Finally an n-gage emulator.īut I didn't understand one thing from the video (I watched without sound, at work atm): is it emulating n-gage phone (I mean symbian 6-8) or n-gage 2.0 software platform (symbian 9 and up) or both? From the trailer it looks like both, but this are very different systems.Īnyways, there are good games on both of them. As for an N-Gage Emulator, as a former N-Gage User, I can appreciate its novelty, but not much else when there are Emulators of better Gaming peripherals. I still believe Symbian could be a viable OS in 2021 for standard Telephony, and I actually wouldn't mind owning a nice metal phone with this OS in the future, just focused on those core aspects.
I mostly used the phone to watch YouTube, listen to MP3s, video-call and chat, all of which worked remarkably well and, with that metal body, felt the most comfortable out of all the Nokia line-up. Support for the OS ended a few months into 2009, barely a year after release and the N-Gage Library is a gimmick at best. It also paired well to their line of Wireless Headsets, of which I bought the BH-604.īut that's about as far as I can force those rose-tinted glasses on myself. It was a sweet Smartphone for its time, and it had the best N-Gage capabilities Nokia ever released. My last Nokia phone was the first and only Flagship I bought from them, the Nokia N96. EKA2L1 is also an open-source project, so if you're interested in seeing the finer details of the emulator, you can check it out on the project's GitHub page. The emulator requires some setting up, meaning you'll need to acquire the right firmware files for your platform of choice, move them to your Android device, and into the right folder-fairly simple, if you know where to get them. Right now, it can emulate three different forms of Symbian: S60v1, S60v3, and S60v5, with high compatibility for the fair few N-Gage games that exist, like Sonic N, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Rayman 3, and others. EKA2L1 works primarily on 64-bit devices, though it does have limited "experimental" support for devices that use 32-bit architecture. Though it began development around two years ago, last week marked the first release of a stable Android build. A new emulator called EKA2L1 has released on the Google Play Store, and is designed to emulate Symbian devices, as well as the Nokia N-Gage, the latter of which was a "gaming phone" released in 2003.
