Frodo is a Commodore 64 home computer emulator. It was ported from Christian Bauer's original Frodo for Amiga. Porting for Epoc was done by Jal Panvel and Alfred E. Heggestad. Porting to Nokia 9210 and S60 was done by Hannu Viitala. Frodo was released for 9210 on July, 2001. That was the first C64 emulator for any mobile phone.
The Bilbo library provides more features to Frodo, like audio engine (for sound effects and music), sensor (accelerometer) controls, vibration feedback, on-screen C64 keyboard and optimized screen drawing. To enable those those features, you have to also install Bilbo library, found on the author's website and given only in exchange of a small donation.

Funny thing is that, after an hour of work, I was able to delete the files and my cell came back to normal!
When I said "useless" I ment that every action took about 10 min and more, and just by removing the memorycard my phone good speeded up again.
Will try again later today and see if it just was a bad day yesteday.
EDIT: This time I was able to get both files over successfully, but Bilbo won't install on my 5800. Gives me "Update error" =/
