Came across an article about the s60 developers package 3rd edition and some add-ons Nokia had announced they were releasing. It was all a bit boring till I saw this

"The SDK for Series 60 Platform 3rd Edition, available during 2nd quarter of 2005, will provide developers with PHONE EMULATOR, documents and sample application code and will be part of a bundled offering that includes a free, 90 day trial version of Code Warrior for Symbian OS, Professional Edition v3.0, a new addition to the Symbian OS-based portfolio of development tools from Forum Nokia."

Here's a link to the full article http://press.nokia.com/PR/200502/980433_5.html

Hopefully it'll work with everything, including Ngage games :cool:

The sdks released already have a build in emulator that claim to run almost every game and app.I dont know about n-gage games though as i haven't tried any of them myself.

Yeah i've heard that too but my friend tried it a while ago and said it was over complicated and practically useless for the purposes I'll be using it for (testing new games etc), i'm hoping this one will be more user friendly.

U will probably still have to set up the sdk but If u are testing lots of stuff in a day i suggest u to go for it :)

Could you please provide us a link to download it?
I'd like test apps before install them on the phone (defile the registry, make the system heavy), could i do it?

The SDK that is out now can already run S60 games and apps, maybe N-gage games. But u need Visual Studio or Codewarrior to install it.

Would be nice if someone made a stand alone emulator, that runs S60 and N-gage games on a PC.

hey guys... from what i know about da sdk and the emulator is this: u cant run all .sis apps and games on the emulator. the .sis files that are compiled 2 run on da phone wont work on da emulator. so if u wanna test an app in da emulator u have to get the right .sis file (some apps r made & compiled 4 both for emulator & phone).

..um.. If we're talking about the S60 SDKs provided by Nokia (VC/CodeWarrior), the emulator doesn't run software compiled for the phone. The (current) emulator is a sort of hack for debugging purposes and doesn't even on all situations behave in same manner as the "real" S60 environment.

By saying that the emulator is for debugging purposes I mean you need to separately compile the code for the emulator, and the compiled code is x86 stuff at that point.

And by saying a sort of hack I mean that the code usually needs to be compiled with the matching SDK for the SDK's emulator.

But yes, it does suck. Much. :(
