Need help with ScummVM DS

Hey, everyone. I'm following the instructions - correctly, I think - and I can start ScummVM DS fine, but then it acts as though there are no games. It always says "no games found" or something to that effect. It doesn't matter whether I drop things in a folder or in the root.

So just to make sure, this is what I've been doing -

I zip the game up with Winzip (compression: none), run it through builddata.bat, rename the file to scummvm.ds.nds, drop it in the CF card and run it.

I've tried different games. Am I supposed to zip the files as they are installed on the computer and ready to run?

DS is flashed (v7.0). Is scummvm.ds.nds supposed to be the only file needed in the CF? From what I gather, it should contain both ScummVM and the game files embedded, right?

Thanks everyone!

I havnt done it in a while, but with the latest version of ScummVM DS you no longer need to zip up the files.  You can put them in a folder on the CF card... Then you can add the games from within the program.   I think it will create a ScummVM.ini file in the root of your CF.  This is from memory, but I think it should work.
