Thank for working on this.  Unfortunately, this patch doesn't make any 
difference to the binary size of the DS port.  Since code stripping is 
enabled, I would imagine that this unused code data in these video 
decoders was already being stripped, so removing it from the source made 
no difference.

Do you have any other ideas about how I could reduce the memory usage in 
Inherit the Earth?

Is there any data which is loaded all the time which I could only load 
when needed?  Or any buffers that could be shrunk a little?  Something 
like this could possibly give me the extra RAM I need.

Thanks,
