Here are a few Frequently Asked Questions for our [[SymbianOS]] builds, if your question is unanswered feel free to ask them on the [http://forums.scummvm.org/viewforum.php?f=7 Forums], but please try to be as specific as possible by listing the phone type, model, brand, ScummVM build & the describe the situation of the problem.

I own a Psion 5MX. Is a port to this old platform considered? Or did the architecture change too much between Epoc32 and S60?

Because of a new automatic build script we can now make a great number of specific builds for each phone type. We have decided to make versions of ScummVM with only one engine compiled in, so there is more memory left to run the game(s). These special versions can be found on the [http://anotherguest.b0.se/cvsbuilds/ cvsbuilds] page. If you keep having problems you can give one of these versions a try. Be advised that you can only play the game(s) that go with that specific [[Engines|engine]]! You can install these new versions over the old ScummVM versions, just choose 'Replace' during the installation process. Your configuration file will not be overwritten.

Shrink displays the game on your screen but in a shrinked way, either in Portrait or Landscape mode, so not all the pixels can be seen.

Zoom mode uses the maximum resolution of your phone displaying a smaller part of the game zoomed at 1:1 pixels.

For scrolling in Zoom mode: '''0'''+Cursor keys to scroll around, '''0'''+Ok button to center view. Upscale tries to fill the larger screens on S80/S90 devices in a better way for low resolution games. Currently it uses a pixel interpolation upscaling routine.

Try leaving the application by pressing the App button. Then press and hold the App button and switch back to ScummVM and see if it helps. Multikeypress is a known problem on S60 devices. So sometimes it is reset to no multiple keypresses and then the system key won't work.
