System Memory? How to make more

Hey, I was tryign to play a 3.6mb flash file on my clie. When I open it, its just a blank screen. Now, from what I herad you need more memory on your RAM than the size of the file, so I deleted a few programs just to see if it worked, and no luck. And then I realized that theres a system memory (click on the MS icon on bottom, and then change MS to Handheld). I had 3.5mb left. What is the system memory and how do I make more (just need the 0.1mb more!).

Also, do I really hvae to buy jackflash to get it to allow me to store as much as my ROM can hold? Because I downloaded it (i guess it was the shareware version), and I read the instructions before installing and it said this version only allows you to intall 64k, which is just very stupid. Pointless, so I didnt even bother installing it. Is it really worth it? And why do compnaies make unwritable ROM if its not going to be used unless you have jackflash or some other program? I mean, is there really any use for it?

For your first question, most Flash files will require much more RAM to run than the size of the file itself. The Flash Player has to draw all those graphics and images take a lot of space. Many larger files simply won't run due to RAM restraints.

As for JackFlash, the demo only serves to show you if you device is compatible with JackFlash or not. It looks like you have an NX73, so you will be able to free up tons of space my using JackFlash. I'd say it's worth it.
As for why companies don't allow you to have access to the ROM without apps like JackFlash. In these devices the ROM only serves the purpose to store the OS and other built-in apps. They started using flash ROM's so the OS and built-in apps could be easily updated without replacing the ROM chip. It's not intended to be used as a storage space.
