Howdy oilisab,
Soft resets are a healthy thing to do for your PDA. Basically, your PDA memory is like a hard drive. After a bit of usage, it becomes fragmented. There isn't any compaction utilities to unfragment this memory. After all, you can't easily move a program's data while it's executing. Think of soft resets as memory enemas.
If a program needs a large contigious chunk of memory, then it won't be able to allocate it. Even though you might have several megabytes of available RAM, it doesn't help since it's spread out in little chunks.
I recall Enigmo needs to grab screen sized memory for the backgrounds and such. That's about a 1.1 Megabyte chunk. (640x480x16bits) Other games require even larger chunks of contigious memory. So be prewarned!
