N-gage Emulators


Rlyeh is working on MAME - and I don't think the n-gage port is very playable atm.
 
:eek:, you know, the more i actually hear about the n-gage, without all the anti nokia stuff, the more i think... maybe... i might get 1....

Not as a phone! Just to mess about with! In a year they will cost pennies so ill get one then :D.

thats exactly what I thought before I found out about the GP32, it's a lot better than everyone makes it out to be. People hear that it sucks from a friend who never had it, who was told that it sucked by some guy on the internet who played the store display of "Tomb Raider" once and deemed it crap after seeing the $200 price tag. Thats how the world works, everyone thinks it sucks after doing no research on it at all ("It's a taco! A TACO!!! It's terrible!"). Heck, I could post on these boards from an N-Gage with the opera browser, I've seen people do that before. And it has no real limit on card size, it's just as big as you can get. You can put a 512mb mmc in now, or wait 2 years and put a 1 gig one in. It's much more durable than the GP32 and GBA too. And with the battery case thing, who cares about the batteries when you can put a 512mb card in? I think there's a way to upload your games to the card anyway. I never change my GP32's card. The multiplayer aspect seems really good too, with the built in bluetooth. The fact that it's a phone actually helps it in the multiplayer aspect as you could use that connection to play WAN games actoss the world while riding the bus. In all I think the N-Gage is actually pretty sweet, it's the closest thing to a GP32 other than the Zodiac. I didn't buy it because of some flaws (mainly just the battery life and the small screen). Even if I take it out somewhere at school or something it will just be the nerdy kids who think it's stupid, the others will have never heard about it and would think that the GameBoy is stupid because of kids breaking it out at lunch and playing Yu-Gi-Oh!. In most places, Nintendo is considered stupid by the average joe because it's only for kid's, whereas many adults use Nokia products. So generally, the only people who hate it are the gamers (who unfortunatly are Nokia's core demographic on the product). Well enough spamming for me, I never got one, but I still stand up for it against ignorant people who dont know anything about it (not you guys, just everyone else)

Some nice points made there Efompor. I have got one and I'm rather pleased with it. I tend to think of it more as a phone than a hand held (or 'game deck'). It fits in my jeans pocket (unlike my GP32), so it travels with me everywhere. Only a few of the comercial games are much cop so far (Fifa and Tony Hawks are my favourites), but there's a huge range of Simbian apps. I have a gameboy colour emulator which runs fairly well (although the sounds sucks so I mute it). I also have an episode of South Park and several MP3's for ring tones. Everyone likes to joke about N-Gage but I'm actually rather chuffed with mine. :)
 
I thought the same thing, about hitting the joystick in my pocket. So whilst picking up another 128mb SMC this morning, I picked up a camera case which funnily enough fits the GP32 perfectly.

I did raise a few eyebrows whilst I was standing there seeing which bag it would fit in, I spent 30mins showing the guy behind the counter everything it can do. I played Simpsons eps, Emu's + Mp3's. He took some website addy's from me and said thanks. Looks like we may have another joining us.
 
lol yeah its generally super ok + no1 has actually noticed erm .. Basically if your a lucky perosn you can be pretty rough with your game park it tends 2 be in my coat pocket + well at school its always getting slammed on chair legs dropped on floors etc unlike my old 3210 i dropped it on a carpet a tiny distance ( slid off my lap whilst sitting ) and the screen broke ! crazy !
 
Sure you get a lump in your pocket (with school uniform atleast) but thats half the fun of owning a GP32, I mean where would I be today if girls werent asking me "Whats in you pocket? OOOO is it that thing that plays bejeweled and watches movies?!!"
