Basic

  • You need a:

    • ROM (any devices)
    • A repackage of the Z drive (the same device as where the ROM was dumped). See Dumping section on Wiki to find out how to dump it.
  • Setting up:

    • Build or download EKA2L1.
    • You can launch the EKA2L1 directly and interacts with emulator through GUI, or interacts directly through command line.
    • Use --help if you want to interact through command lines and need list of commands.
    • Install new device through Files/Install device.
  • Installing new device on EKA2L1

    • EKA2L1 has a GUI to install new device. With the GUI, go to Files/Install device. install
    • Your companion En should guide you through the installation. If a sudden crash appears or device revert installation because of falsify reason, please contact the developer for support and fixes if neccessary.
    • If part like determine the Symbian version failed, you should also contact the developers to help improve this automated process.
  • Change data directory:

    • EKA2L1 try to store data within a single folder. By default it's a folder named "data" in the same directory as the executable. You can change the path through GUI in File/Preferences, or change it in config.yml with the key data-storage
    • Note that this does not move the data folder. You have to move it yourself.
