Description
Using the latest stable 0.10.0 release of the Symbian UIQ3 version of ScummVM on a SonyEricsson W950i.
Tested with the freeware one-file talkie version found on the ScummVM site.
The problem is the same as in my other, AGOS-based, report - upon launching the game from the menu, the screen goes black (which is normal behaviour), but it doesn't change out of it regardless of how long I wait (the longest managed so far was 10 minutes, though I'm willing to wait more). It apparently loads up the phone's memory or whatever as switching out to Task Manager and killing the process takes up quite a while too. I know it to be normal as any SCUMM talkie games and Nippon Safes also spend a while with an empty black screen as they apparently parse/process/otherwise load the game resources, but they DO come out of it in less than a minute of waiting.
Since this game has been supported for a while, I really want to know if it's a bug or a technical limitation imposed by the game's one-file state and the original version should be used instead. It should be noted that SCUMM talkie games work near-flawlessly and therefore it may not be a technical limitation after all.

This is due to that the MP3 support for FOTAQ is not working properly for the Symbian port. OGG and uncompressed version work well.

Tested with 0.11.0 release version. FOTAQ Mp3 version (FULL) available from ScummVM download page. Loading takes VERY long time! Game starts without any problems (I think this was fixed when increasing the stacksize for the mp3/common threads)

Okay, slight correction - this only occurs with the MP3-compressed version. The uncompressed version takes about three to four minutes to load up (180 megs of indirectly-interpreted code really might do so, I'd think), but then works smooth as butter. Apparently, I'm prone to panic attacks and posess a ridiculously short attention span.
