To quote: ScummVM on PS3:

Prerequisites

• A homebrew enabled PlayStation 3 console. As of now that mostly means having a custom firmware installed. Obtaining and installing such a software is out of the scope of this document. Sorry, but you’re on your own for that one.
  
  
• At least one ScummVM supported game. The list of compatible games can be seen here: http://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/
  
• The page http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Where_to_get_the_games references some places where those games can be bought. Demonstration versions for most of the supported games are downloadable on http://scummvm.org/demos/
  
• An USB drive.
  

Installing

• From a computer, download the installable package of the PS3 port from ScummVM’s main site. It should be a .pkg file. Copy it to an USB drive.
  
• After having plugged the USB drive to you PS3, the installation package should appear in the XMB under the “Games > Install Package” menu. Installing it copies ScummVM and its dependencies to your PS3′s hard drive. It also adds the “Games > PlayStation 3 > ScummVM” XMB entry which is to be used to launch ScummVM.
  

Configuring and playing games

• The user manual describes how to add games to ScummVM and launch them : http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/User_Manual
  

PlayStation 3 Specifics

• Games can be launched either from an USB drive or from the internal hard drive. The internal hard drive has better performance though.
  
• Savegames are wrote in the /hdd0/game/SCUM12000/saves folder.
  
• Left stick => Mouse
  
• Cross => Left mouse button
  
• Circle => Right mouse button
  
• Triangle => Game menu (F5)
  
• Square => Escape
  
• Start => ScummVM’s in global game menu
  
• Select => Toggle virtual keyboard
  
• L1 => AGI predictive input dialog
  

Disclaimer

• Unauthorized distribution of an installable package with non freeware games included is a violation of the copyright law and is as such forbidden.
  

Building from source

• This port of ScummVM to the PS3 is based on SDL. It uses the open source SDK PSL1GHT.
  
• The dependencies needed to build it are :
  
• The toolchain from https://github.com/ps3dev/ps3toolchain
  
• SDL from https://github.com/zeldin/SDL_PSL1GHT
  
• ScummVM from https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm
  

Once all the dependencies are correctly setup, an installable package can be obtained from source by issuing the following command :

./configure –host=ps3 && make ps3pkg
