Why there is't an Ngage emulator at retropie?

ARTURUS

Retropie is a great program, and support many systems even some of them in early experimental stages.

Thats why i surprised the old Ngage is found nowhere.

Its wast so powerful a weaker than a ps1.
I dont know how hard its programming was but it mostly java.
And okay its dont have many games but it has more the 50 and 2 dozen of them is exclusive and there is some hidden gem.
Think thats more then a neogeo pocket color or an Atari lynx can uphold and we have emulators to bouth system.
I hope we get Ngage emultaion in the future!

@arturus no-one has written one (or there is no open source one I am aware of)

Lol: "I think what's really killing N-Gage emulation is the fact that almost no one cares about it..."

ARTURUS

@alturis Sad there is a lot of really good game, but think people dont know about them, has much more imresiv lineup then neogeopocket what has onli 1 third paryta sonic. For example Ashen is one of the many examples:

These are the types of threads you see emulators born out of. I remember seeing a guy on the WiiBrew wiki lamenting the fact that there was no Vectrex emulator to be had. A regular kind of jumped on him a few hours later and told him that if he didn't like it, he should develop one. Turns out that from the time of first post, the OP had already begun work on VectrexWii, which I believe ultimately became the basis for the VecX core we now have in RetroArch.

@mediamogul Hope the prophet speaks from you :)
Sadly im a technical analphabet :/ If i know more then where is the power button in my laptop i alredy wood start working on it :(
A year ago i speak about is 1 of my software developer friends, he has an acces to an old nokia dev forum and give me a file name S60_5th_SDK_ASP_v1.0.1 what he sed a dev kit for ngage, but of course i cant say what it is :((((

But it definitely deserve it it even has a total exclusive eldelscrols game:

Shadowron

@buzz Actually, there is. It's was build for Windows, not working and development has been suspended.

@shadowron that is not yet an ngage emulator, but interesting.

That said, the NGEmu emulator has some basic CPU emulation and some basic system functions HLE'd.

Shadowron

@buzz You're right. My bad, didn't read the full readme. But hey, it's a start of what can become an emulator at one point.

ARTURUS

@shadowron That was what i get. Sadly as a sad im not a technical man so if anybody understand it i would be glad. https://katastrophos.net/symbian/mirrors/delight/SDKs/

I don't think the ngage was popular enough to really warrent one. That'd be like having a tapwave zodiac emulator.

ARTURUS

Not qiute, it has a few dozen good and exclusiv game, please name me a zodiac game what is only on thet system and good.

mediamogul

I've come across game play videos for years and the games do look pretty good. I'd play them if it were an option.

ARTURUS

Can somebodu understand this, who gave me said the S60_SDK_3.2_v1.1.1_en.zip is a developer emulator for ngage.
