Haha, its funny.. Now that they've been hacked. No doubt its going to continue. Lets hope its enough to screw over the N-Gage and completely throw them out of the market. I'd like to see that very much.

You can already get all the roms, and an emulator (I think) from Suprnova. But why would anyone want them?

Pretty much. They're either dumbed down GBA ports or dumbed down PSX ports.

Well.. the thing that pisses me off alot about it is.. They didn't even try to make it into an actual console. I mean, the games are nothing special, they can be played on their other phones, atleast some of them.

All they did was take their cell phone, and make it look like some weird little gaming device.

Just a glorified cellphone.

Actually... no... those games don't come anywhere close to being able to be played on any other cell phone.

"The cracked versions of the games can in principle be installed and played on any phone that uses the same basic operating software, Series 60, used in N-Gage. Other models include Siemens's SX1."

Whaaa? But they'd have completely different hardware inside wouldn't they?

Oh, "in principle." So technically, you can install them, but they won't play.

This is assuming the N-Gage uses different interior hardware than an average cell phone.

At that price tag... I would expect so.
