[Scummvm-devel] NDS black screen

[James 'Ender' Brown]

FWIW, I've noticed desmume to be slightly more tolerant of memory 
over-usage than the real hardware is.

Back when I was playing with the NDS port myself, I often got a black 
screen instead of the launcher because
an engine tried to allocate more memory than was available when its 
GameDetector was called.

May bear no relation to this problem, I just felt like posting :)
