This is first post on Qt App development series on Symbian. In this series I will describe how I made a new user interface with Qt for AntSnes. The same Ui will be later be used with gpsp and psx4all.

The mobile UI should be pretty much different, than the desktop UI, so there are some challenges ahed. I’m still sure that the UI will be a lot cooler than the old AntSnes UI with Symbian Avkon layer.

The UI will made with two separate views. The emulation view, and the settings view. The are both inherited from the QMainWidget, and they both are controlled by viewcontroller-class. The ViewController is only responsible to call hide() and show() functions to widgets, so there’s allways the correct view shown on the screen.
