==About ScummVM for the GP32==
==About ScummVM for the GP32==


ScummVM for the GP32 is an official platform, but no build was ever made for the platform.  The platform was made an official platform for the ScummVM 0.9.1 release, and the sourcecode for the platform is available in that release. The port is currently unmaintained.
ScummVM for the GP32 was added to the main repository as an official platform for the ScummVM 0.9.1 release. It was later removed before an official build was ever made for the platform, but the sourcecode is available in that release. The port is currently unmaintained.


The port of ScummVM to the GP32 is limited as the GP32 has only 8MB of RAM.  In order to make best use of the limited resources on the GP32 ScummVM uses a totally custom backend for the platform (not the more common SDL approach).
