ROCKNIX builds tag v2026.1.0 with --enable-vkeybd and --opengl-mode=auto, or without OpenGL on SM8550 and SM8650 (ROCKNIX projects/ROCKNIX/packages/emulators/standalone/scummvm-sa/package.mk:5-28). AmberELEC builds commit 58f8f792 with --opengl-mode=gles2, turns the monkey4 engine on and deletes residualvm.zip and scummclassic.zip after installing (AmberELEC packages/games/emulators/scummvmsa/package.mk:11-62). The hashes below are those of the files at the pinned commit. Paths below are relative to the data directory named in data_root. OSystem_SDL::addSysArchivesToSearchSet adds DATA_PATH, four levels deep, then the current directory (backends/platform/sdl/sdl.cpp:649-663). The Windows build reads the same files from resources compiled into the executable (backends/platform/sdl/win32/win32.cpp:519-523). An extrapath set in scummvm.ini is added before them, and the game directory is searched for the running game (base/main.cpp:280-296). Every file is opened by name through this search set. make install copies DIST_FILES_THEMES, DIST_FILES_NETWORKING, DIST_FILES_VKEYBD, DIST_FILES_ENGINEDATA, DIST_FILES_ENGINEDATA_BIG and DIST_FILES_SOUNDFONTS to datadir, and the engine GLSL shaders to datadir/shaders when the build keeps USE_OPENGL_SHADERS (ports.mk:13-26, Makefile.common:400-471). The engine data list follows the engines configure enables, those marked yes in their configure.engine for a release build. cryo.dat belongs to an engine that is off by default. The shaders are read by the OpenGL renderers of the 3D engines and are not listed one by one. The MT-32 emulator reads the CM-32L pair first, then the MT-32 pair (audio/softsynth/mt32.cpp:286-301). ScummVM does not ship them. Without them MT-32 music is not available. ROCKNIX copies gui/themes to /usr/config/scummvm/themes and passes --themepath=/usr/config/scummvm/themes (ROCKNIX projects/ROCKNIX/packages/emulators/standalone/scummvm-sa/package.mk:40-41, ROCKNIX projects/ROCKNIX/packages/emulators/standalone/scummvm-sa/scripts/start_scummvm.sh:70). An engine data file marked required is one whose engine refuses to start a game without it.
