My main phone is broken, and a replacement phone from one of my oomfies has not arrived yet.

I have an old touchscreen #Nokia phone with #Symbian 9.4. Can you recommend any simple games and puzzles to play while listening to podcasts?

Maybe Brutaldon (at the end of the page I linked)? I've had some success using it on Opera Mini, on an Nokia S40 smartphone (not even Symbian OS), since it doesn't seem to use JavaScript

If S60's native browser supports JavaScript (the one ported to Nokia C3-00 did, and wasn't even Symbian), another set of possibilities awaits

Database update for the catalog from 01.02.2025. Just replace the 0.dat file with the new one.

The stuff I have in my drawers of geekery.

I used Symbian OS for years. It was a fantastic operating system which Nokia used a version of.

Me? Why I had a Psion Series 5 then a Nokia communicator. Until recently I used the series 5 as a clean and distraction free word processor. The keyboard is the best pocket keyboard ever made.

Our wonderful comrade launched this exclusive for Nokia 6260 on the emulator, and with his patch the number of real device models that support this game will probably increase.

Ink321 finally cracked this game! Now can play it on pocket pc. Only prototype for #Symbian 9 remains, it is still missing.

The Nokia 9210 Communicator , launched in 2001, was the first device to run on the Symbian OS . It famously appeared in the 2002 music video Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland , where Rowland used its Excel app to send a "message", sparking a lasting meme

Gem Drop X – a fast-paced puzzle one-player puzzle game using the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) libraries. It is a direct port of "Gem Drop," an Atari 8-bit game written in Action! https://archivegame.org/gemdropx/ #game #puzzle #linux #osx #windows #riscos #amiga #aros #morphos #symbian #sega #palmos

The gameplay is based on voice control, unique to the s60v2. To destroy buildings, you need to shout into the microphone of your smartphone. In fact, the game reacts to any sound resonance. It should be strong enough. On the last levels, even very strong.

I liked Ink321's suggestion to create another N-GAGE memory card for the collection

So Ink321 was able to run this game after all. As it turned out, the game uses not only the standard camera driver, but also a unique one from SX1. Mosquito animation is tied to the frame update rate from the camera. After fixing the drivers, the game's FPS went crazy)), on the emulator, if you set the FPS to maximum, it becomes bearable) Now it works on N-GAGE, although there are no camera drivers at all))

Today we will talk about Sendo X (Symbian 6.1). British answer to German Siemens SX1, and it also has exclusive software. The most valuable is Sendo Pinball & Funny Farmer. We need a full rom dump of this device. And if you collect something like this, it will be a very valuable exhibit.)

So it happened, great things got into the right hands.) Ink321 finally got a copy of exclusive software from Siemens SX1 LE, well, on standard SX1 it is simply not there. He divided all special software into three parts. First: software requiring dll which are only in SX1 firmware and therefore it will not be possible to run it on other smartphones.

I think this is a very suitable game for Christmas. Works on N-GAGE, s60v1, s60v2, on emulator too.

I am publishing screenshots of the Christmas gifts Ink321 received, from China, or somewhere there. All the games presented work on N-GAGE. There is also one with unique game mechanics for s60v2, but about in another post, another time.

One of three sports games for s80. Works great on emulator.
