Emus For Moble Phones

[Danny]

Mourgos is looking for emulators which run on his phone, not phone emulators.

yeah i dont see those coming round. i suppose you could take a rom and somehow make it into a java game to work on the phone. i've got soccer on mine ^_^

[Danny]

Or just write an emulator in java.

Anybody know what sort of CPUs these phones have? Nothing more than a Z80 or 68000 - they're nothing more than calculators, are they? You couldn't emulate a hot poop on one of those.

Danny- yeah, get the emu on there. now what about roms to be run? how would that work seein as most phone/java games are 50-100kb and ROMs are 500+

waz- most new fones are being designed to play mp3s, mpegs/avis and jpegs. i think the first level of pong may be emulated

I think though that they use special DSP processors for those particular tasks. I wonder how well they function at general tasks.

If a phone has enough space for mp3's, mpegs etc they will have enough for
emulators and roms. There are already emulators for phones just look at

that site is working particularly well at the moment, ill look later. but i still dont see the point of emus on phones. the java game thing makes much more sense to me

[donkeyknob]

more info about the n-gage emulators would be nice d00d

good idea, an emulator on a phone. then u can like have a portable emulator instead of having 2 play it on ur computer.
it might be possible, there are cords that u can attach to ur computer from ur fone which transfers files, the only problem would b if the phone has enough memory for the emulator
