ScummVM

How it's built, patched and set up for its played test; it runs on the ScummVM engine. The numbers are under Test runs.

Lure of the Temptress runs on ScummVM with the free release Debian packages, installed by Walnut Games; the menu entry starts its English version directly, fullscreen with the picture between bars (German, French, Italian and Spanish are in the same package). It was started once on the PS3 in a smoke test. Nobody has played a session of it on Walnut yet.

Status

Untested: nobody has played a session of it on Walnut yet. Runs on ScummVM (the engine, Debian’s package).

Smoke run 2026-10-20 (ps3-bench-20261020T093324Z-smoke-scummvm-lure, ScummVM 2026.1.0): “Running Lure of the Temptress (VGA/DOS/English)”, the sound running; no screenshots in that run. The package holds the English, German, French, Italian and Spanish versions, each in its own folder; the launcher starts the English one (Debian’s lure wrapper picks by locale).

How it is set up

  • Data: Debian’s lure-of-the-temptress, installed with ScummVM by Walnut Games, in /usr/share/scummvm/lure-of-the-temptress/en.
  • Launcher (desktop/launchers): scummvm -c ~/.config/scummvm/walnut/lure.ini -i /usr/share/ps3-games/scummvm/lure.ini -p /usr/share/scummvm/lure-of-the-temptress/en lure through ps3-game, shown once the data is installed (X-Walnut-Requires=); the package’s own menu entry is diverted (the engine’s notes).
  • Settings: the initial config lure.ini; the player’s settings then live in ~/.config/scummvm/walnut/lure.ini, the saves in ~/.local/share/scummvm/saves/lure.* (set aside by a played session: rating/test.toml).
