So does that make this thread a Frankenthread, or a Chimaera?

Re: Emulator to run Symbian applications and games on Maemo?
 

The one game that I would truly like to see on the N900 is Tower Defense

My old 1st gen n95 could still pull the wow my mates away from the other smartphone users (even today). All I have is awesome Flash, FF, and an open source platform ;)

I too would like to see an symbian emulator tho.

Will an emulator be needed with qt 4.6 on the horizon?

Re: Emulator to run Symbian applications and N-Gage games on Maemo?
 

Probably not. Thats the whole idea behind every screaming jesus at every qt mentioning.
Its supposed to be a tool for cross platform development.

Re: Emulator to run Symbian applications and N-Gage games on Maemo?
 

Symbian dual boot on n900 would be awesome.

Free Nokia Maps
A Fast version of Symbian
All of the Apps
Working Google Maps
Proper iplayer
A better ovi store
Proper syncing with Ovi Suite.

Couldn't lose maemo though, its sooo much better.

Symbian s60v3 and s60v5 emulators
 

Ok now that Symbian is open source and has been open source for a while would it possible to get the Symbian apps running through an emulator on Maemo. I would like this very much because there are many apps that I wish were available for the n900 but just aren't. The only real issue I can see is that Maemo runs in a much higher (800x480) resolution the Symbian devices which run at a resolution at much lower (640x360). What do you guys think.

Re: Symbian s60v3 and s60v5 emulators
 

could we emulate google maps?!?!

Re: Symbian s60v3 and s60v5 emulators
 

Probably screen resolution issues though but yes a Google maps client.

Re: Symbian s60v3 and s60v5 emulators
 

It could made easily, couldn't it as Symbian is open source.

Re: Symbian s60v3 and s60v5 emulators
 

I have run the java version of google maps in microemulator. It works, but the user interface isnt what I would call usable.

Re: Symbian s60v3 and s60v5 emulators
 

Well many Symbian apps are just J2me apps such as Doodle Jump.

Re: Symbian s60v3 and s60v5 emulators
 

Awesome idea, we are already able to use .jar files but if we can even open .sis(x) (Symbian) files then we can nearly beat the amount of the iPhone apps with the N900 :>

Well there is Garnet os VM that unofficially runs just fine on the Nokia n900 and palm os does help achieve having near iPhone/Android amount of apps.

Re: Emulator to run Symbian applications and N-Gage games on Maemo?
 

As dated and as crappy as Symbian is boy does it have apps. It has lots and lots of apps all of which n900 owners are deprived of sadface :(.

Symbian Application Emulator?
 

Hello, I am wandering if it even possible to create an emulator for an application of Symbian device to run on N900.

For example, Ovi Map 3.04 on Symbian

If it is possible then we can solve so many missing functionality or applications to N900 like Voice Nagivation.

Well, this is what I saw in my dream last night lol.
Speculation is welcome

Re: Symbian Application Emulator?
 

I suggest you have a look on this page as it explains how to run Qt for S60 SDK on Linux.
It is getting better lol.

Re: Symbian Application Emulator?
 

cool but if this even possible on N900 yet? lol have you tried?

Re: Symbian Application Emulator?
 

Not going to be easy to emulate, i think better to port Symbian over to linux.

Wow dated. I guess android is much better because it looks shiny?

Re: Emulator to run Symbian applications and N-Gage games on Maemo?
 

Come on Symbian is pretty hard to use and looks really ugly these days. Sorry but classic Windows Mobile is More usable than Symbian how ever Symbian ^3 should help Symbian catch up with everyone else. Also for some reason people consider Google Android to geeky and I really don't understand that. Maybe people have expected too much simplicity from having iPhones so much.

.sis emulator?
 

is there any symbian emulator ? there is java emulator but what about .sis games and applications ? is that possible ?

Re: .sis emulator
 

very good idea i have not seen anything taht can rus sis. lets wait for others comments!

Re: .sis emulator?
 

Yes i was thinking about this long back , the ability to emulate .sis or .sisx files would be great :D .

But i don't know how easy would it be to create an emulator of such kind .

Re: Emulator to run Symbian applications and N-Gage games on Maemo?
 

I think an API(much like WINE) would be better then an emu... although the final and best solution would be to rewrite the most popular symbian apps and write the new ones for Qt. If only Ovi maps was written for Qt for crying out loud....

Re: Emulator to run Symbian applications and N-Gage games on Maemo?
 

Actually such a thing SHOULD be top priority for Nokia. Because it is only way to bring Symbian decent and peaceful death, not harming anyone.
