The Nes emulator for the Nokia N-Gage and other Series 60 phones has been updated, heres whats new:[br][br]New features: [br]1. Screen size adjustable [br]We provide 176x208,256x240,176x165,128x120 four options. you can choose what you like. [br]2. Graphics quality adjustable [br]As we should change the size, we must use interpolation. We provide three interpolation methods: nearest, horizontal linear and bilinear. For programs running on mobiles, we must get a tradeoff between speed and graphics quality. We make the choice to users. Bilinear is very slow, and there maybe is still space to optimize. Nearest is the default way 1.0 used. We recommend to use horizontal linear. [br][br]Download from Here

Seen those spooky adverts on the TV that warn "It has been released"? Or maybe you've caught them on this very website? Those adverts are the first foray into the mainstream conciousness of Gizmondo, the new handheld games-and-everything-else system from Tiger Telematics.[br]Okay, so with DS launching in the US and Japan and PSP just round the corner it might not be the ideal time to introduce another handheld - one with no proven track record in the games market. Gizmondo isn't scared. Tiger today announced that they've recorded over 560,000 pre-orders for the unit through its official website.[br][br]According to Tiger, "the majority of these pre-orders originated from outside the UK, apparently with early adopters trying to purchase units ahead of the US and pan-European roll outs scheduled for Q1 2005."[br][br]The official launch date for Gizmondo in the UK was October 29, although don't be surprised if you haven't seen it down your local games shop. At the moment the unit is only available through the official website for 229, and only in limited numbers. [br][br]An actual retail date for the system - which features a 400 Mhz processor, Nvidia graphics hardware, an MP3 and Mpeg4 movie player, GPS capabilities, a digital camera and wirless connectivity for gaming and communication (phew!) - has not yet been set, but is pencilled in before the end of the year in the UK and first quarter 2005 in the US and across Europe.[br][br]Carl Freer, the managing director of Gizmondo, said of the pre-order figures, "This is a fantastic affirmation of interest and these numbers bode extremely well for Gizmondo." [br][br]He's right, but we do have a couple of caveats to throw into the ring.[br][br]First off, this pre-order figure does not necessarily translate into sold units. At present the Gizmondo website is accepting pre-orders on the condition that purchasers will be notified when a unit is available and then asked for their payment details. Freer believes that "realistically at least half of these pre-orders will move to retail sales."[br][br]More tellingly, our efforts to get hold of a Gizmondo to playtest have so far proved fruitless - and not for want of trying. It could just be part of a masterful teaser campaign intended to stoke up interest in the system, but it would be good to see the thing running for real.[br][br]Nonetheless, a number of big name publishers including Microsoft and SCi have been linked to Gizmondo and a Gizmondo store is planned for London's trendy Carnaby Street. Could this mysterious system prove to be a heavy hitter in the handheld wars?

It's been a big weekend for handhelds. Sony's PSP launched in Japan. Nintendo's DS continues to sell like sex. And Tiger Telematics' Gizmondo announces another feature to add to its already Swiss Army Knife-esque multifunctionality.[br]This time it's email. Using GPRS (General Packet Radio Service - a overly complicated acronym that essentially means you can chuck little packages of information around the world via wireless telephone networks) technology, you'll be able to access your POP3/IMAP email (you'll have to get one of these specific types of email accounts, but that's easy) anywhere in the world - with attachments - thanks to tri-band coverage.[br][br]Phew. So, basically, you can send and receive emails on your Gizmondo whether you're in Bolton or Bangkok. [br][br]This cracking new feature nestles alongside Gizmondo's wireless text and picture messenging, GPS, digital camera, and multimedia playback features. Oh, and it plays games too.[br][br]Write Gizmondo off if you want, but you can't deny the other handheld has a pretty amazing list of features.[br][br]While you can pre-order a unit on the official website, no official release date has been set for Gizmondo. Tiger are still promising it'll be widely available in the UK before the end of the year, with Europe and the US following first quarter 2005.

Gizmondo is expected to announce the exact timing of its eponymous handheld games console's US launch next month, most likely at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show.[br][br]So far, all the company will say is that the device will launch in the US in the late Q1 2005 timeframe - around the time Sony is expected to begin shipping its PlayStation Portable in the territory.[br][br]Gizmondo's presence at CES comes courtesy of Microsoft, which will be allocating a small part of its booth to the fledgling console company. The software giant recently committed itself to porting over a handful of games to the console, which is conveniently based on Windows CE .NET.[br][br]Gizmondo - the device - was launched in the UK on 29 October. While the hardware is impressive, its software catalogue leaves a lot to be desired. The company's web site currently lists just four released game titles, with eight more on the 'coming soon' list. To that we can add three definites from Microsoft and probably two more from the same company.[br][br]The console's mobile messaging facilities and GPS technology do provide buyers something to use it for while they await further games releases, but let's be honest here, no matter how much the company spends on marketing - it's currently running occasional TV ads and is opening a shop in central London - knowledgeable gamers are going to want to see a solid list of games before shelling out. Doubly so with the very appealing PSP and Nintendo DS just around the corner. And the DS is already on sale in the US, of course.[br][br]Gizmondo - the company - may well have a business model that doesn't require it to sell sufficient units to get it alongside the Nintendos and Sonys of this world. It wouldn't even surprise us if it wasn't hoping Microsoft will snap it up and rebrand it as Xbox Portable[br]

Tiger Telematics' press statements have called it 'the softest of soft launches', but compared to the razzmatazz of the Sony and Nintendo roadshows, Gizmondo's debut bordered on the flaccid. After signing a last-minute deal with Nvidia to equip the device with a more powerful GoForce 3D graphics part, manufacture and testing of the console had to begin afresh. As a result, the company was unable to supply any units to retail at launch, instead distributing the small number of units it had ready to some of the 560,000 customers it claims have made internet pre-orders. Another casualty of the GoForce switch has been the machine's gaming launch line-up, with the first three titles, SuperDrop Mania, StuntCar Extreme and Angel Fish, delayed until after Christmas. Other titles are being reworked and optimised to take advantage of the machine's newly increased power. [br][br]It's an embarrassing start for the Gizmondo, whose aggressive television and internet advertising had been timed for the launch, but the machine's range of capabilities mean it is not nonsensical as a standalone purchase. Running Windows Media Player 9, and allowing music and video files to be copied direct to the device's SD-card storage via USB 2.0, it is a more immediately credible multimedia device than any other gaming hybrid yet announced. Current owners will also be able to distract themselves with the machine's GPS functions while they wait for the games to arrive. Out of the box, the device is capable of sending an update to any mobile phone number, allowing the recipient to see a map displaying the Gizmondo's (and the Gizmondo owner's) current location. [br][br]After such a disastrous launch, there is a temptation to write off the Gizmondo, but as its developer reveals more of its future plans, there are more and more indications that to do so might be unwise. The intention now is to have stock ready for a full retail rollout, supported by optimised game software, by early February next year.[br] [br]It's not yet clear how big an impact the GoForce chip will have on the kind of games Gizmondo can run; the 'Xbox in your pocket' is a compelling marketing line, but so far the company has nothing to show which backs up its claim. However, there's no question that the machine would have otherwise been badly underpowered going into 2005, so, despite the launch headaches, the new graphics chip has undoubtedly strengthened its position.[br][br]Also unconfirmed at this stage is just how heavyweight the future line-up might be. It's known that the company is in talks with major publishers, and if Gizmondo can gain access to big brand franchises, its gaming credibility will be greatly enhanced for the wider market. Brands alone aren't enough - as the N-Gage's early months showed - but Tiger Telematics is confident that it has the skills to tailor home console hits to maximise their appeal on a handheld. Its recent acquisition of Warthog has given it access to Tusk, a game-porting engine it believes will streamline the process of adapting games. The engine will already be being pressed into service following deals with SCi and Microsoft to launch games such as Age Of Empires and the Conflict series on the Gizmondo. The game pricing policy, which stretches from £10 for the simpler launch titles to £30 for prestige games, also indicates a greater sophistication in its understanding of the gaming market than some of its current rivals have shown.[br][br]Its multimedia ambitions are equally far-reaching. To support the device's use as a music player, Tiger Telematics will be launching a commercial music download website, using the OD2 service which backs Coca Cola, HMV and MSN's European music download portals. The company is also confident it will have full GPS software ready for the February 'hard' launch, making the unit's £230 pricetag seem suddenly much more competitive when compared to £400 in-car units. A car cradle and other accessories will be available to back this kind of usage. GPS also lets the Gizmondo act as a security device: set up a 'geo-fence' - a virtual perimeter - around the Gizmondo, leave it in the boot when you park, and if the Gizmondo (and therefore your car) leaves the perimeter, you'll receive an instant alert to your mobile phone. Later in the year full email support will follow. [br][br]Gizmondo could hardly have more to prove. Recent bullish announcements that Tiger Telematics expects the unit's price point to go as low as £50 within a year sound almost suicidal, but make more sense in context of the device's ability to subsidise itself through targeted advertising to which users can choose to sign up. However, despite trialling the Smart Adds system with 52 advertisers earlier this year, the company isn't able to confirm take-up of the new system. It's the perfect illustration of Gizmondo's current situation - an ambitious promise backed up by nothing more concrete than another ambitious promise. [br][br]However, if Gizmondo's exuberant confidence is justified, and if Tiger Telematics' pockets are deep enough to sustain the company until these promises become reality, then the new handheld war might yet - almost unbelievably - become a three-way battle.

Hi, I just got an N-gage and with it came a cd of games.
I've tried all the install options offered on this forum and nothing seems to work.
Most of the games are ".app" files, and these aren't mentioned on this forum.
I can find the games on the "disk" inside the N-gage by using fexplorer but they won't run.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks
