Fun, iPhone competing, applications/games for Touch HD? - Touch HD Themes and Apps

So I got the Touch HD instead of the iPhone (and I think it was a good choice). But I'm constantly getting "Ooo, look at this" and Pocket god this and Monkey ball that. I wanted to know... is there anything out there that can compete? Anything out there that can make the iPhone-ers go "Wow!"?
Thanks in advance.

Your freedom should make them "wow". I-Phone has so many restrictions. If you choose blackstone, then you should know what you need since you choose this. IPhone is so overrated in my opinion, better for a showcase but useless.
Fact: I-Phone has better "showcase" applications. But it does not make our blackstone worse.

Hmmm ... wait for FPSEce 1.0 (will be out soon i hope) and show the f*** iphone users, how to play Playstation 1 games at your phone (i know, there's a psx emulator for iphone, this is horrible slow i think ) you can also try FPSEce 0.9.6b (with using WVGA Fix) and give the iphone users a showcase with FF VII

FPSEce works fine without wga fix

Well, for the best "wooow"-effect, you should look at the commercial games (for wvga).
I've made some games that are free (see my signature) but I don't think it makes any iphone-user go "wow", as they're not as ambitious as the best on appStore...

Here are two apps that I have managed to wow some iphoners with:
PointUI PointSenseSuite V2
and
PocketSand v0.83
but you can always work your way over here and maybe find a few like starcraft and such http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496805

Iphone games???

Is there no way of converting iphone games to be compatible with the touch hd, as screen size is similar, both have accelerometers, i was kind of amazed when i saw the soccer 2009 game on youtube, kind of dissapointed that the touch hd doesnt have anything similar yet (theres only so much twitter i can play!)
I dont really know how to convert softwares cross platform, but if anyone can actually do this, i'd be very happy to help
the screens are NOT smiliar.... there are differnt OS.... Iphone accept multitouch.....HD can using a stick, iphone not...
there is no chance to convert.....only rebuild....
ok, thanks, do you think games and software will be released like it has been on the iphone?
i dont think the HD can run games that will work at good FPS like the iphone.

Wot?
Course it will....
mmm
resolution...
The HD has a WVGA the Iphone has not much !!!
even if it was possible to port the games on to the Touch .. the picture woudl be soo small .. it woudl not be able to see much !!
However there are other games out there that do mimic the same as the Iphone... but better !!!!!!!!!
Yep hardware wise the HD trousers the iPhone.....
And you can install what you want on it without apple saying so...

thats why i thought the hd should be able to play games that are at the same quality as the iphone, maybe because wvga hasnt been around that long?
To clarify; you can't. Iphone uses completely different hardware and more importantly the operating system and APIs available to the developer are very different. Even rebuilding with the game source-code would be a very manual process.
It would be like trying to port a PS3 game to an Xbox360... not possible.
Are there any games to the touch HD that can be compared to the games in Iphone? And where to buy them? I wanna have good games like on Iphone, my friends with Iphone laugh at my Blackstone because it has no good games
Well, thats the problem with Windows Mobile. On Iphone Apple controls what you can install, on Windows Mobile there is nothing you could control. (well, except business and navigation tools)

Games on the HD - Why a poor selection.

I recently got the HD. Must say, it is a sexy beast. One factor that led me to choose this over the iPhone was -
* A greater selection of apps and the ability to install whatever you wished.
I am a keen game player and currently, with the HTC HD I have the following problems.
1. Lack of D-Pad/hardware buttons means that there many existing titles are unsuitable for play
2. The screen ratio means that more titles dont play (in full resolution).
3. There just arent any good motion controlled games (whereas, there IS on the iPhone)
4. Game titles that do work properly on the HD (and even those that dont) are boring/not very fluid/not exciting/2D - certainly not the case for the iPhone.
5. Game development for the iPhone seems an active process - every week, one hears of a new innovative game release for the iPhone, which one never hears for the HD or other PPC.
6. I tried using emulators - including the PSX one, just too slow, doesnt do much for me.
What do people have to say about the list above? Specifically:
1. Is there any way of playing iPhone games on the HTC HD
2. Why is no one making use of the HTC HDs gaming potential/motion sensor?
From a rather cheated purchacher.
OMG i cant hear it anymore. every second post is whining about the so cool iphone and the crappy touch hd.
windows mobile has the problem that it has good applications, but boring games. many developers seem still to think that its only a phone for business usage.
the touch hd is not a dedicated gaming device, if you want one, you have to buy a psp or iphone. thats it.
just listen carefully , its not the problem of the device(its windows mobile so it has the ability to accept great games and its also proved by the Xtrakt game!) , its the problem of the developers there are no / or a little developers that can make games like Xtrakt. (oh btw Xtrakt wasnt even developed by a hd user or for the hd it was developed for the Xperia )
sorry, if im wrong just delete this reply or ignore it !
sorry for my bad English

The problem is that every company that makes phones can use any chipset they want and there is no SDK for developers to use that is standardized for all Windows phones. hopefully with the next line of HTC phones there will be enough in that line to encourage developers to figure it out. Anyway, try Need For Speed as well and you can enable the gsen to work for it until the new version (that EA is including the gsen in) is released: http://www.fuzemobility.com/need-for-speed-gsen-enabled-now/
if u ask me... 800x480 is new one to developers(popular device) so they need time to adapt their new games so u will play to your device...till now u got 640x480 games working on your blackstone(adapted somehow ) and wait for new 1 to come...
cheer
ps. u cant compare iphone with blackstone cos, trust me, iphone its not worth it
my missus has an iphone and they are two completly different phones its like comparing a toaster with a microwave.
iphone has great games and gui interface and is damn easy to use but it lacks applications and modifications
get your missus to get an iphone that way u can play the games on hers while still modifying your hd!

I don't know why you feel "cheated" because really, you should have known that coming in.
Also, WVGA screens are not all that popular at the moment - you've bought a leading edge device and support is still coming - wait for the TD2 and TP2, and then you should see a lot more apps coming.
Also, iPhone has the App Store - developers have incentive to make games for /one/ platform (2 if you count iPod Touch)...WM developers have to cater for so many devices that it's almost ridiculous - not to mention that people will just pirate the software anyway.
Wait until the Microsoft MarketPlace goes online for a bit, and you should see a lot more games and apps coming your way.
But honestly? If you got want a phone to play games, then get an iPhone. If you want a phone to play music, get a Nokia 5800 or an iPhone..if you want a phone that you can watching HQ vids on, flash the brains out of, with tons of add-ons, without fear of fiddling around and tweaking that phone until it's uniquely yours, then get a Touch HD. WinMo is not the most user-friendly OS out there...but that's why we have XDA and all those awesome cooks/devs out there!

I could be very wrong but microsoft market place has been online for years. i certainly recall submitting my own applications around 4 years ago.
Just to summarize, I now understand that there is lack of good games for the HD for the following reasons:
1. Software/hardware of every single windows mobile is different therefor, developers do not know what to target. iPhone is what it is.
2. People who buy WM are not interested in flashy games
3. The hardware of HD is superior to iPhone for playing games. But despite this, people are not interested in development because of these reasons.
4. Its easy to download cracked games and stuff for WM devices so developers are losing out.
5. there are ok games out there but most of them have one or more limitations (e.g. sensor support, wrong screen resolution)
6. If you want the fully customizable phone and the joys of playing games on an iPhone, you first need a woman.
7. Microsoft will never do anything to get these problems sorted.
8. Looks like we WM users will never have proper games for our devices.
Depressing thought really.
you're right, it is depressing...but with the new WVGA devices coming out soon, with Windows Mobile 6.5 on the way, we should see new interest in WM devices and hopefully games for them.
and you may be right about the marketplace, but I am sure that Microsoft are planning on releasing the Microsoft Marketplace (or re-releasing it) with WM6.5 launch, it will function in much the same way as the Android version and the Palm version - to compete with the charm of the AppStore

+1 the naked truth!
Windows Mobile
HD is a very good mobile hardware, the problem is the software used , Windows Mobile , which is very limited for the applications versus the competitor system Mac iPhone. I have and I am using both of them for my private business. With the firmware version 3, iPhone is going to be a superior and first in class of technology for the mobile market. No doubt!
Actually you can find a lot of applications and games working very well on iPhone (see appulo.us), meanwhile on HD the selection is very, very limited. In the next future, also the viruses will start to growth around in windows mobile system, and again it will be a problem similar to XP system forced to use antivirus software, etc.
This is the truth, all the rest it’s just a sterile discussion...nothing else.
The way I see it, Blackstone is one of the first major HTC sellers, that makes use of a 480x800 screen res....The newest and coming up models, are to have the exact same screen res.and in addition, the same processor and RAM capacity, like Diamond 2, Pro 2 etc.
So, hopefully, more users will own the same "platform" (mobile phone's specifications)- meaning there will be more room for potentional customers of the developers' programs.
Keep in mind, that the more popular a platform is, the more the developers want to work with it...And iPhone, at least as a standalone device, is by far more popular than any Htc device...
However, consider 4-5 or more Htc models, with the same specs as the HD...Now that should make a difference....shouldn't it?
Lets break this down nice a simple:
IPhone - One of apples "up there own arse" products who stand there saying "Hay we have loads of support from others an were know for our best selling IPod so.....lets jump on the phone market" make it look all shiny an add loads of apps an Itunes Support!
HTC Touch HD - I know let do a phone that use windows, can have the OS upgraded with future possibilites for apps, fully PC compable for access (As not everyone can aford A £800 Mac), A large nice screen, word that is back compatable with older docs and more.
Personaly Apple piss me off as I'm a music producer an there so up them selfs with "Logic Pro - Mac Only".....Oh wait Cubase is multi-format.
You see my point here?! Apple have for me have just bandwagon jumped "cashing in" so to speak on the phone market an keeping all the arps exclusive for the I-Phone much like Logic only for there Macs - yeah good phone but for how long?
Rant Over!

Will the new firmware finally be able to really multi-task? If not, then it still is by far inferior to WM...

RE: "Most really interesting apps are available in some form for WM... The only category not satisfying is in fact games..."
While that is true, the keywords there are "most" and "in some form".
I dont like apple products, and doubt I would ever buy one. But with the iphone they have redefined what people want and are coming to expect from high end handsets.

That is very true... but I think it is only a matter of time until interesting concepts are "ported" to WM... Just look at TouchFlo: This effort of making WM finger-friendly is a direct result of the iphone - and my HD is becoming more finger-friendly with every new ROM released here!
Lets be fair. Despite my love for my HTC HD, I have come to accept that those with iPhones enjoy something greater than what we can ever hope to... entertainment to the max when it comes to games... developers are gagging for it.
also, let us not say that iPhone is for bums and WM devices are for the social elite... the reality is that most users are looking for a, when X equals the benefits of a PDA phone, 'mobile phone with X' (X being the extra), not 'X with a mobile phone' (mobile phone being the extra). I just wish in the case of the latter, X could also include games.
With my HD, I have already enjoyed the GPS with TomTom, WiFi and all the hours of fun it brings, software programming and trying out some random apps (many of which dont work, however had elated prior to actually running them). I dont think an iPhone, despite it obvious offer of sensually pleasing games, could have left me satisfied so, especially when I dont have a missus.
I have to be honest, things are looking up, the need for speed game appears to be an exciting development.

Best games for WM - DEATH RALLY

Hey guys.
Did you know that dos game called Death Rally?
I looked the entire web to find out if anyone has ported it to WM but didnt get much success.
Do you guys know something about it?
And by the way, which are the best WM games?
Jonathan
Dude, I hear you. Still have the dos version by any change, and willing to attach / upload somewhere? You'll make me a happy man.
game
pm me if you want that game! is it playable on touch hd?
Well, there is a Game called "Death Drive" for WM.
http://freewareppc.com/games/deathdrive.shtml
But I don't think you can play it on th HD, because it needs a keypad.
Xtrakt
The best Game for Touch HD is Xtrakt! A free 3D game made for the Xperia, but it works perfectly on the HD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497243
Azgard Defence is nice to but it's not for free.
I don't think a WM version of Death Rally exists, but you could try running it with an emulator. This way could work, if there wasn't the problem with the missing Dpad, and not to mention problems with the screen resolution.
Xtrakt & NFS Undercover (g-sensor version) are prob best games for HD.
Yeah I tried NFS Undercover (Gsensor enabled version) recently and I love it, it is simply the best game I ever played on my HD (including Xtract).

Guys, funny thing.
I simply love my HD, but I dont understand why there is so few cool games for it while for Iphone there thousands.
Well, in fact I understand: gotta be that apple store.
Hoping for things to change.
There is so much potential in THD..

It is not fair that we don't have such cool games.
this is the only reason that I would want Ipod touch or an Iphone. (only for the games)
for the rest, I will stick to my HD
Well, due to the hardware differences, as well as some hardware manufacturers that I won't name (Qualcomm, oops i did) not opening their documents for developers.
Unless there is an optimised universal library for games, that runs the same on all hardware, (like Direct X), you won't see much games like you see on iphones, since apple have the same hardware on all their device.

Do you think its a Windows Mobile issue or is it just the hardware of our HD's that doesn't support multi-touch?
I agree....NFS and Xtrakt are nice looking games, but they can't come close to the iPhone gaming experience. There is a huge difference between iPhone and our Touch HD's when it comes to game graphics and touch sensivity.

Touch HD games - No rival to iPhone

Hi guys
When I bought a HTC Touch HD a while ago, I got it as it was seemingly the best rival to the iPhone. I do like the HD. But one thing I wanted was decent apps like the iPhone had, esp games. Looks like the only game that the HD can boast about is Xtract, on every thread on here, thats the only game ppl talk about. Where are the games that I can play that shows it can compete with the iPhone games. Everyone sitting on the train playing great wee games on their iPhone, but I have Xtract to play, or stupid wee puzzle games with no graphics, pretty dissapointing. Can anyone prove me wrong with this and point me to great fun apps and games for the HD? I dont see the point in slagging the iPhone, if its clearly better when it comes to the fun aspect to the phone, which is why most people want these days.
Cheers guys
Martin
I tottaly agree with you...
you think exactly in the same way as me...
im so sad with my Touch HD too
nice point....
tbh, the touch hd is not really a games platform, its more of a getting things done type of device (something i think it does very well). Sure, it would be nice to have some extra games, but i bought this device to help keep myself organised as well as do some cool geeky stuff and my hd still does that fine. Maybe you simply bought the wrong device?
lol, i think that i bought the wrong device for games and apps...
but to browse the web and read some study things it's nice
i wanna change it, but i didn't see any really good device to replace it
so i will wait for that...
I don't know. I think it's pretty nice being able to play Starcraft, Warcraft, Heroes of might and magic and various other old pc games on the blackstone. Don't think that's possible on the iphone.
Other than those, you still have games like monopoly, asphalt, guitar hero, need for speed undercover, call of duty, assasins creed, fifa, prince of persia etc. etc. Lots of games, really.
regards
LOL, all these games are "Kid games"...
i think that the we need games like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-i5xYMY6bw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zOOaPQ4hiE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5PX10ASE3E
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbUVpApFS7k
i think that these example talks better than anything...
I'm asking the same question: why can't we have cool 3D games like iPhone? I think Xtract and Experiment 13 are the only 2 games which showed us that it IS possible on our devices. So why are there only stupid 2D games with ugly qvga-like graphics (gameloft)?
I've played only two really good games (unfortunately both 2D) on my device: Archibald's adventure (made in Czech republic ) and OpenTTD. Most of other games are useless and not pretty funny/exciting...
I dont wanna 3D games with stunning graphics or something like that...
i just need something like this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yZSsqj5hLA
games
Well there are several reasons for the lack of games on the HD2
1) Gameloft give iphone a better version because they make more money.
On windows mobile most users look for cracked software.
2) THE BIGGEST ONE: Developer tools: Iphone has 2 and 3D compilers that are optimal for making games. Microsoft tools will piss you off , and takes longer to make games.
3) Proper feedback: Alot of up and comming developer like myself have seen where you release a freeware game and hear tons of compliants!! Like ohh this game doesnt have multi-touch its crap. Mean while they dont understand that not all developers have access to the best tools.
The solution is simple , consumers must tell Microsoft give developers easier and better tools to work with. That way we can deliver bettter games to you. Us developers need your help to make better games.
Here is a screenshot of Resident evil on touchpro2 , looks nice. I dont know when it will be released though.
i would like also to play very nice interactive games, but with all the functionalitys of wm6.5
i never wanted to buy a not adaptive system like iphone, just only to play games..
yeah the tools for wm6 is also a crap... the problem is that many wm6 phones have different specifications, this problem apple dont has...
but everything that gone wrong on wm6 and older,.. its going to be a way better on wp7. finally...
working on
Yes most developers are getting fustrated and consumers as well. Alot of the problems with resistive screens , so there is no multi-touch. Iam working on this resident evil 5 port, but its so tough. I cant make it 3D but just trying to make it fun for people to play. This screen shot is what I done so far.
yeah dude, that's nice...i support you in this project, do it!!, it's fine!
i think that i should change my device, ther's nothing ahead in Wm 6.5
bubble breaker, solitaire and pac man, that's all....
i think that Android and iPhone can give us a "little" more...
tims demo
Here a demo of a really fun game Tims key Quest. The controls are easier than most action platformers and the graphics are simple and smooth. Try it and tell me what you think. Android is not really that good trust me, but the iphone is a monster . Iphone is good and has solid games . I think people buy thier games because its 99 cents. Thats why I price my windows mobile games for only 99 cents , because after buying the phone, your broke.
If you want me to add more games here just let me know!!
I think you're being a little unfair on the WM platform.
I use - and have developed for - winmo, android and iPhoneOS , and can tell you that the MS coding solution is FAR superior AND easier to develop for than either of the competitiors. xcode is one of the worst programming environments i have ever seen, and every iPhone developer i've spoken to has said they wish they could use visual studio instead.
As has already been mentioned, WinMo devices are more 'tools' than 'toys'. You don't get a winmo phone for playing games, you get one becuase it's reliable, versatile, and well priced. The iPhone - while being great to wave in front of your friends in the pub - is crap in EVERY other respect. They break VERY often, the code is nightmarish, and you can only do what apple WANT you to do with it. Contrary to what you may think - the hardware isn't much higher spec than the standard winmo devices at the moment (worse in many respects) . WinMo has many classic games available including the Quake and Doom series, Guitar Hero, Lemmings, all the PopCap games, and many many more....it's not meant to be a gaming device though. As i said, it's a grown-ups phone...a tool...for getting work done. It just happens to look good and perform as-well or better than the iphone while it's doing it
Having said that, i'm glad to see you're making progress..keep it up and good luck )
Can't we all just play Pocket Uno and get along?
There are so many excellent games for the HD I don't even know where to start. Countless 2D platform games and shooters, countless puzzle games, stuff like SCUMM for playing classic quests, various emulators, RPGs (Creatonia, Zenonia), strategy games, any board game you can imagine.
You also have 3D shooters, but those are generally not so fun to play for the lack of multi-touch. Multi touch would help make it playable, but seriously, you need a gaming system to enjoy a 3D shooter, there's just too many controls needed for it to be enjoyable on any phone.
i think you're buying the wrong device dude
iphone is more multimedia + game phone
so if you want buy a device for listening music, play game, maybe little suft internet
iphone is your right device for u
Windows mobile is PDA...
with winmo you can change user interface.. cook rom... remote pc ...etc
and the app in winmo is more for help you at work.. not for fun maybe or serius work
not for much fun like iphone...
well I have different opinion becoz i fall in both categories
Game and Business
first thing let me clear one thing is HD is not a gaming device its more business phone. But its not like you won't have games on HD I have NFS and other game which works awesome on HD.
iphone is not a business phone and they made this phone only for teenagers who want music and fun. its not multitasking and not like HD so forget comparing your HD with iphone. i don't like iphone becoz they are so arrogant.
XDA not allows to post crack tools or games otherwise you never complain about games on HD
you can google it and you can find N number of games which work on HTC Touch HD
One best thing which i love for my HD is its work gr8 with Garmin Maps becoz of this i can drive in any country . Now this you won't get in iphone and its not tat easy

[Q] N-Gage Emulator....?

So I found my old N-Gage the other night in a box. A few games and one of them was the awesome game The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey. Game had potential but was dumbed down by the low power hardware of the N-Gage. Does anyone know if there is a emulator for the N-gage on android? Nice thing about the games is that it is easy to copy the game data off it as there is no encryption.... Could be awesome to play this with an emulator that would allow you to speed up the game a bit... thanks in advance.

Edit: I am going to venture that no emulator exists..... did some searching around and fond nothing but an emulator for PC.... but then again all the links for that PC emulator for N-gage were dead......hmmmm
I have emailed Bethesda thanking them for making these awesome games.... and asked if there were plans to release either a new game for android/IOS and or a remake of Shadowkey with updated graphics and of course Xperia PLAY support. I seriously doubt anything will from this but still, doesnt hurt to ask.. if others are interested in this idea please email Bethesda at the following link:

Dont even think there is one on PC! Shame really! As a Big 40K Fan! Always wanted to check out Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death. (Ave Imperator)

oh yeah !!!!1
elder scroll i the best game i've ever checked
High_Seize
Pathway_to_Glory
Pathway_to_Glory:_Ikusa_Islands
Best turn-based strategy games, ever. And only for N-Gage. And my n-gage died sometime ago
PtG was like Jagged Alliance in WW2. I played that game through tens of times.
I think there was a n-gage emulator for PC back in the days. Though I am not so sure anymore.

Love Turn based strategy!!!! Never know about Pathway to Glory but need to check it out! Thats what we need more of on Android! Would love to see a mobile based version of X-Com! (Know somebody did a version for WinMob years ago! Hopefully with the new remake inbound!!!!!) or Jagged Alliance! (there was a Nintendo DS version i think!). Julian Gollop needs to bring some of his Ninja Skills to Android! (Got most of his games on my XPlay with emulation!!!)
I bought a Motorola RAZR instead of that phone.... worst mistake ever :'(
Mile High Pinball was one of my favs
Did anyone ever play the ONE ... ?
lol, you read my thoughts. The only elder scrolls games we could run on our phone are shadowkey and arena (daggerfall is still to laggy i fear); of course an android remake/release of whatever game in the series would be amazing. Anyways, even if there was an n-gage emulator, the screen would be pretty much half black :\
i've never played shadowkey, though. How was it compared to the main series? In terms of world size, things to do etc.
Only 2 games Id want on android tbh.
High Seize and Pocket Kingdom. I could SOOOO see Pocket Kingdom with todays Multiplayer ability.
Also I love my Ngage QD. Sad that Ngage arena is no more. Also The Civ 2 port on ngage was spot on.
I do rem winning 2nd place in the high seize ngage arena tournament. Only cause my FINAL game.. I was a different color and I mis looked at my units lol.. But still won some nice swag.
Btw, a remake "might" be in the works? http://insomniacgamers.net/IGForums/index.php?topic=1467.0
Sorry for bumping this but, someday someone should really release this for android.
There have been a lot games I enjoyed on N-gage:
- High mile pinball (Playable also on the newer Nokia phones but plays best on N-gage)
- Splinter Cell (Maybe not impressive now, but back in the day I played this out over and over.)
- The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey
- Xanadu Next (Some may dislike this but I love Xanadu!)
- Catan (Is out for Android I think, but I would prefer playing this version once again.)
- Ashen (Great shooter, never finished it would love to some day.)
- High Seize
- System Rush (Nice wipout clone.)
- The Roots: Gates of Chaos (Great RPG!)
- Worms World Party (Remember winning 1rst price in the tournament on N-gage arena.)
- The Sims Bustin' Out (I think someone will shoot me for listing this, but its a fun advanture and I love it.)
- Rifts: Promise of Power (Great RPG!)
So if anyone can, please DO make an N-gage emulator.
There are loads of great games, and I bet there are more people who would like to play these on the go once again.
Kind regards, Stefan.
What? You didn't mention pocket kingdom? Lol

oh yea man the one was a great game !!
Ah yes how can I forget Pocket Kingdom great game aswell!
One was not bad, but not really my game.
See people, there is enough reason to make an N-gage emulator...
Kind regards, Stefan.
I loved King of Fighters Extreme and Asphal Urban GT2 from the N-gage
Well pocket kingdom was fun. Play offline then go online vs others. Someone is trying to remake it for android. Also civ 2 port was great on ngage.

N-Gage emulator for pc
There indeed is an emulator available to run N-Gage applications on a PC platform.
It comes with the Nokia SDK for the S60 platform.
It can be downloaded on Nokia official site.
Other cellphones that run N-Gage applications: N73, N78, N81, N82, N93, N95, N96, and the Nokia XpressMusic 5320.
Does any one have experience making emulators?
