View Full Version : HOW TO INSTALL NGAGE GAMES FOR DUMMIES !!
Vasteel 26th January 2005, 16:28 No offence to anyone just trying to qoute those Dummies books that you can find at any major book store.
Anyway as you know by now this thread is for people who are unsure about how to install those Ngage games which they download from this forum, into their phone.
without further ado, i shall begin...
First off....pick a game...any game.
in this case i'll choose my favourite of all "Asphalt". That's a kick ass game.
As you can see on the pic below i highlighted and circled in red the RAR file of the game
mod edit:i made this sticky
Vasteel 26th January 2005, 16:34 If you don't know what a RAR file at this point, don't worry I'll explain some other time but for now just know that its a compression file type.
you will need an application called WINRAR to open and view whats inside
if you don't have it already, you can get it by searching "Winrar" on the NET
for those of you who know what a rar file is just double click it and you will get a screen like this the one below
Vasteel 26th January 2005, 16:37 It may seem confusing with some games but try to locate the system folder inside the maze of folders within the RAR file......
In simple English....keep clicking all those folders till you get a screen like the one below
Vasteel 26th January 2005, 16:41 Next....please connect your phone to your computer if it's not already connected......................................
Your computer should detect the phone and a box like the one below will appear............
Vasteel 26th January 2005, 16:48 Double click on the "Open Folder to view files in windows explorer"
option and you should get a window like the one below
Vasteel 26th January 2005, 17:04 Now comes the final part !!!
What you really want to do is to click and drag the "System" folder in the RAR file , into your Phone.........as shown below
Vasteel 26th January 2005, 17:13 Now upon doing the above , your computer will prompt you that the folder Exist and wether you wish to overwrite it. Choose "yes to all"
Tada !!!! You have successfully installed Asphalt !!!!!!!! This method should work with other games as well. Its NOT the best and only method, but its one method that is easy and works !!!!!!! feel free to ask me any questions.I'm not an expert but i'll try my very best to help..........
Cheers....
VASTEEL
N-GAGE w/ the PSP 27th January 2005, 01:26 Double click on the "Open Folder to view files in windows explorer"
option and you should get a window like the one below
There is nothing below....I'm new to this stuff, just got a n-gage phone. I don't have a clue how it works. :roll:
m0r0n 27th January 2005, 04:19 that's not very correct to do so...
u can click and drag the whole system file but only when you have no other games or apps in your mmc..will be much betta if you get the completed libs by dmoe and just click and drag the 6RXX file into the mmc..
the most hardest part will extracting the file, cos it will be abit confusing..asphalt is quite easy since u dun have to unpack it...
leventero 27th January 2005, 05:36 hai vasteel.got a question.
when you choose to overwrite de system folder of F: drive. isn't the excisting files /games/apps also overwritten?
Vasteel 27th January 2005, 15:20 Yeah It'll overwrite all existing data but non of the important ones........
Vasteel 27th January 2005, 15:31 It's obvious that who ever uploaded these games , copied the game out from his or her phone. logically , only the game files (eg. 6676 , 66r4 etc etc.....) and the libs folders and any other folders needed to run the game properly would be in the System folder right ???? So hence by using my method, The only type of files you'll probably risk overwriting is those in your Libs folder , game folders and any other program folders that is required by the game.In any case , whats really important in your phone is your Contacts , Messages , Ringtones , Pics , Music & Videos. I've put all this into consideration and using my method wouldn't cause you to lose all your data.
Besides..........I already said that this is not the BEST method but its ONE method...
True !! The toughest part is Extracting the game from the compressed RAR file.In fact , I was thinking about doing a tutorial on Extracting RAR data, but I'm abit busy.Anyway, just to cover myself with a lame excuse, this thread is only for INSTALLATION and not EXTRACTION , I think i pretty much explained myself. :D
Cheers
edan1979 27th January 2005, 21:15 my comprehensive guide is for extraction and installation without any picture... read it... and understand it.... i also dont know how already to explain this thingy.... i have used the most basic language so everyone could understand... even my 8 years old cousin could understand it and install the game himself... if u cannot undersatnd it more than my 8 years old cousin... then something is wrong with you guys..... :P :P :P
daxie 29th January 2005, 08:51 Next....please connect your phone to your computer if it's not already connected......................................
Your computer should detect the phone and a box like the one below will appear............
what software do you use for connecting your fone to the PC??
PC suite never works on my sys........i use bluetooth to transfer stuff.....but i could never work it up to get my MMC on explorer in the PC
Mark 29th January 2005, 20:29 i use bluetooth for transfers to but when i transfer the n-gage games on to my n6600 it apperas unknow file format. i think its beacouse of blz.
iīve searchd for a blz installer in the forum but i couldnīt find one.
coulde someone plz give the link to dowload a blz instaler? i would really apreciate.
Mark 29th January 2005, 20:31 sorry for the wrong spelling. i usually donīt look at what i write :D
edan1979 30th January 2005, 07:58 have u ever heard a search button... no.. then go to ngage direct games link... u !@#$$%#@^#%$ :evil:
saeun666 12th February 2005, 14:50 wat about for those who dont have a card reader or a connector, bluetooth users
daxie 15th February 2005, 13:54 i don't have a mmc reader.
i use bluetooth to transfer files to my fone and install them cos PC Suite never worked on my PC
if it's a .blz file, good. all i have to do is send it to my fone and install it with blzinstapp
but it is a n-gage ready game, i have to transfer all files to the fone and then move them one after the other into respective folders using fexplorer or seleq
does anybody have a solution to shorten this tedious process??
Coolhand 26th February 2005, 09:56 Is it possible to install N-Gage Games on the SX1 which have the ending .blz like "tomb.blz" ?
I hope that you can help me.
Greetz Coolhand
SeM165 27th February 2005, 15:56 posible :)
playst 1st March 2005, 02:02 Thanks for the good efford in creating this "Install games for dummies guide"
:P :P :P
savager 5th March 2005, 11:47 does this method work on my 7610? i only know it worked for my bro's ngage QD..
and.. how do i uninstall it since its not in the form of .sis?
3xplor3 9th March 2005, 22:15 thanks man~~~
lovekonadj 12th March 2005, 00:03 does this method work on my 7610? i only know it worked for my bro's ngage QD..
and.. how do i uninstall it since its not in the form of .sis?
yes it will work but ngage games are limited models compatibility, meaning not all games can work properly.. like CrashNokia, the colors are messed up in my N6600.. if you like to install games.. better search first and it is important u read the comments given by other members if the game can work properly in their mobiles.. in that case u can get info with different people using different models and installing different games..
about deleting..
just delete the files and folders you've copied in ur mmc..
hope this help.. :D
savager 14th March 2005, 05:03 hmm.. so u mean i can just carry the whole system folder over to my phone right? just like what i do for the ngage QD? but how come i read the FAQ on installing games on 7610.. it sounded so complicated.. =s
salman1 18th March 2005, 10:14 thanks~~
:D
Daz71 28th March 2005, 12:55 thanx m8y i was a little confused by another walkthru on how to get ngage on my phone before but now it seems easier.
starmate 29th March 2005, 17:26 so when i send a n-gage ready game file like fifa 2005, i have to send the systems folder to my phone, ( using bluetooth ) , and use Fexplorer, to cope the system file into my systems folder? can some give us bluetooth users a tutorial guide? thnx!
PuPpYpWr 30th March 2005, 12:11 in addition to my collection of nokia phones, i have aquired an N-gage QD today, now my big question is can you install more than one ngage ready games onto the mmc by using the copy systems over to the mmc
edan1979 30th March 2005, 13:28 no.. the original mmc for ngage games... READ-ONLY... cannot be overwrite... if u delete the files it will lost forever...
ImPeCcAbLE 4th April 2005, 14:09 i use bluetooth to transfer the files.. while i m transfering a msg appears on my cell screen saying memory not enough and the transfer fails :S there is no option in my msgs to turn my saved msgs from phone mem to mmc :S

i have the same problem :( id really like to play this game so plz help :lol:
I have a question:
I installed two games on my N-gage (classic) using the drag and drop method - worms world party and The roots (got both from here).
After i did it, i was shocked to find that the icons for all my other apps (fexplorer, smartmovie, quickoffice)disappeared :cry: I restarted the phone, and they were there again, but now they randomly disappear after using any app. The icons for the two games i mentioned NEVER disappear.
I have a Verbatim 512MB MMC and I never had any problems before this.

The problem is definitely not your MMC card size or brand.....let me see......you recently just upgraded your MMC card ??? If yes then did you reinstalled all the applications again or you simply just copy everything from the old MMC card to the new ????
Don't Fret if that isn't the case, I believe the problem should go if you uninstall and reinstall all applications again..this is so that the phone will reregister all those applications again and in doing so hopefully it'll rectify the problem of the phone not being able to detect the app.
Please keep me posted on the situation and please understand that i'm stuck in the army on weekdays and can only reply secretly
lunasicc 14th July 2005, 09:26 I have a printer that reads different types of memory cards ( Canon MultiPASS MP390 All-in-One Printer ), and was wondering if that would work as a mmc card reader/writer?
One more question, is this tutorial used to install only 1 game on the N-Gage? Or multiples?
Thanks in advance.
Mark 14th July 2005, 17:47 @lunasicc if your printer can read your mmc card then it serves as a card reader. i use my printer too.
this tutorial is for installing all ngage games. they are all installed in the same way even if theere are more then one.
BR
lunasicc 24th July 2005, 02:41 Hi, I read this post and I want to thank you guys a lot, but I have one problem. After successfullying installing a few games on my N-Gage QD, there are a few games that after dragging the "System" folder, instead of overwriting, it copys a "System" folder inside of the original "System" folder. When this happens, I am unable to play that certain game. So far it happened to Splinter Cell : Chaos Thoery and King Of Fighters. I haven't tried any other games but those are the ones I've tested that create their own "System" folder inside another "System" folder. Any solutions to this problem guys?
Thanks in advance!
lebron178 4th September 2005, 07:21 Any other link to dl n-gage games??
Wayne18 16th December 2005, 15:38 the system file is hidden...u need 2 change the file u wan 2 copy...to system...then can copy over..
cholak 16th December 2005, 22:17 Ok. i know how to install ngage games,but what whit those that are simple sis
games that have 2 or 3 mb(angelfish)?.When you try to install,it says,you dont have enough memory.Phone is Ngage.
There is no way to install it directly to mmc, it first goes to the memory of the phone,and then ask you where you wanna instal it?
omartx 5th January 2006, 20:13 I tried install part 1 of a ngage game and i tried to open it through fe explorer
but the screen turned red and it kicked me out of the fe explorer do i have to install all the parts at once or what ? any help ?
Mark 5th January 2006, 21:37 yes you must install all parts at once using the card reader. just overwrite the data.
abedel2 12th January 2006, 08:06 I need some help, I got a 512 card and a card reader, and so what I did was drag a couple of ngage games into the memory card and then put my memory card back in but when i try to open the game app it says system Error , do I have ti install it through the phone like what you guys are saying or is there another solution to fixing the problem?
Mark 12th January 2006, 17:38 it must be through card reader. are you shure if you installed i correctly? and which phone do you use? some ngage games are not compatible with certain phones.
eros_jam 13th January 2006, 05:43 i was wondering, when i tried to download ngage game it is in .blz format which we all know can be installed on blzinstapp. this is the question <b>can i extract the contents of .blz file so that i just can copy and paste it to my system file @ my memory card to make it eaiser???</B> is there such an app... pls help because im wondering how could i apply this drag and drop method if i had the .blz file...
Mark 13th January 2006, 20:08 no you must use blzinstapp to install blz files. there is no other way. anyway those types of files are not used anymore. team blizzard never realesed no more games.
abedel2 14th January 2006, 07:13 I have an Ngage QD, And I did it through a card reader, All I did was basically copy and paste the ngage folders from my computer to the MMC CArd, And it wont work so that is why I was wondering if I had to install it into the card or do something else,
tulatgdd 14th January 2006, 12:38 You can copy and paste system folder into the root of your MMC card. Very easy!!! Try a gain!!!
abedel2 16th January 2006, 04:19 Now, I am still new at the whole cellphone thing, and this question is going to sound stupid, but what is the root of the MMc, My card is blanck and all im doing is co[ying and pasting into the mmc card there is no folder i see viible that says mmc system folder or anything alse so what is the root of the MMc?

when using a card reader the rooth of the mmc its the first set of folders that appears on th windows explorer. you must change your view options on the explorer to view hidden files. the system folder is hidden thats why you canīt see it.
abedel2 16th January 2006, 21:17 I now you probably hear this all the time but thanks allot man, and yeah im an idiot so you dont have to say it, but one day hopefully Ill become an expert at this stuff
lakestreet 18th January 2006, 06:20 Hey are you guys doing, I have one quick question, When I drag the ngage game into the hidden system folder it doesnt ask me to overwrite any files, am i doing anything wrong, am i supposed to drag it on the computer or do it by phone. if you guys could help me out
edan1979 18th January 2006, 08:30 if there is no old games or same dll files... it wont ask for overwrite...
lakestreet 20th January 2006, 04:25 OK, but I still have the problem of not being able to play the games, let me start from the beggining, I have a 1gb mmc card and it doesnt have anthing on it, I click on veiw hidden folders it doesnt show any hidden folders to show the root of the mmc but it doesnt show any folders, now when i copy and paste a game folder into the card it doesnt ask to overwrite anything, and when i try to open it on my ngage phone, it says something like system error or memory full, I open the game through Fe Explorer, but it wont open, so whats going on here???!??!?!
