QUAKE III Arena now runs on your Symbian S60 smartphone

28 Nov, 2008
It`s now possible to run the QUAKE III Arena on your Nokia smartphone. And that`s not all - you can also use a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse for playing. The only condition is to have a S60 3rd Edition smartphone...

I read somebody say, N93 was the first with a hardware graphics accelerator. Sorry but you're mistaken friend Motorola E398 was the first to use a dedicated ATI Chip for hardware acceleration of
graphics. Although u can't compare that to what is in today, but only to get ur facts right!!

    C++ rules

    P.S. contrary to the article Quake III Arena is not only for "Nokia" smart phones and you also can't run it on the latest "flagship" N96.

    No hate, just facts.

        Abhinav, 30 Nov 2008Its crap, just installed on my E90. It does not even start,... moreDid u installed the PAK files into ur phone. Cause the game can't work without the PAK files. U can retrieve them from the quake 3 cd. Hope this helps.

        (p.s the PAK files r 400mb n the game takes about 70mb of ur ram)

                  Its crap, just installed on my E90. It does not even start, like the previous ports of Doom. I wasn't expecting anything more from it than just a successful install anyways.

                    And finally don't waste you're money on the N96. It has the one of the slowest CPU's...

                    You'll be lucky to get ngage running on it. lol

                    That phone suxors.

                      To run this game you need quite a lot of RAM and a TI OMAP 2420 processor. The OMAP 2420 has dual cpu with 3D HARDWARE acceleration. The 3D hardware graphics is crucial...

                      This is why the game runs on N95 8GB, N82 and E90. All of them have the OMAP 2420. The game does not run on the n95 classic because it doesn't have enough RAM although it does have the CPU.

                      The Samsung INNOV8 (i8510) has an OMAP 2430 but has a "lite" version of 3D hardware acceleration not as good as the OMAP 2420 so may still work if the developer gets around to supporting it but you will get less FPS.

                      AND FINALLY OTHER PHONES THAT DON'T HAVE THE OMAP 2420/2430 SIMPLY IS NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH. PERIOD! FULLSTOP! END!

                      So if you're asking if x phone that is not listed above will not work.

                          Whether the game will start at Samsung i8510?

                            it's good to hear about that. Hope to hear more games can run later.
