IT House News, April 16th, Symbian mobile operating system played an important role in the rise of PDAs (and later smart phones) in the late 1990s and early 2000s, especially outside North America. The platform has a large number of applications and games, and now you can use these games and applications on your Android phone or tablet.
IT Home understands that EKA2L1 is a cross-platform Symbian emulator, mainly written in C++, and has been developed for more than two years.It can currently emulate S60v1, S60v3 and S60v5 platforms, These platforms are carried in mobile phones such as Nokia 7650, Nokia N95, Nokia E50 and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.The emulator is also compatible with games built for Nokia N-Gage phones, N-Gage is Nokia’s unsuccessful attempt on a mobile phone/game console hybrid in 2003. N-Gage only sold 3 million devices in its short life, so there are not many games developed for it, but N-Gage is still an important part of the history of mobile phones.
This emulator has been available for Android on GitHub for some time, but the app has just been released to the Google Play store. The app works best on 64-bit Android devices, but it also has experimental 32-bit support. When used with compatible software, EKA2L1 can run games at a higher frame rate than the original Symbian device.
Users need to find the firmware ROM of their device to use EKA2L1, and repack the Z drive of the device. There is a wiki article that describes how to dump ROM and file system from compatible Symbian devices. You can download EKA2L1 from the Play Store.
