Installing EPOC Emulator

Fedora

  • Install Wine : sudo dnf install wine
  • Download the Symbian OS V5 emulator from here
  • Extract the files under ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/

Running the EPOC Emulator

cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Epoc32/Release/Wins/Deb
wine EPOC.EXE -Me32-sys.ini

This works well for the Psion 5. If you have any other psion device, you would have to supply an initialization file to the -M option other than e23-sys.ini. Refer this complete guide for more such options and instruction for Windows installation.

Hi, thanks for doing this, the link to the emulator doesn't work at the moment, also it should possibly be of course sudo apt install win for ubuntu and debian instead of dnf. I'll give it a try nonetheless.

I was able to find someone who could give me access to the emulators!
