Playing Quake on an 5800 with BlueMaemo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAZh0BBOfs8

Yesterday I received a feedback comment here, saying that BlueMaemo can be used to control games in some S60 devices (Thanks Hath!!!), so just tried with my 5800 and the result is in the video above :) . Playing those games with the tv-out feature of the phone is even cooler :)

Required software and instructions here.

Note: In order to play Quake 2 in the 5800 you need to turn off OpenGL ES in the game menu.

    [...] Умельцы сумели запустить полноценную версию Quake на Nokia 5800 вскоре после начала продаж модели. Запустить-то он запускался, но вот играть было невозможно из-за недостатка аппаратных клавиш. Однако эту проблему удалось решить с помощью BlueMaemo – Bluetooth-интерфейса, позволяющего управлять устройствами на Symbian S60 с помощью аппаратов на операционной системе Maemo (Nokia N800 и N810). В частности, на видео можно видеть управление персонажем Quake 2 с помощью экрана интернет-планшета Нокиа. BlueMaemo при этом выступает в роли беспроводной мыши и клавиатуры. Подробности можно узнать в блоге Valério Valério. [...]

    @Hath – Yup, I changed the sensibility of the mouse in BlueMaemo and is very easy to play the game on tv :)
