The recent availability of Doom, Wolfenstein and Quake in Symbian-friendly guises got Ewan wondering how easy or hard it would be to get Quake working, in all its majesty, on a Nokia N95. Here's his Quake for S60 tutorial, with appropriate links and tips. Have a blasting weekend, everybody!
Read on in the full article.
Works perfectly on my N95 8GB.
Works on my N95-3 😃
On closer inspection, everything works but the CD music. Do you HAVE to have 10 songs?
Yep, you need to have all 10 tracks there.
It does NOT work on NOKIA N81 8gb
did everything just as instructed and when you try to launch the game icon it just wont start, no black screen no nothing.
cheers

coz dude your n81 doesnt have the armv6 architecture
itll work only in n93, n93i, n95-1, n95-3(US), n95-2(8GB), n95-4(8GB US), e90
One obvious improvement would be to use the built-in accelerometer as a mouse!
Ewan,
Couldn't you make a similar article on Wolfenstien 3D? Because I didn't have any luck installing it on my E61.
Just in case anyone's thinking that you need an N95 or other NSeries phone to run this, Quake actually runs extremely well on a 6120 Classic, with full frame rate (at least 30fps by the looks of it) 3D textured graphics, and great sounds. Using a headset/phones gives stereo sound effects too. You want to download the no-FPU version though.
The ease with which the 6120 runs Quake is why there is no reason the full spectrum of NGage games can't be released for the phone too, so it's ridiculous that NGage is not currently on it.
Quake 1 and Quake 2 also run in E90. It's very impressive to see the hardware accelerated versions in the big inner screen.
How about the N82?
Quake runs perfectly on my 5700xm.n81 owners should wait for the no fpu release of quake 2.n-gage?just a piece of overrated crap!dont forget to donate to olli hinkka.the guy deserves every penny!
I guess due to not being SP1 none of these versions will run on an N73. If it does work on a 6120 Classic that makes it even weirder that the N73 is an N-Gage phone and the 6120 isn't. I bought my N73 especially with games playing in mind - maybe I should have gone for a 6120 instead! It all seems pretty strange to me....
Thats because 6120 is the much more newer Phone than the N73!
i followed ur instructions to the letter but it just will not work on my n95-1
Help! I cant install Q2 in winxp/!?!?
Works On E51!!!!!
on N82 it runs flawlessly. quake1 looks great in GL version and quake 2 as well (highest texture settings and antialiasing).
However there are a few issues with quake 2:
1) After changing the settings to GL rendering (and changing the texture quality) you have to restart the game on N82 otherwise it won't load next level (at the elevator part).
2) Screen is just too dark on N82 regardless of the settings both in/out game
3) Game lags often (And this is not becouse of RAM)
please help i have nokia n95 8gb i did evey thing exccept install the pips file i put it in my phone went down to file manger and installed it but it says preparing install then says file corrupted so i skipped that part in the end i have the quake 2 icon i click it and nothing happens nothing just stays there no black screen nothing PLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From the comments i got to kno that quake dont run on N81 8GB bcoz it doesnt hv the req processor. Then i found 1 guy announcing very gladly that his supercool 6120 runs it perfectly and he was also cursing N-Gage which i couldnt figure out why(i love N-Gage btw). Following proud 6120 user's comment a poor N73 user questions y his N-Series mob cant play something that a non N-Series mob like 6120 can play. And he gets a reply from the 6120 user that its bcoz 6120 is newer than N73, which is true. Combining all these issues, can i ask what is really the case with N81 8GB knowing that its even newer than the N95?
I hvn't tried to install quake yet in my N81 8GB.
Cant get Q2 to work on my E71.
Or should i get the non FPU version??

My Phone is Nokia E51.. Is it FP1 and Arm6
The only models with 3D hardware graphics acceleration are: N82, N95, N95 8GB and E90.
For others, you need to use the nofpu (FPU, Floating Point Unit) version:
Nothing happens when I select to run the application (I followed all the directions from above)
Please help!
I managed to get it working on the N81 first time (non 8gb version). In truth it was as simple as the instructions.
It works almost as well as Quake, very speedy and only slows down when a few things are going on. A must admit when it first starts up there's a black screen for quite some seconds (which rings the alarm bells a bit) and the same when starting a new game, which I guess might make a few people think it's not working, but it's only a case of waiting.
Amazing to see a game I had to completely upgrade my old PC for all those years ago running so smoothly on a mobile. Controls are a bit of a pain, but then it wasn't written for phones, so we can't really complain.
holy shit man it works on my nokia C5 now i'm trying to play quake 3 on my phone =D
Nokia N90 screen swivels through 270 degrees so that the phone can be handled in a 'video camera' style. The camera lens also swivels to allow shots from unique angles.
