N-Gage games

4 replies · 3,632 views · Started 15 April 2007

As this is a S60 phone, is there a way to play n-gage games on it, i have some lying around that i'd like to play on the N95 to keep me entertained at work. Would they work straight off or would I need an emulator of sorts. I've had a hunt around on the net but I can't find anything

cheers

I got a bunch of N-gage games well working on my Nokia 6600 3 years ago.

If u ever visit Bangkok,go to MBK(one of Bangkoks biggest malls). There they have 3 floors filled with mobile stores. Find one of the dodgiest booths and hand him your S60 phone. In about 15min he will crack and install N-gage app and games of your choice. Truly amazing gamespeed :icon14:

All to the cost of about 300Bath.(8 USD)

Need i say that this may cause problems with warranty...? 🙄

The N-Gage is based on Symbian OS 6.1 and S60 1st Edition, whereas the N95 is Symbian OS 9.1 and S60 3rd Edition. Symbian OS 9.1 will not run any programs from 6.1 due to significant low-level changes - it's not at all possible to run original N-Gage games on it. The Nokia 6600 runs S60 2nd Edition on Symbian OS 7.0, which is back-compatible with 6.1, so it could theoretically run N-Gage programs.

So in summary: It cannot and will not work. The operating system is not compatible.
