 hi all,
with the help of some gurus on the forum, i've finally gotten my s60 (wincw emu for now) build to run - which has been done before -, and also to run a dos game (magic candle) - which i'm not so sure has been done.
anyway, if all goes well, there will be some updates and hopefully a sisx release soon...
here's a shot :-)
cheers!

ps: eye of the beholder actually plays! i had to do some key mapping so that i can make the setup choices, but after that the sdl virtual mouse pointer worked (almost) like a charm :-)

ps2: an emulator running in an emulator... creepy :-)

 dynamic arm will have to wait a bit, for now i'm happy normal core is working

will spend today trying to build a gcce release (its a bit more fussy about iso c++ compliance)... so keep your fingers crossed :-)

update:

moved to debugging on target (my trusty e51). the inits all check out (after reducing emulated ram size from 16M). but seems i'm losing some of my static constants (probably have to tune the linker settings a bit), i'm expecting to iron that out with some googling/foruming... :-)

It's been ported to N8xx, which use OMAP2420. You can read about it here. Don't expect it to be noticeably different than E51, though, since it's the CPU that do all the work and they both use similiar ARM11 CPUs. The OpenGL ES hardware support on OMAP2 is pretty much useless for this software.

 You should be able to drop in the dynamic arm core with too much difficulty. There are some newer versions of it since I originally posted.

Pretty much copy the files into your source, setup the config.h, and compile.

 ok, i'm pushing to get something releasable assembled.

to that end i've implemented screen rotations, and virtual mouse controls (i've troubles with s60sdl's own virtual mouse). thats done.

i'm ironing out config file usage, so the user has an easy way to configure screen orientation, and possibly key mappings.)

i promise i'll check out the arm core, when thats done :-)

 As far as i remember M-HT made 2 version's one for 0.72 and a version for the cvs.
if kolijoco is using cvs, then he probably just needs to check the config.h

 Looks like an awesome emulator!!

By the way, running an emulator inside an emulator isn't so spooky; I do it all the time. As there is no (decent) Master System emulator for S60 I use a GBA Master System emulator via vBag Happy

If you use a digital camera, use the button (or setting) that has a flower on it. That setting enables you to photograph smaller stuff (I think it's called something with makro or so...)
But nice that you got it to work!

 ok, lets try this. here's something adventurous people might like to test drive.

not sure about system requirement, i would guess you need at least a 3rd edition s60 device, and having a minimum 320x240 (either orientation) display is probably a good start.

the release includes:
-my gcce release build,
-the s60 sdl binary release,
-nokia's openc redists (the redistribution license document is included, if you don't agree to the terms within, don't use them! from my limited understanding this should be ok, if not, let me know and i'll kill the post).
-example dosbox.conf and mapper.txt
-"detailed" Happy instructions in README.TXT

DO READ THE README.TXT !!!

 as said, i'm testing mainly with "Eye of the Beholder 1", its available on just about every abandonware site out there (goog'lit).

consider trying games with low system requirements and conservative key assignments (you won't really be able to type anything on a T9).

if you find a game playable, let us know :-)

Location: Michigan 		Good news, it works on S60 fifth edition! No keyboard means I can't do anything with it, but it's already awesome, will try on my N95 later.

edit: no dice on my N95-1, dies with a not enough memory error on boot. So you'd need more then 30mb free ram it seems.

I got the same problem with my old phone (6120 classic). Seems like a new phone is in order! Sticking Tongue Out Hopefully Nokia will announce some device that catch my interest at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in two weeks.

Still, well done kolijoco! Very Happy

I belive the 6120 classic was the last S60 phone Nokia released with only 64mb system RAM, so any newer S60 phone should be fine.
