n-gage game to mmc?

5 replies · 2,052 views · Started 24 October 2005

The N-Gage game card MMCs are MMC ROM (Read-Only Memory) cards and you can't delete files off it and make it writable (they're too small to be of much use anyway).

Ahha thanks. I was just curious since Nokia told me I'd have to buy a new MMC since I dont know the password to mine.... I tried that mmcpwd.sis thing and it said system error so i dunno...

What do u mean by u don't know? Tell me the story, maybe I can help. Try to format ur MMC using digital camera.

I do have a digital camera, but for some reason it will only take 32mb cards or higher. My mmc is exactly 32mb, BUT for some reason my mmc allways has like some memory taken on it. (even if i format it, but now i cant use my mmc)

Try this:

Corrupted MMC fix

Necessary tools:
- Corrupted MMC
- 7tools partition manager (get it here: http://geocities.com/rulirahm/symbian/7tools.zip, the demo version is capable of carrying out this task)
- Pair of hands
- little brain but not necessary

lets do it PC guru

Article Part one
========================================

Arrow Put your MMC into your card reader, select the MMC

Arrow If your partition is corrupted you will see several invalid partions in red in the left hand pane (MMC drive section)

Arrow Right click each of these and left click delete.

Arrow Click apply (top left button)

Arrow You should be left with a single free unit on your MMC drive. Now right click that unit and select create primary partition. Go with the defaults which should be FAT16 and click on apply.

========================================

Exit and put your card back into your N-Gage. If you find that the MMC card still does not mount via the USB cable (That is if it was mounting prior to corruption). Unplug the cable and put your MMC card back into your card reader.

Article Part two
========================================

Arrow Start the 7tools and select the MMC again.

Arrow In the right hand pain you will see a column that says Active (it will probably be set to "no"😉 click this and set it to yes (That take a few MB of your MMC but it makes it an active bootable drive partition), click apply

Arrow Put the MMC back into your N-Gage and format it via tools-memory-[options]-format mem card.

You will notice that the card is a couple of MB down on it original size but it will now be fully bootable and functional via the USB cable again.

========================================

Keep in mind:
If u formatting MMC card trough windows u could fuck it up if you format in any other partition than FAT, no other partitions like NTFS, FAT32, don’t work!

Thats it, astalavista bay

Hope this help
