yes. You can create a shortcut to ScummVM.exe and then edit the properties of the shortcut, especially the target field. See the scummvm readme.txt for more info.

An example from the readme.txt: If you want to run Monkey Island 1, write something like this

"C:\Games\LucasArts\scummvm.exe -f -pC:\Games\LucasArts\monkey\ monkey"

to the "Target" field of the Shortcut -tab in the shortcut properties.

...Was this of any help?

You could also download ScummVM Quick and Easy. Once you've set up your game, click on the "create shortcut" button, and the program will set up a shortcut for you on your desktop.

You have one, right there in your avatar

for others all it takes is a picture editor and a screen grabber
