E²MAME

MAME for Symbian Mobile Phones

MAME (the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is an arcade game emulator for PCs that has been ported to many platforms. E²MAME is a port of MAME for mobile phones running the Symbian operating system. E²MAME is free software and currently runs on:

• Early series 60 phones: Nokia N-Gage, Siemens SX-1, Nokia 6600, and probably most other models. The very first Series 60 models, the Nokia 7650 and Nokia 3650, can only run the miniature version of E²MAME, called "Micro-E²MAME", due to very limitied memory.
• Series 60 Feature pack 2 phones, e.g., Nokia 6630 and Nokia 6680. These models, surprisingly, have a bit less free memory than earlier Series 60 phones; therefore only Mini-E²MAME runs on these.
• NOT SUPPORTED: Series 60 3rd edition phones (Nokia E50, 5500, N93, N73, N71, N80, N92, E60, or E61) and later.
• UIQ phones: Motorola A920/A925/A1000, and maybe more?
• The Nokia 9500 and 9300 Communicators.
• The Nokia 7710 is supported by Mini-E²MAME.

The phones I have access to are the Nokia N-Gage, the Nokia 6680, the Motorola A925, and the Nokia E61. They are what I use for testing, and I have very limited possibilities to fix bugs that only occur on specific hardware that I do not possess.

E²MAME is based on EMame, a Symbian port of MAME for Psion and SonyEricsson devices by Peter van Sebille. See Peter's Place for more information about MAME on these devices and Peter's other Symbian projects. Peter van Sebille also wrote "ECompXL," a utility that creates self-extracting executables on the Symbian platform. ECompXL is essential for building E²MAME (and EMame). Thanks Peter for the great work with both EMame and ECompXL!
