 Games supported
 ---------------
 	The Symbian port of ScummVM supports all games. Some games might not run properly due to screenresolution or memory constraints.
-	Minimum free memory requirement is about 12MB to be able to start and run ScummVM, this is enough for most older games, but newer more resource hungry games, might require more.

-	zlib: the zlib-x.x.x.tar.gz does not come with UIQ .mpp build files, that's why
