History
bent started development on EKA2L1 in 2017 or 2018, submitting progress reports on Patreon and Reddit (via r/emulation). In February 2019, he quit Patreon in order to focus on reverse-engineering the N-Gage and reorganizing the central repository on GitHub, but would continue posting progress reports on the emulator's website. While Symbian's source code was publicly available, it was incompatible with the N-Gage.
On March 18, 2023, bent announced he would spend less time working on EKA2L1 to focus more on his personal life.
