The "badscreen" images look like what I saw from bug #6434 - ALL: sscanf("%f"), atof() etc. not portable due to Locale

The problem then was that it was trying to parse floating-point numbers that used a period as decimal separator, and in my locale it's a comma instead, so all values were mis-parsed as zero. However, that bug was fixed more than a year ago.

Unless maybe the bug is still present in the Symbian version?

[zanac]

Yes, it still present. I play them today

[Filippos Karapetis]

So, the actual issue here is that the Symbian port misses floating point arithmetics functionality. Adapting description

[Willem Jan Palenstijn]

No, it seems this is due to scanf being limited.
