The main ScummVM window is called the Launcher. The Launcher opens whenever you start ScummVM, unless you launch a game directly from the command line.
The pane on the left lists the games you have added to ScummVM. This list usually offers some additional information about each game, such as original platform and language. To highlight any game on the list, type the first letter(s) of its title, or click on it.
The quick search input is located at the top of the page next to the magnifying glass icon. The filter is applied as you type, and is not case sensitive. To clear the filter, select the **X** button next to the input box.
There are many ways to filter games. For instance, you can type "Monkey Island" to quickly locate all "Monkey Island" games on the list, or you can type "German" if you wish to play a game in German.
There are two views: list view and tile view. Toggle between the two by clicking the list and tile icons at the bottom left of the window.
In list view, the pane on the left displays a list of your saved states. Click on a saved state to highlight it. On the right, information about the highlighted state such as timestamps, screenshots and playtime is displayed.
In tile view, each tile shows a screenshot of the saved state, as well as the description and save slot number. Click on the tile to load that saved state.
On some platforms, the Add Game button opens the default system dialog to allow you to choose the folder containing the game files. On other platforms, the custom ScummVM file browser opens. Use this file browser to locate the folder containing the game you wish to add. Double click on a folder to open it, and use **Go up** to go back up one level.
Opens the game settings window. This window also opens whenever a game is added from the Launcher.
Use this window to configure a game individually by overriding the default global game settings you have set via the **Options** window. You can also change the game's language and original platform, if applicable. For more information, see the :doc:`game_settings` page.
Opens the global settings window. Use this window to define global game settings, as well as change a number of the ScummVM Launcher settings. For more details on how to fine-tune ScummVM, see the :doc:`global_settings` page.
The Global Main Menu (GMM) is available while playing any game by pressing :kbd:`Ctrl` + :kbd:`F5`, or :kbd:`Ctrl` + :kbd:`fn` + :kbd:`F5` on a Mac. It provides the following options:
In some games you can still access the original game menu by using :kbd:`Alt` + :kbd:`F5`. You can save and load games this way, however it is not intended for this purpose and may crash ScummVM in some games.
