Comment (by ccawley2011):

 FWIW, I have tested the modification I mentioned, and it does help with
 avoiding crashes on the DS - without it, the game will consistently crash
 around the time you first meet Maureen, just before the dialogue tree
 starts. With it, it's possible to progress further in the game past that
 point.

 I suspect a big part of the issue is that other things in both the engine
 and ScummVM core code are likely to allocate memory outside of the
 resource manager's heap, whereas the original (which apparently had 8 MB
 as a minimum total requirement according to MobyGames) would have been
 more likely to use the larger heap exclusively. I haven't looked into the
 original in any detail, though.
