N-gage

I was just going to post the same thing!

Could hardly believe it till I got sonic working on the gf's 3650! Now I just gotta lose my 7650 and get an SX1!

Unferkinbelievable!

So... what happened to the low-level api's that n-gage games were meant to have?

I have to assume sonic doen't use more than 256 colours as it displays well on the 3650 screen?

The 3650 screen has 4096 colours.I still believe there are "low level" "special" API's,call them whatever you want.Most likely the new games will use them and the compatibility with other Series 60 phones will be lost.

Sorry, getting myself confused re the screen colours. For some reason I thought the n-gage had 4096 and the 36/7650 256. Doh.

If the low level api's exist, then it would have made sense to my mind for a 3d game like TR to have used them. But of course the 6600 can play TR with no trouble.

You could be right but I'm inclined to doubt they even exist. Is there an SDK for the n-gage apart from the generic s60 one? Or is that only given to commercial developers...
