Nokia Emu

[jislizard]

This isn't a request for someone to make me a nokia emulator, I already have a ngage to play the games on and I don't use that..

It isn't even one of those questions about whether anyone is going to make one, the standard response being "Yes if a developer is interested enough"

Or even a debate on whether one should be made for it, the n-gage isn't quite obsolete or dead, just stupid looking.

This just came about as I was searching for a PC emulator for the n-gage, most sites say that there isn't one but it is being worked on, some say that Nokia themselves have released one and an SDK

http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/0,,034-4,00.html

(if anyone fancies an SDK for the Symbian 60 platform)

And one site was offering one for sale

http://www.handango.com/SoftwareCatalog.js...eadCrumbs=false

All it seems to do on the free trial is make funny noises but they included bubblebobble.jar so maybe I am missing something. Maybe it just plays .jar files, is that enough to qualify as an n-gage emulator?

the only specs I could find (after a brief google) for the n-gage was "the N-Gage has a 104mhz CPU" and "The N-Gage and GP32 only has a screenbuffer, and no hardware to support it, that's why you need a 100MHz+ cpu to do anything with it." both from the emuboards.

Most mobile phone games that I have are jar/jad, I checked the wiki and found that Java may be possible using existing JVM with ARM support but as Skeezix said on the emuboards

OMG. Java games for cellphones really really suck.

jeff

I suppose I should try some non-phone games, but damn

but if I could play the nokia version of Tombraider on the GP2X it wouldn't be that bad.

So, anyone know anything about the n-gage? had a look at the specs before? think it is possible? Mostly for the better titles that were released as opposed to the 1000's of jar/jad games that were really quite poor, a list of the commercial games i ripped off of classicb from the retrogaming roundtable

So there are a couple of goodish ones and more to come including Civilisation, if you like that sort of thing and are buying it for your n-gage anyway.

[(naw)mcx]

would not mind seeing one though. An ngage emu would be good too

 

[Paradox]

im too lazy to read all your post but it does seem like you are asking for some kind of emulator which should be in requests / cool ideas and such

 

[Sofox]

I don't know about N-Gage emulation, but if you want to play standard mobile phone video games, then check out the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit: http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtoolkit/ . It's a tool that builds and emulates J2ME games. (J2ME is the Java Mobile Edition which most phone games are written in).

 

[Ravnos]

I want an N-Gage emu just for Rifts. I've wanted to see a Rifts game for so long and I heard this one is actually good. Not good enough to make me buy an N-Gage, though, so I hope we either get an emu (on the PC or otherwise...) or someone ports it to another platform so I can play that damned game!

I agree that this post is in the wrong section, however I don't agree with the fact that you would respond to a post you didn't even read. You said you were to lazy to read his post which is an insult, and then you proceded to correct it which is also an insult especially if you didn't even take the time to read it. Thank you.

i said i didnt read all of it, because after what i had read, i felt the rest was irrelivant to me, which turns out it was.

 

[Jarska333]

There's a rather nice Civilization for N-Gage.

 

[DynaMight]

Those Symbian phones have quite a bit of power in them, The Nokia 6600 for example has a 104MHz ARM9 CPU and the latter 6680/N70's have a 220Mhz CPU.

I had a almost full speed Megadrive Emulator on my 6600, Worked great. Theres even a good SNES emulator and godknows whatelse.

 

[jbrodack]

I would like to see a j2me emulator for the gp2x. there is a really fun game i have on my phone called alien attack that i would love to have for my gp2x. you try to avoid getting abucted by a ufo and make it home. its more fun than it sounds

 

[Octavious]

I would love to play that ES:ShadowKey

I think that is Betheseda made an ElderScrolls game for the PSP it would so rock, and if we could have the one on the Ngage, that woudle be neat
