Yes, I agreee it is a bad hack, but unfortunately it's the only way Simon the Sorcerer will run on the DS.  Without the hack, the game crashes during the intro, which in my opinion is much worse than missing out a speech sample every now and then.  It's too late to write streaming code for this now, so I would ask that you let me add the hack back in just for the DS port?

Oh yeah, so you did.  I thought I was going mad!  Seems to work great now, thanks.
