I Bought a Sony Ericsson Walkman in 2024 for $4 - A Hidden Gem?

[@vascomanteigas9433]

And now a phone can play GTA 4 using Winlator

[@ConstantinTech]

That’s fascinating! How exactly does it work with Winlator? It’s impressive that phones can now run games like GTA 4!

[@vascomanteigas9433]

@ConstantinTech Winlator is a port of Linux Wine and Box64 that is a ARM to x86-64 binary translator. Wine is the old Open source project that implement the Windows API to Linux. GTA IV on Winlator require a decent GPU and Vulkan support, since the DXVK wrapper requires Vulkan for DirectX 11 emulation. Only Snapdragon or similar can handle the task, but improvements are Still made. Also it is better to use a cracked version, as DRM support are Still an issue. Only recently Steam could start on Winlator.

[@arsonburneracc]

also can use Limbo x86 pc emulator which is basically a virtual machine but for android, its just hard to get setup properly

This isnt a boring game actually ... you could not enter the car because you need to get to Uncle Murphys car first at the racing track ,,,,, Good Old days had lot of fun playing this and Gta Chinatown wars on my psp

[@Max_Mustermann]

It looks almost exactly like the first GTA game from 1997 minus the parallax 3d buildings.

[@ConstantinTech]

You’re spot on! The graphics and gameplay style definitely bring back memories of those early GTA days. It’s incredible to see how much charm these retro games still have.

[@KNIGHTFORChristmusic]

W995i is such an amazing phone i remember begging my uncle who owned it at the time to give me the phone for a short time just to listen to music and play game back when I was a kid ! I love this phone just great memories . And I used have a sony ericsson w580i which used love these are great phones and revoke very meaningful and memorable moments ❤!

[@ConstantinTech]

Thank you for sharing your memories! It’s incredible how these phones hold such sentimental value and bring back cherished moments. The W995i really was a masterpiece for music and gaming back in the day, and it’s great to hear how much you loved it. The W580i was another iconic phone-it’s amazing how these devices evoke such nostalgia. ❤️ Do you still have any of these phones or wish to revisit them

[@arar9814]

Everchanging was a nice theme, the wallpaper will change with time and seasons

[@ConstantinTech]

Absolutely! It’s amazing how little details like that made the phone feel so dynamic and unique

[@kurwamamkaca]

Oh shit you just brought back memories of that GTA 4 game. My uncle didn't have this model but he had GTA 4 on his sony ericsson and I would play it with my cousin.

[@ConstantinTech]

That’s awesome! Those were the days, right? Playing GTA 4 on a Sony Ericsson was such a unique experience. Glad this video brought back some good memories for you!

[@SilverXTikal]

I used to connect to my teacher’s MacBook before they needed to be verified to connect in like 2007-08. It was HILARIOUS AS HELL watching the teacher fight the mouse on the projector and only like 8 kids knew what was happening. Every new replacement laptop same problem xD

[@ConstantinTech]

That was a brilliant prank! I’m sure you and your classmates had a good laugh! I even laughed myself, imagining the teacher’s frustration as she saw every laptop and mouse being ‘haunted’, with the cursor moving wildly on its own.. 😂 😂 😂

[@Jsokk_0]

This brings back memories :')

[@ConstantinTech]

More videos soon with more old phones and java games reviews!

[@kaushik6371]

Real gta 4 is not boring at all😅

[@ConstantinTech]

That's true!

[@Mahishasur]

6:26 where is gta 4

[@andreschavez3342]

The snake game and bounce tales used to be my favorite games back in the day when i had the sony ericsson w580i. Any possibikity to getnthem for a galaxy s23uktea android?

[@ConstantinTech]

Snake and Bounce Tales are such classic games! For Android devices like your Galaxy S23, you might be able to find similar versions or emulated apps in the Play Store. Alternatively, you could try a Java emulator app like J2ME Loader to play the original Java versions of these games.

[@neonrain8365]

I’m happy I could say I played almost all of the good games there is for Java phones damn those days were so good.. ❤️

[@ConstantinTech]

Totally agree, those Java games were so good back in the day. It’s great to look back and remember how fun they were!

[@NickoRichard-w4v]

Aint no way all the you playing in that phone lve play too on my father phone is such nostalgia day ❤

[@ConstantinTech]

Wow, that’s amazing! It’s crazy how these old phones bring back so much nostalgia. Playing those games on our parents’ phones was definitely something special. ❤️

[@GideonRodrigues]

12:58 I remembered I played this game on my grandmother's old nokia 3110classic it has software issue so now she uses nokia 105 and I use my parents old moto g4 play and redmi 5a to play java games like snake iii and rally 3d I don't remember more games I played but still it was nostalgic

[@ConstantinTech]

Wow, that’s an amazing collection of nostalgic memories! Snake III and Rally 3D were definitely classics. It’s great to hear you’ve kept the Java gaming spirit alive on those devices!

[@GideonRodrigues]

@ConstantinTech thank you

You’re absolutely right, patience is key! I didn’t know how to start the game or how to get into the car, so I gave up too soon and jumped to conclusions. I’ll definitely give it another shot next time. Thanks for the heads-up! I really appreciate comments like this. It’s always great to learn more about these hidden gems and the memories they bring back

[@SilverXTikal]

I remember this game and the Saints Row Java games. I was dying to play gta on the go any way I could at that time

[@AndroEmu_Clips]

@@SilverXTikal same i used to love gangstar series from gameloft as well,those were pretty fun .. killing people doing missions,investing in movie theater ,,,, bt when Chinatown Wars got released in psp it topped those all

[@ENNEN420]

Theoretically that KZbin app would work if you updated the API key. Some time around 2014 or so, KZbin changed their master API keys which broke the old apps. How you do that on THAT version of the app? Idklol

[@ConstantinTech]

I think it could be an option, but I honestly have no idea how I could do that either, though it still sounds interesting

[@SDRIFTERAbdlmounaim]

Do you have any device or phone that is Square ( iphone 4 form factor ), brand doesn't matter, hold a good charge and is a great music player ?

[@ConstantinTech]

I have several functional phones that might fit your description, but the closest match is an iPod Touch 2 I recently bought from a flea market. It’s a great device that meets your criteria. I’m planning to make a video about it soon, so make sure to subscribe to stay updated!

[@SDRIFTERAbdlmounaim]

@@ConstantinTech ok i subbed, looking forward!

[@ivopanaiotov5800]

Hi, for the games with different resolution, you can change it from the phone options before the game starts.

Thanks for the tip!

This is my phone

[@arunabhsaikia651]

Absolutely! It’s amazing to look back at how innovative they were

[@beryl2487]

Man, you should've played some of the 3D games made for Sony Ericsson phones, like Devil May Cry 3D or Gladiator 3D.

[@ConstantinTech]

Great suggestion! I’m always open to recommendations, and I’ll definitely look into testing more Java 3D games like Devil May Cry 3D or Gladiator 3D in the future. Stay tuned.. I’ll be sure to feature more games like this soon.

[@k.vaishnav]

@ConstantinTech later some days I sell it for my own mistake 😭 nostalgic memories from your video. And played clash of clan and built Townhall 7 and i accidentally my phone got slipped in water then it goes fully sleep.

[@ConstantinTech]

That’s such a nostalgic story! It’s a shame about the water accident, but those memories of Clash of Clans and building your Townhall 7 must still bring a smile. Thanks for sharing this.. It’s amazing how these old phones hold so many special moments!

[@jatayuNp]

I have this same phone in red, but it is nonfunctional now, want to revive it but no spares are available 😔😔

A chance to fix your phone would be if you find another phone for parts and replace the defective part.

[@LearnWithVacantWorld]

How to buy this epic device please help me.

[@ConstantinTech]

I found mine at a flea market, but you might be able to find the Sony Ericsson W995 on websites like eBay or local second-hand marketplaces. Keep an eye out for good deals, and make sure to check the device’s condition before buying!

Yeah, they were pretty expensive back then! Crazy how much things have changed

[@JoCaTen]

ah, the 995, the last of its kind. Truly a beautiful phone even 15-16 years later. I feel proud to own one, has a really good sound system for its time and holds up well too.

Absolutely! The W995 was truly ahead of its time, especially with its excellent sound system and multimedia capabilities. It’s great to see how well it holds up even today. Owning one definitely feels special!

[@KnowledgeVerse.420]

Please Share the link bro. I wanna buy this too! 🥺

Bounce and the other bounce games were made by Rovio not Nokia

You’re absolutely right! Rovio did develop Bounce and its sequels. Thanks for pointing that out.. such a fun game series

[@Azamrock173]

2:38 is the XPERIA Play, the PlayStation phone i've have one 😜

[@ConstantinTech]

Exactly, you got it! The Xperia Play was truly ahead of its time. It’s awesome that you still have one.. it’s such a unique piece of gaming and phone history

[@pixelshaderx]

Before even telling us to guess I automatically recognised that phone is Xperia Play.

[@ConstantinTech]

That's right! You guessed right!

[@neelaveronte745]

Funny. GTA 4 has PlayStation (CD 💿) engine... Camera I mean. Not isometric like some Chinatown Wars (similar setting by the way).

[@ConstantinTech]

Interesting comparison! GTA Chinatown Wars definitely shares a similar vibe, especially with its top-down style. It’s cool how these games evolved but still kept some classic elements.

[@rRamabutimbcertrert_s]

Its looks similar like Nokia N95 which released 2 year before this one from 2006

[@ConstantinTech]

You’re right! The design does have that Nokia N95 vibe.. it’s nostalgic to see how far tech has come since 2006!
