Support for the Nokia N-Gage has been removed from SDL3 (but will make a
|
||||
comeback when newer compilers are available for the platform).

# Nokia N-Gage
|

|

SDL2 still supports this platform.

Many thanks to:
|
||||
|
||||
- icculus and slouken for always making room for us <20> even when we show up in 2025
|
||||
still waving the N-Gage flag.
|
||||
|
||||
- The Nokia N-Gage [Discord community](https://discord.gg/dbUzqJ26vs)
|
||||
who keeps the platform alive.
|
||||
|
||||
- The staff and supporters of the
|
||||
[Suomen pelimuseo](https://www.vapriikki.fi/nayttelyt/fantastinen-floppi/), and
|
||||
to Heikki Jungmann, for their ongoing love and dedication for the Nokia N-Gage <20> you
|
||||
guys are awesome!
|
||||
|
||||
## History
|
||||
|
||||
When SDL support was discontinued due to the lack of C99 support at the time,
|
||||
this version was rebuilt from the ground up after resolving the compiler issues.
|
||||
|
||||
In contrast to the earlier SDL2 port, this version features a dedicated rendering
|
||||
backend and a functional, albeit limited, audio interface. Support for the
|
||||
software renderer has been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
The outcome is a significantly leaner and more efficient SDL port, which we hope
|
||||
will breathe new life into this beloved yet obscure platform.
|
||||
|
||||
## To the Stubborn Legends of the DC Scene
|
||||
|
||||
This port is lovingly dedicated to the ever-nostalgic Dreamcast homebrew scene <20>
|
||||
because if we managed to pull this off for the N-Gage (yes, the N-Gage), surely
|
||||
you guys can stop clinging to SDL2 like it's a rare Shenmue prototype and finally
|
||||
make the leap to SDL3. It<49>s 2025, not 1999 <20> and let<65>s be honest, you<6F>re rocking
|
||||
a state-of-the-art C23 compiler. The irony writes itself.
|
||||
|
||||
## Existing Issues and Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
- For now, the new
|
||||
[SDL3 main callbacks](https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/README/main-functions#how-to-use-main-callbacks-in-sdl3)
|
||||
are not optional and must be used. This is important as the callbacks
|
||||
are optional on other platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the application is put in the background while sound is playing,
|
||||
some of the audio is looped until the app is back in focus.
|
||||
|
||||
- It is recommended initialising SDLs audio sub-system even when it
|
||||
is not required. The backend is started at a higher level. Initialising
|
||||
SDLs audio sub-system ensures that the backend is properly deinitialised.
|
||||
|
||||
- Because the audio sample rate can change during phone calls, the sample
|
||||
rate is currently fixed at 8kHz to ensure stable behavior. Although
|
||||
dynamically adjusting the sample rate is theoretically possible, the
|
||||
current implementation doesn't support it yet. This limitation is
|
||||
expected to be resolved in a future update.
|
||||
|
||||
- Dependency tracking is currently non-functional.
