bobs wetin Nokia dey find for romance

i dont know ooooooooooo

@iice the model of the phone is N-gage and it has a considerable memory space.

Av u heard what diddy4dt said u cant go pass 100kb use a memory card. Ok?

The 100kb limit is from Nokia, it was done to make you buy the .sis symbian card games which is what the N-gage was positioned to sell, sorry,

Hmmm, drogba. I dont think thats the case.

there's no 100k limit on Ngage games. I know this because I have owned an ngage for a year and a half now and still play craploads of games on it.

The problem the ngage has is that it supports only midp1.0.  Any midp2.0 java game will NOT work, and yes, many of them are above 100k.

the only reason for this is that lazy nokia recycled the 3650 version of java for the ngage. They probably did this because, as seen on the 6600, symbian ver2 is slow on 1st gen series 60 hardware, and the last thing u need on a gamephone is slow speed.


solution:  only play midp1.0 games. if u want to play the others, buy a more recent phone.

My argument is still valid because Nokia want to sell their .sis gamecards too. if not, there's absolutely no reason not to include midp2.0 capability. N-gage can run .sis which is more tasking than java 2.0 games. it's a marketing strategy ok,

Actually you are right, but have a few facts mixed up (just a little)

Ngage card games are *not* .sis files.

sis games are symbian games which will work with any series 60 phone (3650, 6600,7610, etc)

There are *many* free sis games, and they are by far more advanced than most java games, because they are native to the phones and java is not.

Ngage card games are a whole different ballgame. If, like me, you are a shameless bloody pirate you will get them as folders with programs and data that yopu put ontoo a normal MMC card. I have 4 games on my ngage mmc at this moment this way. If you buy them legit, they come as those *same* folders on a special mmc that can't be copied (unless you are an ubercracker)

from the above you can see that there is no marketing reason to exclude midp 2.0 from the ngage, considering that the ngage is already capable of playing even better free games.

The reason midp2.0 is not included is simply because the ngage is a duplicate of the 3650. I own both phones and have written programs for them. The ngage suffers many setbacks because of this idiotic decision by nokia, but I can't blame them because the (even worse) 6600 shows what happens when you try to shoehorn an advanced phone OS onto inferior hardware.

Also, the ngage had to be cheap. Instead of subsidizing, nokia went the daft route and used outdated hardware. their loss,

if N-gage games are not .sis, what are their extensions then?

.sis stands for 'symbian installation system'

its a method for packaging games *for download*

an NGAGE game is never meant to be downloaded. its supplied on a card. as such, the game doesnt have an extension- it is a collection of files representing programs and data. In fact, sis and jar files contain similar structures, but, as I earlier noted, archived into a singular file.

You will find that most software for symbian phones, even non-nokia phones like the p800, are stored in .sis files.

@dakmanzero :How then do we get to know midp2.0 games?

@Bamiprof :So much for ur n-gage dat dakmanzero & drogba av to slug it out 4 u.
Lotz of luv on Nairaland!

Unfortunately, there isn't really a way to determine what midp it is, if you are pirating it (which I assume you are)

if you are buying the game,then it should be plainly stated on the site which MIDP the game is targeted at.

but we are all bloody pirates anyway so just fire on with trial and error. Try it , if it works enjoy! if it doesnt, cast it in a bin and move to the next one. Life is short, gotta enjoy what u can when u can,

Ok now! Datz d deal!
