I think I asked this already in the past on a tracker item, but for the 
sake of the other people on scummvm-devel: would you please give us a 
brief status update on the memory issue on the DC? Is the COMI intro 
now working fully? IIRC, memory is better now, but the CD speed (or 
rather, seeking times?) still pose a major obstacle. Is that correct? 
Or if memory is still lacking, can you estimate how much?

Maybe disabling the whole HE code for the DC builds would help. It 
should be possible to add a ENABLE_HE_GAMES (or so) #define to control 
that...
