PrerequisitesA 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 ... _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.
InstallingFrom 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 gamesThe user manual describes how to add games to ScummVM and launch them :
