Nokia 3310 mod uses Raspberry Pi Pico to run a game on its original screen
Hoani Bryson won Nokia 3310 Jam 8 with his game, Trick Shot II.
The game jam asked people to make games that looked and sounded like they belonged on the classic Nokia phone, but the games did not have to run on one.
The 3310’s original screen is 84 by 48 pixels, and its keypad has 12 buttons.
Bryson’s game was too advanced for the phone’s original hardware, so he replaced its internal parts with a custom board powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico.
He kept the Nokia’s original screen and keypad, using them to play the game.
The project shows how a small computer board can give an older phone the power to run a new game while preserving its familiar controls.
