N-Gage (later re-released as N-Gage QD) was a mobile phone and a handheld game console developed and designed by Nokia Corporation. It runs the original Series 60 platform on Symbian OS S60v1 (Symbian OS v6.1) with Java MIDP applications and unofficially the games were adapted to several other models, such as the Nokia 6600 or the Nokia 6630. Games in MMC Card format were sold for the platform, and towards the end, games were available for download to your own MMC.

It can currently emulate the N-Gage. Almost all games run without any problem.
On March 18th, 2023, Bent, lead programmer and founder of the EKA2L1 project, announced that development of the emulator will be significantly reduced as they focus more on their personal life. More frequent updates would require new developers to come in and help out.

Overview

Originally announced on 4 November 2002 and released on 7 October 2003. 'N-Gage QD' introduced in 26 March 2004 as a redesign of the original "N-Gage Classic", fixing widely criticized issues and design problems of the original model. It has a size of 2.1' and a resolution of 178x208, which is the common size and resolution for Symbian S60 phones at the time until early 2006. 'N-Gage' was discontinued in February 2006, with Nokia moving its gaming capabilities onto selected Series 60 smartphones. 'N-Gage 2.0' was announced in 2007.

N-Gage 2.0 vs N-Gage

N-Gage 2.0 games run on Symbian Series 60 OS 9. The original N-Gage games run on Symbian Series 60 OS 6. Aside from the fact that the original N-gage and QD models aren't powerful enough (CPU, RAM, Storage etc.), later symbian apps are not backwards compatible with earlier versions. If you try installing even an OS 7 app to an N-Gage or QD model, you'll get an error, or at best it may install the app but not run. They simply require services, processes. features, etc. which do not exist on OS6 phones (nor on OS 7 or OS 8 models) - not to speak of the fact that there will likely be coding differences.

How to play

EKA2L1

1). Go to Nokia N-Gage> Nokia N-Gage & N-Gage QD (S60v1)> data> roms> NEM-4/RH-29> SYM.ROM. Install it and restart the emulator 2a). If your game is already extracted (has a file structure of System>Apps>game_name) copy the entire System folder and paste it in this path of the emulator: \data\drives\e\ 3a). Replace everything if asked. Usually once you are done the system folder will contain apps, libs and programs directories. If you don't have "e" drive by default, just create it yourself. The game folder should be inside of Apps 2b). If your game is in a ".blz" format, go to File> Install> Package and install "BLZinstapp". Close the emulator and put the .blz file here: \data\drives\e\ 3b). Open the emulator again, click on BLZinstapp application, click Option and Install. Once that's done restart the emulator again 2c). If your game requires to be booted by using the MMC ID (like Civilization), go to the emulators root folder, open "config.yml" and add the ID after mmc-id: 3c). Go to File> Mount Card Game Dump> and select your game 4). Run the emulator and your game should be there with or without an icon.
