The N73 (or any mobile phone that I know of) doesn't have a high enough screen resolution for playing the Broken Sword games, and thus it is not supported for the Symbian ScummVM.

Check here for a Symbian compatability chart:

I was dissapointed too, as the only reason I bought my N73(my first Symbiam phone) was to play the BS games on it. That's what i get for not doing my research properly first.

Anyway there are so many other fantastic games that, I have not played for years, availble that it doesn't matter too much.

I just hope that the screen resolution on a mobile phone will soon be high enough that the BS games can be scaled to it.

Or that the performance is enough. I guess, in a scaled down version.. the screen of 800x352 on a E90 .. could be made running 640x480 quite nicely. :-) Just have to play around with the resolution..



So thats the phone to gear up to. It has the speed and resolution

Its possible to build the game for Symbian, its just a matter of running it, I think another testbuild might be in order. :-)
