This version Has:
 * First release, basic functionality
 * Save states
 * Hopefully support for QWERTY phones (untested)
 * Some very basic vibration support (currently only when you get hit)
 * Languages support (untested)
 * Game was tested on n95

Credits:
--------
REminiscence is the work of Gregory Montoir (http://cyxdown.free.fr/reminiscence)
Sektor http://gtamp.com/PSP for a great PSP port and the README
Delphine Software for a great game
---------

To run REminiscence, you'll need a copy of the data files from the DOS version
of Flashback.

I do not know where you can get it (google it?!)
Maybe checkout the PSP port...

Required:
---------
 * SDL runtime for S60 http://koti.mbnet.fi/mertama/sdl.html
 * Game data files
 + Game music files from amiga, mods (optional)
   mods have to be in the correct names (check treestructure.txt for them)
   a batch file  (renamemods.bat) is supplied to help rename the files from amiga.

 * Ability to install Selfsigned apps on the phone

To install:
-----------
 * Install the SDL on the phone
 * Create FLASHDATA folder in the root of the memory Card (Has to be E drive on the phone)
 * Inside the FLASHDATA dir create a SAVES dir
 * copy all the data files to FLASHDATA
 + copy the renamed mods to FLASHDATA (optional)
 * install the "sis" file

Controls: (when looking in portrait orientation, the game itself is played
           in landscape orientation)
---------
   D-Pad     - Move left, right, up, or down
   Middle button of D-Pad     - Enter (Use object)
   C   - Backspace (Inventory / exit from a cinematic scene)
   App button above             - Space (Take out / put back gun)
   the green button (answer call)
   Pencil     - Shift (Operate / run / take)
   App 2 button above
   the red button (drop call) - Esc (Game options)

   Long jump - Hold Pencil + left/right, release left/right and then push up
   High jump - Hold Pencil + left/right and then release left/right anytime before you get to an edge
  (he only jumps if ledge is within reach, required on 2nd level)


Note: !!! Recomended to use MagicKey for key mappings !!!

Known issues:
-------------
* No proper Icon
* No Password input (Use save states)
* No compression of saves and replays (as in the original)
* because of no compression the save files from other platforms are
  not compatible
* No mirror mode
* no fast mode
* Not going to work on s60v5 (no keys!) for those who do have keys
  Like the n97 crowd no guaranties that it will install at all.
