Does anyone have any idea of a easy to use Java editior? Do such things exist? I'd basicly like to make software for the 7650 in Java but i have no idea where to start. I know it's unlikely but is there a package with a simple GUI to help create Java apps?
Eventually, my idea is to take the source code for Snes9X (offered free & legally on the net) and convert it to Java, or Symbian.
Snes9x is basicly a Super Nintendo Emulator which has been converted to run on windows, pocket pc, mac, dreamcast & luinex (Spelt right?). I'd love to get mario working on my 7650. If not then i'd start from scratch on a mario-esque game, although bluetooth multiplayer on Mario Kart would be..... :P
Hold your phone sideways with the joystick resting under your left thumb, and the voicedial key under your index finger. Your right thumb rests over the speaker. Now tell me that doesnt feel like a games machine?!
😃
lol that would be a crazy idea
and mario would actually fit on these phones too
I use to run the emulator too, the mario file was only a couple hundred kbs.
That would be crazy.
But alas I think youll find there are no GUI programming applications to make apps for the phone.
yeah i;ve been thinking bout holding my phone sideways
but the joystick is very slippery and my thumb can't move quickly
trust me, it couldnt even emulate a gameboy in 1% of the real speed (in a midlet) so i wouldnt even think of emulating a snes 😊
But ifi t's possible to run Doom, the it can't be too impossible to get gameboy software running?!
Anyway, you're probably right, what about creating a Mario a-like from scratch?
in java midlets it's impossible, but coding for the native os will probably work.
my polyfiller is quite fast with one poly in native code 😊, not optimized in any way. so emulating gameboy or even nes shouldnt be a problem i think.
Snes needs a lot of run-time memory to work, also Snes9x is one of the slowest emulators out there mainly because the code is based to help it run on multi-platforms i.e. BeOS, Linux, Windoze, etc. You struggle to play snes games with Snes9x on a low end pentium pc, which is where the 7650 is somewhere under so the code will need to be mostly ASM and C++. You'll probably have more luck with the classic Gameboy or Gameboy colour, although don't try the Gameboy Advance because that's just a handheld snes.
If it was coded in the native symbian OS language, C++ Isnt it?
it would work, id bet my wok on it.
But yes midlet, lol that just aint gonna happen
But doom, doom is kewl. but takes up alotta realestate in the phone.
I was wondering if it is possible to port MAME to the 7650, it shouldn't be difficult because there is already a mame version for the 9210, called eMame.
To my knowledge eMAME is based on SDL, so someone would need to port the SDL libraries to the series60 OS first. Afterwards a lot of SDL based apps should be portable. Warcraft on the 7650 anyone?
