I might be forced into finally upgrading my ancient Nokia "brick" phone (one with Snake original on!) soon, what's the current state-of-play with mobile phones? Are they generally all too slow to run MAME? Are any new faster/better technologies on the horizon?

What about other emulators and game ports? Anyone got any useful sites on this?

Cheers!

TEH ONE TRUE WILDCAT has a Samsung SGH-C225 that doesn't work at work because T-Mobile's coverage here sucks

Get one with symbian OS on it. Not only cool software but ScummVM runs on it ;)

Simply have a look for yourself.


So long...

I have a Symbian phone... It doesn't run SCUMMVM. My phone is a 6680, so far from the lower end of Symbians.

I've got a 6630. It's not quite enough for MAME, but Frodo runs pretty well on it. Space Taxi works beautifully, and is not even too hard to control. :-)

What's the difference between the various Symbian OSes? 6, 7, 8, 9, 9.1, 9.2... does it affect emulators/game ports?

So which Symbian phone is best?

I suppose I should ask my mate, he used to work for Symbian... heh!
