Nokia N-Gage Working! (somewhat)

Recommended Posts

Thanks so so much @swebley for sharing🤩!

I've tested all the games you have installed. In my tests there were also some games that did not work. But much more did actually work than on my setup! How did you do this?! Even Flowboarding worked.

Here are the games that still crash (sometimes they crash directly, sometimes they crash after the title screens):

  • Snakes
  • MLB SLAM
  • High Seize
  • ONE
  • Glimmerati
  • Habbo Islands
  • Killer Virus (What kind of game is this??)

Thanks again!

Cool🙂. By the way, Floboarding is called "Nokia Game" in the launcher. I've managed to start it from Launchbox by renaming the linked file from "Flo" to the App-UID (0x101facfa).

hi marph i have updated with more working games all but 3

Attack of the Killervirus

 MLB slam

Snakes

could not get them to work no matter how i tried, sorry

you can get the updated version here

Wow! Thanks so much😃!

I guess "Attack of the Killervirus" and "MLB slam" are no big loss, but it's a bit of a bummer that we can't get to work "Snakes" because that one is a really good game (I know it, because I've played it on a real N-Gage). It's strange because according to the compability list it should work (https://github.com/EKA2L1/Compatibility-List/issues/151). Maybe we should make a bug report?

One thing I've noticed about your last "build" version: You kicked out "System Rush". Is this on purpose because it was interfering with other games?

I followed this tutorial and Snakes runs fine with the rom i have.

Has anyone been able to run N-Gage games on launchbox with emulator. I showed the emulator and roms to launchbox, but every time I start it, the emulator homepage opens. The game does not start.

Try the --run option posted above.

I'd love to pick your brain sometime as I couldn't get Flo Boarding to work, but I did come across a potential reason people are having issues with it. In the debug mode, it appears the program tries to open and write to e:\system\apps\Nokia_game\Options\config.txt

The file doesn't exist. I can put a blank file with that name in the directory and it goes further, but then halts when trying to write to it. I'm curious how to make this file writeable. Any thoughts from the community welcome.

Messaged (I don't have FB, only FB Messenger). My problem isn't so much with the shortcut or Launchbox. It's crashing even if I run it directly from EKA2L1. The icon loads. The UID is correct, but it crashes before the title screen. Tried many roms including the one in the zip file.

I have some new info on Flo Boarding and I plan to update this post as I learn more.

using the --mount %romfile% flag does load the game into memory.

Loading the app and then using the "Mount Game Cart" option also loads the game into memory.

These are not quite the same however.  Using the --mount option does not seem to quite load everything needed I've seen several variations  on this with Flo Boarding depending on the environment, but here's one example.

This of course doesn't have any known effect on setups with the game preloaded.
