There are two types of devices you can run the Windows CE ARM port of ScummVM with. One type being [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_pc Pocket PC] and features a touch sensitive screen, which is ideal to play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-and-click point-and-click] games on. The other type being [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone Smartphone], which is often refered to as a mobile phone with enhanced capabilities that ''usually'' doesn't have a touch screen. While some smartphones do have touch screens, the majority don't and you will have to play the games by steering the crosshair using the phones buttons. | There are two types of devices you can run the Windows CE ARM port of ScummVM with.

ScummVM currently supports all Windows CE versions from 3.00 (Pocket PC 2002) and up with the ARM architecture. This includes the vast majority of Windows Mobile devices out there, with the exception that they should have enough free [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM RAM] for both the executable binary and game data to run. Some Pocket PC 2000 (WinCE version 2.00) | ScummVM currently supports all Windows CE versions from 3.00 (Pocket PC 2002) and up with the ARM architecture.

Some Pocket PC 2000 (WinCE version 2.00) devices are reported to work, although this has yet to be officially confirmed. | ||
The codebase can support all types of CPUs and WinCE versions down to 2.00, but there's currently no official builds for e.g. devices using older [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture ARM] processors (Handheld PCs, Palm Size PCs) and others such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture MIPS] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperH SH] architectures. If your device uses any of these architectures you will have to download an outdated build from [http://scummvm.org/downloads.php#older the download page]. And if you've got the programming know-hows, feel free to [mailto:jubanka_at_scummvm_dot_org?subject:ScummVM contribute] with a more up to date build. | The codebase can support all types of CPUs and WinCE versions down to 2.00, but there's currently no official builds for e.g. devices using older [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture ARM] processors (Handheld PCs, Palm Size PCs) and others such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture MIPS] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperH SH] architectures.
