A question. Do this same game data get recognised on your desktop?

comment:2 by SF/youngbilly, 5 years ago

Hi - yes, it works fine. The GOG version starts DOSBOX. I've tried clean installs of the game and recopying the GOG unpacked game folder a few times, plus the last couple of days of ScummVM builds. Same result.

Apologies if I misunderstood - the game works with daily build for Windows on my PC but not with the ARM build on my mobile. Same game folder.

OK - LordHoto on the forum says 'the Android daily build does not include ZVision. It is missing the FreeType2 dependency which is (set as) required for ZVision.'

Owner: set to fuzzie
Summary: Zork Nemesis on android - no game found → ZVISION Cannot be compiled on Android - FreeType2 isn't available

So, the actual issue is that FreeType2 isn't available on the Android port. Assigning this to fuzzie

Owner: changed from fuzzie to csnover

This is not a ScummVM defect but a limitation of the old build system which will be addressed with the new Buildbot, which includes a FreeType library for Android.

Component: Engine: ZVision → Port: Android

FreeType is now installed on the Buildbot for both ARMv5 and AArch64, as mentioned in ​https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/1278. It's still missing on x86 and Ouya, though.
