Simplifying IT, Amplifying Knowledge

Retro gaming on Blackberry

Published on: 16 December 2024 Category: mobile phones

After getting the Blackberry up and running and finding a way to sideload applications, I enjoyed a few "native" games and then thought about some emulators. I found the retroarch and PPSSPP should work. So first try was the Retro Arch.

Blackberry Supermario

There are a lot of systems that are supposed to work. My first attempt was with the SNES, but I am still not able to load any ROMs, because the emulator still sees only empty folders instead of a list of ROMs. I did try the NES emulator though, and surprisingly it works. So I downloaded an archive with lots of ROMs sorted by genre and am going through it now, but it seems to be working fine and I have not found any problems with any games. So I will play with NES for a bit and then I will try some other emulators, or maybe I will try to get more involved with SNES and try to get it to work.

Blackberry Tetris

By the way, I tried Tetris and spent almost two hours with it... so... don't try running emulators unless you want to kill time.
