The N-gage has been cracked - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Responding to a Tuesday report, Nokia officially admitted that hackers had bypassed the N-Gage's game-card encryption. "Nokia has investigated rumors that the copy protection of Nokia N-Gage game cards has been 'cracked'," company spokesman Steven Knuff told GameSpot. He continuted, "We have found that some of the copy protection mechanisms of some game titles have been disabled and the games made available for download on various Web sites."

Nokia reacted to the news with concern and caution. "We're aware of it and we're taking it seriously," a spokesperson for the Finnish phone-maker told GameSpot. "Right now we are looking into the claims." He went on to add that Nokia would formally respond later today or tomorrow.

Not mention the Nokia 6600 also plays these games.

The only thing I can say about this is

SonicRL · 11-12-2003, 03:08 PM

Hah...They are "N-Raged"

Fremen · 11-12-2003, 04:04 PM

I wonder if they were N-dignant?

Why would someone want to dl something like that when you could get almost the same games, but with better graphics for an emulator?

rockzilla · 11-12-2003, 04:04 PM

Pffft, I'm still not gonna buy one.

I think the question now is: are you gonna buy a 6600?

koopabox0rz · 11-12-2003, 04:51 PM

Yep...it had to happen sooner or later.

phukraut · 11-12-2003, 05:33 PM

why? they do it because it hasn't been done. that's the whole point

Buk · 11-12-2003, 05:38 PM

Yay! Now I can play shitty N-Gage Tomb Raider on my computer! YAY YAY YAY YAY YAAY!

Eldaire · 11-12-2003, 05:58 PM

Why would someone want to download N-Gage stuff anyway... much less pay for it.

TerresqueÜ · 11-12-2003, 06:38 PM

They only sold like 3000 units nationwide anyways, who the fuck cares?

Lestat · 11-13-2003, 12:29 AM

Jeez, already?

Tiser · 11-13-2003, 01:01 AM

You can play wirelessly with other ngauge users right? Thats probably the only cool feature. But nothing beats the almighty backwards compatibility of the GB.

spived2 · 11-13-2003, 01:17 AM

Except for the steep price, the tapwave zodiac is a much better product than both the gameboy advance and the N-CredibleWasteofMoney. I see much potential in it and the games on it might actually be worth downloading to your computer

Mr.Deflok · 11-13-2003, 01:40 AM

Been online to download for a while now, what were they expecting? Emulation to take 10 years like it did the SNES? Fucking morons.

You don't go toe-for-toe with a powerhouse like GameBoy and not have something to show off how brilliant your new system is.

GakFace · 11-15-2003, 08:10 PM

Exactly.. But what I don't get, "... and we're taking it very seriously".. something like that. WHAT are they taking seriously? From what I've heard, the games are utter shit. So what are they really scared of? I doubt many people will play their games for "free".... although I doubt many people will play their games officially either.

dragon2fire · 11-15-2003, 09:01 PM

SirGoreaxe · 11-16-2003, 11:11 PM

I don't wish the n-retarded on anyone but thoes retarded enugh to go out and buy it, of thoes 3000 sales I bet 90% were to its workers at a reduced price.

Haha, pretty sure they are. I really don't know much about the N-Gage, but some websites have given it pretty good reviews.
