=============================
RISC OS
=============================
This page contains all the information you need to get ScummVM up and running on the RISC OS operating system.
What you'll need
===================
- A system running RISC OS 5.
- A minimum of 64 MB RAM. 32 MB may work in some circumstances, but is not generally recommended.
- The `SharedUnixLibrary <https://www.riscos.info/index.php/SharedUnixLibrary>`_ and `DRenderer <https://www.riscos.info/packages/LibraryDetails.html#DRendererarm>`_ modules installed. These can be installed using `PackMan <https://www.riscos.info/index.php/PackMan>`_.
Installing ScummVM
======================================
Download the RISC OS package from the `ScummVM Downloads page <https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/>`_.
Use a tool such as SparkFS to extract the archive. It is important that the archive is not extracted on any other system, because this results in a loss of file type information. ScummVM requires the file type information to run properly.
Transferring game files
=======================
Copy data files directly from the original discs on machines that have CD and/or floppy drives, or use a USB drive to transfer the files from another system.
See :doc:`../use_scummvm/game_files` for more information about game file requirements.
Controls
=================
Controls can be manually configured in the :doc:`Keymaps tab <../settings/keymaps>`. See the :doc:`../use_scummvm/keyboard_shortcuts` page for common default keyboard shortcuts.
Paths
=======
Saved games
*******************
``<Choices$Write>.ScummVM.Saves``
Configuration file
**************************
``<Choices$Write>.ScummVM.scummvmrc``
The ``<Choices$Write>`` environment variable is usually ``$.!Boot.Choices``.
Settings
==========
For more information about settings, see the Settings section of the documentation. Only platform-specific differences are listed here.
.. _reporter:
There is one additional configuration option, *enable_reporter*. When set to true in :doc:`../advanced_topics/configuration_file`, log messages are sent to the `!Reporter <http://www.avisoft.force9.co.uk/Reporter.htm>`_ application. This is useful mostly for developers.
Known issues
==============
- ScummVM for RISC OS does not have cloud or LAN functionality.
- FluidSynth is not supported.
- ScummVM is not compatible with RISC OS 3, 4 or 6.
