Nokia F***ed Us All 6600 Owners!

[DarkSaber]

Seems that the party is over and all the new N-gage releases will not work on my beloved 6600..sigh!!I think that Nokia ,along with improving protections, keeped the 4k display even on the new QD to make the games unplayable on other phones...infact Splinter Cell it's been out for months but none of the really skilled symbian groups out in the scene managed to make a patch or a something like that to make it run on the 6600 64k screen,so probably Ashen will have the same destiny.I hope that The Sims will b fixed (seems to b afflicted by the same sort of Fifa 'bugs'),but i'm not counting too much on that...Marcel Desailly Soccer doesn't run either,but everyone keeps saying that's really crap,so it doesn't matter...
I'm no millionaire so i'm not going to buy an N-Gage due to the fact that here in my country retailers keep selling games at a whopping 40/50 Euros!! :-x That's way too much!
If prices drops down at a reasonable level i will b the first to buy original games,but for now NO WAY!

[momagic]

i aint got no 6600, but i hope they will work on it as im lookin to get a 7610

[Goshogun]

I have my own 6600 and i don't want to put N-Gage games on it...well i don't like them all.

Want to play N-Gage games? get the N-Gage. Thats what Nokia wants to do because N-Gage games are made to be played on the N-Gage nokia is doing...and i don't think they are wrong by doing this.

They are wrong when they apply price like the ones i mentioned before..that's the right way to encourage and support piracy...how you can pretend to buy an original Puzzle Bobble (the worst version available on all machines) for 40E?
By the Way 40/50 E are far too much even for the slickest game on earth!
Learn from Infinite Dreams...killer games for cheap prices!
I Love Them! :D

[iNF|NiTY]

Sims wont be fixed, its not the same problems.

And you wasnt fucked at all, you are not even supposed to be able to play any n-gage games! think yourself lucky.

[leespud]

yeh 6600 owners should be greatful for the games they do have!!!

[Musicb0ffin]

Why not get an ngage and pirtate the games anyway? Or do they have to be off the mmc or somthing?

[tzeonn]

quit whining and get a ngage, lol :lol:

[cdoverlaw]

why should we buy a £400 phone and then fork out for a n-gage as well which is inferior, nokia should make the games compatible so that sales will be increased

stop takin things for granted, u shld be happy previous games can work, which wasnt meant to happen in the 1st place.

[Quake3000]

well atleast hope somone can crack those game so it work for 6600 too they make alot of money on that phone anyway but hope it not are a hardware thing that do so they don`t work on 6600 then it will be impossible to crack it :rolleyes:

[DarkSaber]

You are damn right,we were all lucky to play n-gage games on our 6600 (thx BLZ!) but i'm a bit sad because almost every 'first generation' n-gage games were a little on the crap side...now seems that developers take n-gage more seriously and real slick games are on the way...i'm a big fan of doom-like games so i was excited to try Ashen on 6600 but this will never happen...anyway luckily enough 6600 gets a massive support from third party developers,so lack of games will never b a problem on it.and,yes,SkyForce reigns supreme!

[Musicb0ffin]

You don't see mcdonalds release a new burger, and it being sold in burger king, do you? Think about it, Nokia is a international company, not some guy working out in his garage. They have to develope their products and make money. I'm with nokia on this. If you want Ngage games, buy an ngage. If not, shut the fuck up...

[Sony_Ericsson]

I have a 3650 and can only play a few crappy n-gage games, but i don't whine about it. Maybe I will get an n-gage if I can get it really cheap.

[Iceman5]

lol.... its funny listening to all u n-gagers. ur soooo happy that the games wont work on 6600 anymore. ur smiling form ear to ear... finaly u got the games all for urself! and ur laughing of us sitting there with the phones in our hands, looking stupid...

i must say that i would love to get the sims working on my phone... but the rest i dont care about... i tried ashen and i dont really think its all that good (sure its an improvment form red faction but anyway). 1 person shooters are never good without a mouse... i dont really feel like im connected to the game becoz i dont have a fully control over the character. even on n-gage the 8 way pad wont do the trick... its too slow and it only has one movement speed.

there are a few other games that i would also like to have in the future. but most look only decent and if u ask me there are too many 1 person shooters that are almost exactly the same.

if ya want the games, buy the gage (lol)! i agree... but thats out of the question for me. ill still have plenty of sis and jar games and apps so i dont think ill ever be bored about the phone. totaly worth the money....

im happy for u n-gagers that the games still are crackable :)

[GARETH197901]

i already have an ngage but will be looking into buying another near christmas as a mobile shop near me sells them sim free at £90,i think they are pretty good and the games that are coming are getting better all the time,

[WarezCrawler]

Well i just had to register so i can say this is a great day for n-gage owners , im not sure if any of you 6600 owners would know what it felt like to find out that our games played on another phone? Why own an n-gage i'd ask myself? (aside from the fact that it rocks to play games on)
Anyway im a very happy man and as iceman said it


lol.... its funny listening to all u n-gagers. ur soooo happy that the games wont work on 6600 anymore. ur smiling form ear to ear... finaly u got the games all for urself! and ur laughing of us sitting there with the phones in our hands, looking stupid...

That pretty much sums up how im feeling :lol: :D :-P

[Goshogun]

Heh...thats good if the groups cracked N-Gage games to be played on 6600..
thats good for who like to play them on thier 6600 but i don't like filling my phone with games.

[gophermaster]

I can't say that I really care either way whether the 6600 can play N-Gage games. It doesn't directly effect me so therefore it's not my problem.

I don't think it's great that 6600 users can't play N-Gage games, nor do I think that it is a bad thing that 6600 can play N-Gage games.

[maddog17]

in my opinion i say nokia is a bunch off a** holes many people are having a hard time knowing they cant play games on the nokia 6600 i cant but hey i got an n-gage to ;) but that aint the point i mean going and paying more to get a n gage just to play games aint worth it. If they do make games for 6600 or other s60 phones there profits can be higher much higher. we did get f**ked on the 6600 phones what is there to do on them nothing hardly my ones sitting here im thinking of selling soon with my n-gage i have alot more choices it does alot of things.the only think i can put the n gage down for is that it dont have ir link but its still the best phone i say.

[gophermaster]

I wouldn't use the IR port on the N-Gage even if it had one... so it's all good for me. :)

[PsychiatricHelp]

Booo Hoo hoo nokia fucked me over I can't play N-Gage games on my Dads 6110 or my sisters Samsung v200 boo hoo hoo this is fucked I'm losing too much sleep over this boo hoo hoo the worst thing is my wifes 7650 won't play a single N-Gage game boo hoo hoo nokia realy fucked me over *sob

[v7e6j5]

Hell ya! IR port is a joke, Bluetooth adapter or card reader. Now that's fast transfer technology @ work.

[Pou_pee]

With N-gage, u dun even need an extra card reader.

And by the way, I didn't cry when I found out my PS2 is never gonna play X-Box games :lol:

kidding, of course :)

[gophermaster]

That's true. It has the USB cable...


And by the way, I didn't cry when I found out my PS2 is never gonna play X-Box games :lol:


I know I cried. hehehe.

[opz]

i just want sims work on 6600
i hope they fix it

[momagic]

... i did want these games to work on the 6600 man, i wanted it to work so it work on the 7610!! but true.. we do look stupid wen we talk on our fone!


i tried ashen and i dont really think its all that good (sure its an improvment form red faction but anyway). 1 person shooters are never good without a mouse...

so true ashen aint all dat, and true u do need a mouse man.


im happy for u n-gagers that the games still are crackable :)

yep im sooooo happy too :-P :D

[gophermaster]

i just want sims work on 6600
i hope they fix it
Yeah. Lots of people do.

[chintooo]

i reckon it is possible to play the games on 6600 . pls correct me if i am wrong :-P
1> the ngage games can be ported to work on a 65k screen
OR
2> An application can be created so as to make the screen support 4k colors (like in the pc )
i hope this can be done and no offence to ngage users :D

[[R]ubow]

It's possible to play for I have tried Ashen on my 6600... I used my brother's N-gage to install the game in a MMC and used it in my 6600... Well I think Nokia did something to the program- add a new command or something like that which allows the game to be played using N-gage only... for during the intro, the colour works fine initially then distortion takes place... this happened everytime during the transition of pictures.

And then when the game is about to load, there's a sound error...

Someone who know how to edit the N-gage games file will have to look into the program itself for I think that is where the problem lies.

Now then, this causes other issues. If someone works out whats causing the problem and it becomes public. Then surely game writers are going to add that bit of code just to stop people using the games on the 6600. Or alternatively they may well edit it to make them play on the 6600.

It could work either way.

When all said and done, it's a flipping phone, not secretary,diary,calculator,games console,tv,vcr,mp3 player etc;
Ask yourself, 'Does it make & receive phone calls?' if the answer is yes then, why are you whinging??? If no, u need a new phone!

And just in case, heres my analogy.......
If go buy a Ford Escort 1.6 brand new from the shop and go back 6 months later and buy engine parts for a 1.9TD escort would you expect them to fit/work? Yes I know there are some common parts, use ya imagination!

yea ... i guess so too cos i installed sims with my mmc reader and it worked once !!! then again that same sound error bug came ... Ngage games CAN work on a 6600 if only some one could change the protection :)

[mabel]

1. Run ultramp3 and play a song.
2. Run the game (ashen or sega rally)
3. Once passed the point where it was giving ERROR changes task, close ultramp3 and continues playing :D

For 6600 user ;)

[iNF|NiTY]

Its still fucked anyway....

I dont care if it runs on 6600, im just fed up with 6600 losers who complain all the damn time.

[Musicb0ffin]

Yeah, same here....

[KrAzY3]

Fucked you?

Think about it... Nokia screwed up and the games could play on 6600.
Unfortunately they did manage enough protection to keep the legal games from playing. Hence, the ONLY GAMES being played on 6600 were pirated ones. Meaning, they get 0 sales, 0 support from the people using the 6600 to play N-Gage games. Now, fortunately they seem to have wised up a little bit. At least now the 6600 owners willl need a N-Gage to play the games.

Personally I think you guys should be happy that you got any N-Gage games to play. Consider it a gift or something...

[Iceman5]

well if u should buy the games then... coz guess what. most n-gagers downloads the games as well

anyways the fix doesnt work on ashen it doesnt have enough ram.... (looks like we need latest version of system tools + newest firmware). i havnt tested on sega rally tho... and what about sims? can any1 confirm if it works or not? i also tried the power button trick on ashen but the game crashed when i pressed it.... i guess thats a ram problem too

[opz]

the fix work on 6600 for sega rally
but sega rally not good and rally contest better
i will test ashen now
i used mp3player not ultra mp3

[rclippi]

good to know...i dont know why you ngage users cheer so much because these new games dont work on 6600. what´s to you?

[opz]

now ashen work on 6600
i used mp3player
the control is ok and there is no color problem after the level start
but you will see color problem only on the bottom of the screen where there is the health and the ammo and other things
have fun
now i will try a way to get the sims work

[PsychiatricHelp]

good to know...i dont know why you ngage users cheer so much because these new games dont work on 6600. what´s to you?

I'm not cheering I don't give a fuck if they work or don't work on 6600, I'm just saying stop bitching you guys sound like a baby thats lost it dummy. Nokia didn't fuck you over I think they're more concerned about the games working on a Siemans phone not 6600

[chintooo]

NOW we're talking :) :) :)
hot stuff
i really dont understand what the ngage users problem if the ngage games work on 6600 ... stop swearing .... guys just chill out ok ??? PEACE out and be good :D

[PsychiatricHelp]

... stop swearing ....
:-o :rolleyes: :lol: :-? :)

[chintooo]

now ashen work on 6600

yo bro !! what firmware u using ???

[opz]

yo bro !! what firmware u using ???
my 6600 firmware
v 4.09.1

[KrAzY3]

It isn't a matter of cheering...

The N-Gage is struggling from a lack of support. Not good games, as many people here will attest to (Ashen, Tony Hawk, Rayman, Splinter Cell, etc...). Not enough people are buying N-Gages and not enough people are buying the games. Now, hypothetically Nokia could survive the piracy by selling more N-Gages. However, when people can play it on their 6600 then they have no incentive to buy a N-Gage, much less purchase games their phone can't even play. Hence, on paper the N-Gage gains nothing by this. No more units sold, no more games sold...

On the dollars and cents end, Nokia doesn't lose as much. Because 6600 profits go their way. The trick is that it makes the N-Gage look like more of a failure. They can't factor in all the people using the 6600 to play games, and the game makers certainly can't consider them potential customers either. The end result is that EVERYONE, N-Gagers and 6600 owners are likely to get less games to play.

[PsychiatricHelp]

It isn't a matter of cheering...


Dude hardly anyone knows what a N-Gage is & most people don't know what a s60 phone is. There is no marketing for N-Gage in Australia, the only marketing for a nokia phone is for the Nokia 3200 (Ming Mong) at $300. WTF would you buy that when you can get a N-Gage for the same price but then noone knows about N-Gage they only know Nokia3200. If Nokia wanted to sell lots of N-Gages they could at least put up a poster on a billboard or run a comercial on TV. Noone here has a clue what N-Gage is

[chintooo]

yea totally agree with u ... whats worse is that it hasnt even been launched here in india ..... and so many ppl here are getting it frm other places ... its in demand but nokia hasnt even bothered .... very poor marketing by nokia :-P

[gophermaster]

Nokia make COUNTLESS stupid mistakes.

[imranac]

why argue...?
why swear...?

be it the Nokia 6600 or the Nokia N-Gage..
(or even if it's the Nokia 7610 or the Nokia N-gage QD for that matter)

we sure have one thing in common..

its N - O - K - I - A
it's supposed to 'connect(ing)' people..
Edit: I (and most of us) think it's boring to see posts about arguments!
what's the point in arguing which phone is better...!

I've used both the phones and I think both phones RULE in their own way!
So what if the 6600 won't play N-gage games?!
So what if the N-gage looks crap when you hold it for talking?
so what if the 6600...
so what if the n-gage...

guys... grow up will ya!
quit whining..

keep the forum clean!

cheers!

::: no offense meant whatsoever :rolleyes:

i totally agree with u 100% bro .... its really sad to see such an arguement ... the main worry is that ngage games play on a siemens phone ... its not that important that it plays on another nokia phone so guys chill out !! and PEACE :D

[mickey3650]

oh pls... nokia fucked nobodywhy would they call it Ngage games if they were to work on other mobiles? :\ and no moust of the the new games will never get fixed :) just get an Ngage its not like they're that expensive anyway, u can get them for 100€ here in Portugal so.. ;)

[v7e6j5]

Users of other S60 mobilephone took 4 granted that just because ngage is a s60 phone and the 6600 is also a S60 phone. That the games 4 ngage would automatically work. And now that Nokia done something about it users of the 6600 r crying foul play. Keep in mind that they were never 4 the 3650,7650,6600 or any of S60, just the ngage.Remember their called ngage games not S60 games.

[frostieatsicrem]

christ, i didnt know you n-gagers had such a problem with this! and you're saying WE winge?!
what, exactly, is the big deal about a 6600 playing ngage games? to be perfectly honest, if i wanted to just play games, i'd buy a game boy, because there is no way in hell that i'd walk around with an n-gage stuck to my head lookin like a freakin elephant!
but the fact is, i dont want to just play games, i want a phone as well, but one that actually looks like a phone, not a game gear wannabe. i had no problem with the n-gage till i read all of this aggro and now i just feel annoyed that i have to feel guilty about choosing a 6600 and wanting to play a few games on it.
and to the guy that said something about ps2 and x-box's: if i could play x-box games on my ps2, i bloody would! the difference is you CAN play n-gage games on on a 6600, its just a matter of tweaking a whole load of crap i dont know anything about!
and finally, why the hell doesnt nokia market games for the 6600?! stupid bastards would make a mint! think of all the people that fork out a fortune for the 6600. you think they might be the ones with the extra dosh to buy the games!

edit: P.S. what the hell you talkin about 6600 losing n-gage money, popularity crap?! you're telling me that n-gage users always buy thier games and never use a cracked version?

[Barn]

N-Gage users can buy their games legal and so contribute to the platform, but 6600 can't so ultimately taking away from the platform by encouraging things such as hacking the games.

[PsychiatricHelp]

christ, i didnt know you n-gagers had such a problem with this! and you're saying WE winge?!


Dude untangle your nickers! Look at the title of the thread! Read the posts! And you will see that N-Gage owners don't care if they work or don't work on 6600 just because we reply to you guys with "so what buy N-Gage" does not mean we have the problem, we already have the N-gage and can play the games!

[leespud]

n-gage onwers are only responding to the abuse thrown at them by 6600 owners and all that crap, its an automatic instinct to respond that way to such personl abuse, n-gage owners got over the 6600 playing the games back in november, but the sudden spout of n-gage games and their incompatibity issues with the 6600 have frustrated and made the 6600 owners jealous(please no offence ment) and go on and on about it ie this thread that n-gage owners are annoyed, to be honest both phones will be obsolete in about 2months with QD and the 7610 so i dont really care, but i will point out i dont think 7610 will run n-gage games for harware issues, am i correct n-gage games run from MMC only?? 7610 has no MMC support only RS-MMC so i think the curretn batch of phones running n-gage games are the last to except the up coming QD

[frostieatsicrem]

i'm sorry guys, that was a bit ott. fight with the girlfriend. wasnt in a good mood.
i totally see where the n-gagers are coming from. i didnt realise there were so many posts from us 6600 users moaning on about it all.
again; apologies to all offended! none intended!
