intent's a nifty embedded operating system designed for things like 
smartphones, set top boxes, etc. Its main claim to fame is that compiled 
binaries are completely portable --- they'll run on anything that runs 
intent, regardless of processor type.

In terms of hardware, it all depends. The slowest device I've seen running 
intent was a 12MHz ARM, and the fastest is a 1.4GHz Athlon. The device I 
actually have on my desk is a medium-range MIPS.

What sort of processing power does ScummVM need?

I'll have a look.
