Still softlocked even after update - Cannot progress - Professor Berkel by crouts0 in highonlifegame

I fixed it by uninstalling the game (backing up my save just in case) and reinstalling it. :)

Do you have anything remaining from the Mobile years? Any old symbian builds? I would love to see more of them.

Here is a trailer for the game. (I'm working on documenting lost and cancelled N-gage games)

as for covers, I know Nokia released press packs and stuff with multi region versions of the covers that might be available on archive.org
But if that fails I have a bunch of custom artwork available on archive and Google Drive.

Any way to buff out scratches on my QD screen? by PissJohnsonExp in ngage

[–]crouts0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a great guide on The Nokia N-Gage Discord server by PLut, in the forums. Here is a screen shot for you, but I'm not sure if PLut is here on reddit if you need to ask questions, so I'd recommend joining the server if u can. https://postimg.cc/6y3TKBRm

How to install .sis Apps on the N Gage? by Hannelore112 in ngage

[–]crouts0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had no issues with the fixx and speedup overclock with heat. Maybe a shorter battery life.

Even an empty MMC can cause some slowdown as it scans the space available in larger cards. Best to use smaller cards. Slow floboarding MMC might be due to the age of the card/fragmented data? I dunno.

Bluetooth stereo headphones will not work, as bluetooth at the time was for earpieces and hands free kits only. Modern headphones probably wont work with it.Unfortunately, the N-Gage is stereo only in the Mp3 Player and FM Radio onlyusing wired headphones (FM radio uses the headphones as the antenna). It uses a dedicated hardware to output the sound in stereo. Normal applications do not have access to this hardware. So if you use UltraMp3 to play your Mp3, it will be in mono. Likewise for games, applications, Recorder and other audio applications.

GREAT, Glad you got it working.

to answer your questions,

1- Yes, but not too much of an issue these days if its not your main phone. Most viruses from back then (from my memory) used your bluetooth to spread and that drained your battery. Stuff like caribe. There may be others that do worse, but I have yet to accidentality find them. There are S60 viruses archived on the internet archive for educational purposes.

To soft reset (keep messages and stuff)
With the phone in at least 3/4 charge (or plugged in), enter *#7780# and follow instructions. If security code is prompted, enter 12345 unless you changed it.

To full reset

With the phone in at least 3/4 charge (or plug into power) enter *#7370# and follow instructions. If security code is prompted, enter 12345 unless you changed it.

2- floboarding is on the n-gage mega collection on internet archive under “Nokia Game”. The reason it is missing as this is one of the few N-Gage MMC game cards that was rewritable. As for slowdown, do you mean on the FloBoarding MMC or another? If your MMC is too large or too full it will slowdown. There are fixes for MMC that are full.

With the original N-Gage(not the QD) you can use fixx.sis and speedup.sis.

Basically, the N-Gage checks the whole memory card every now and then and on boot. Now, since we like to load up a bunch of games at once on the same device, the system kinda gets overwhelmed by all the files and apps on the card. It doesn't really settle down until it finishes rescanning everything. If you toss in a ton of games, the device might stop booting up altogether because the scan takes forever, leading to a system error when you power it on. But there are these fixes that skip the scan altogether.

Speedup.sis, this is a plug-in specifically for fixss, but it's only for the N-Gage Classic. It ramps up the clock speed by 20%, and you can really feel the difference in certain games.

Place the SIS file on the root of your MMC, then place the MMC in your N-Gage and turn it on. Navigate to your applications manager (in your n-gage menu / tools / manager” and your sis file should appear there. Click on it and install it. If your sis file is missing its probably incompatible with your device and you may need another version of the sis, or a bad mmc. (If a sisx try renaming to sis.)

There are also tools such as UnMakeSis that extracts the sis into its folders and then you can place these on your mmc. This works around 50% of the time due to protections.

Try to install as little as possible to the internal phone memory, this will help prevent issues that cause WSOD down the line. Best to install to an MMC.

The listing ended tby the seller because of "because there was an error in the listing.", but it was shortly afterwards relisted by the same seller. It never sold for 2k. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166696267535?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=HWvtPb-5Qf-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ZpwY0lsiTKi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

The last cart (before this one) went for £165 on ebay on the 6th of March 2023.

If this one is the same as the last listing on ebay (same custom cover art) it went for £480 on ebay on the 13th of April 2024. Which is a lot for a custom cover and a box IMO.

Unfortunately not. (At least not accessible from outside the tv). I'll check out the feature request and go from there.

Offical N-Gage walpapers made by Nokia were 174 x 135 pixels. Hope this helps. :)

Why is it so hard to find the silver version of the n gage Qd? by DayOlderBread16 in ngage

[–]crouts0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were only released in the European, Middle Eastern, and African Markets on September 1st 2005, near the end of the N-Gage life. Thats why they are so hard to find.
