About EKA2L1

EKA2L1 is an emulator for Symbian OS and the Nokia N-Gage. Instead of emulating the phone's hardware in full, it emulates the Symbian kernel and reimplements most of the operating system's critical app servers and libraries, which lets old Symbian games and applications run on current machines.

It is written in C++17 and developed in the open on GitHub, with over 6,000 commits and builds published as artifacts. It suits people who want to revisit N-Gage titles or other software from Nokia's Symbian phones.

  • Reimplements Symbian kernel and system services at a high level
