Emulators are programs that run software written for old computers or videogame consoles on the new hardware. Essentially, an emulator makes old software "think" that it is running on the original hardware, while it actually runs on your computer.
Originally, I developed emulators for PCs and Unix workstations. With time though, even mobile devices such as PDAs and cell phones became capable of emulating older hardware. Thus, at this page you will find my applications for Nokia Symbian-based smart phones and instructions on how to set them up.
Requirements :
* Your phone has to run SymbianOS 9 and the 3rd Edition of Nokia Series 60 software. Older S60 editions will not work.
* You must have a memory card where games and other software will be stored.
* The following Nokia phones should work: 3250, 5500, N71, N72, N73, N80, N90, N93, E60, E61, E70. Others may work as well
Installation:
Make sure your phone is enabled to install applications from providers other than Nokia affiliates. To enable, go to Tools | Application Manager | Options | Settings and set "Software Installation" setting to "All".
Download application (with .sis extension) from this page and install it to your phone. You may need to click through several warning messages always shown when installing application from a non-affiliated source.
Find software for the emulated platform (such as ZX Spectrum or ColecoVision). Due to copyright reasons, I cannot provide you with such software, so please do not ask. Use Google instead. I do suggest that you buy the original copy for each piece of software you use. It is the ethical thing to do.
Copy found software to the \Others\<EmulatorName> directory on your memory card. For example, ColEm games will go into E:\Others\ColEm.
Run the application and have fun.
Use softkeys as fire buttons. Press [END] to quit the emulator or [SEND] to go into the options menu. The [Clear] (or [C]) key toggles sound playback. To suspend the program and go into the phone menu, press key labeled with a little Symbian logo.
Some applications, such as Speccy, may require the use of full keyboard found in such phones as Nokia E61 and E70. If your phone has no keyboard, some emulated programs may still work though. Just make sure you always choose the joystick option when given a choice.
Attention: All applications at this page should be treated as beta versions for now. Thus, if you have any problems running these applications, please, tell me and other users about your problems. I am especially interested in how well my applications run on phones with low screen resolutions (i.e. 240x320, 208x208 and lower), as I have no access to phones with such resolutions. Don't forget to include the model of your phone.
ColEm will run ColecoVision cartridge files with .cv, .cv.gz, .rom, and .rom.gz extensions. Place your files into E:\Others\ColEm and don't forget to put COLEM.ROM (ColecoVision BIOS) there.
Many Colecovision Roms including the Bios Roms:
