== How to install ScummVM == | |||
There are currently no installation software available for ScummVM, so you will have to manually install the files and games onto your device. If your device has support for memory cards, you should really use one of those as games can be up to 1 GB uncompressed. Either use a memory card reader or sync your device using ActiveSync to transfer your files. Linux users should check out [http://www.synce.org/moin/ SynCE] and Mac OS users [http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.php The Missing Sync] for all their syncing needs. | |||
