Quick Walkthrough for the "Broken Sword Black Screen SymbianOS puzzle" (BSBSS)

- check the sticky post in the SymbianOS forum
- you will learn that there are FAQs/Compatibility charts
- equipped with this knowledge follow the link to the compatibility chart
- you will find a page with links to different SymbianOS versions
- you will have to decide for yourself what you want to read at this point; if one link does not give you the right answer, just go back and try another
- you will eventually come across a compatibility chart for your device
- comparing the engine table with the enclosed color codes you will find that Broken Sword does not run on SymbianOS due to "resolution"

congratulations, you solved it!

yeah, since broken sword doesn't seem to be supported under the SymbianOS port at all

not sure if it's possible to run a 640x480 game on a 240 x 320 pixel screen by now too (are there any higher res symbianOS based devices?)
