6600 game problem

Interesting question, how do I delete n-Gage games on my Nokia 6600?

Easy, just delete them from the e: using a filemanager program (not the in built nokia one).

I hope this discussion doesn't go any further then this.BTW:Anyone who promotes usage of warez doesn't deserve any kind support.

I figured it would be ok to help then to remove such programs. sorry if its not.

N-Gage games on the 6600 are cracked and as such are illegal.

Therefore, the discussion of how to install/obtain/remove them is not permitted here.

j2k, I was just wondering,

if you own an N-GAGE and legal MMC games, can you use the said game (in any varying format) on your 6600 (legaly I mean, not is it mechanicaly possible)?

No,its not legal.The only way you can have N-Gage games on the 6600 is if their protection mechanism or encryption system is bypassed/hacked/cracked/broken which is illegal even if you own the game.

its funny this is a simlar discussion to the CDA one - personally I dont understand how it can be illegal for a person who owns what is technically a harddrive to back it up. Whether or not it breaches the companies policy there are also data protection laws in many countries which protect users and any electronic data they may own.

It is illegal to make a copy of a DVD, music CD, and radio programme for backing up or or other reasons. I also wonder how many schools own the correct license to show video's to classes of children?

pasa,you are still breaking a law,and i'm not talking about a company policy here.

I guess I am trying to be devils advocate here and just offer the other side to this argument as I think it is a very important subject.

There is an example where Linux developers purchased Xbox's and modded them by loading software and changing the configuration of the original harddrive. When connecting to the Internet using the harddrive - Microsoft sent a script which determined the setup of the harddrive and reformatted it.

This was considered an illegal move in Germany where it is a prisonable offence to delete or alter other peoples files on their hardrive if you dont have permission.

Although this doesnt directly relate to the debate at the moment I feel some of it is relevant in that when you buy the Game deck - you are actually buying the hardware and I dont see how it can be considered illegal to do what you want with that hardware within your personal space, cracking softare and protection, or whatever you want to do.

I think if you did this and then tried to resell for personal gain then you are crossing the line.

But also this example shows that alot of pressure can come from huge company's about such issues yet they can be let get away with incidents in which they are in the worng purely becuase one man doesnt stand a chance against them.

I guess what I am trying to say is that yes its illegal but morally is it really an issue - afterall the cooperate greed of the bigger company's drives them through many illegal practices so who is in the wrong?

who actually gives a flying hoo haaa if u break a law , u buy the phone u pay for the phone u spend 300 notes on the phone then they charge u another 30 quid for a game that is equivalent to a segamaster system graphics but its legal for them to rip you off , charge u wat you want tell u wat u can do with the game and so on , wats next u buy a car and they tell you ur only allowed to drive it at times they say and tell you ! ! ! !
i make music ive had my music ripped off over the net on kazaa and so on , UNDER SWISH , i dont care , i made my bit , once they bought the tune i say do what you want with it ! ! ! ! ill gaurantee the programmer wont lose out he`ll make a good 2 million b4 it gets developed he`ll be sat in a phat pad with a merc , a lovely wife 2.4 children , why most of us are just every day guys not even touchin 25g a year and shellin out 2 weeks wages for a phone , MAKE THE RICH RICHER AND THE POOR POORER , thats all it is he wont give a flyin hoot if u copy right it , cos all copywright go to nokia anyway FACT N GAGE GAMES ARE DEVELOPED BY SAY NOKIA AND MR NOKIA LOSES OUT , YEAH THE NEAR BILLIONAIRE ALREADY doesnt even have shreholder`s all by him , the developers get a cut , but wow he`ll miss out on a million less than the 20 he already probably has

excellent points of view from both of you.well done....

I think we are going off topic here with the music and 2.4 kids but since you mentioned it:Most Symbian third party application are made by small developer companies which can't afford to get their application pirated on the day of its release.When that happens they really lose money,so why would they stay in a non-proffit busines?They wouldn't.In the end,there will be no more small time companies and the ammount of good third party applications will be quite small.That will hurt the Symban platform because the only way for a platform to grow is with a good third party base and in the end it will hurt the consumer.

The discussion was whether or not its legal to backup N-Gage games in order to use them on other devices but the N-Gage.Even though i might agree with you that it is morally correct if you bought the game but in the end,tehcnically its still illegal and believe me,i know what you mean when you say corporate greed,just look at TCPA or DRM.
We can continue this discussion as it is but we can't allow posting of any information on procedures/howto's to backing up N-Gage games.

If you want things to change,do something,make a online petiton,e-mail Nokia official with you suggestions.BTW:The next wave of N-Gage games probably won't work on other devices,even if cracked so i hope Nokia gives the user legal means of backing up N-Gage games.
