N-Gage service (also referred to as N-Gage 2.0) was a mobile gaming platform from Nokia that was available for several Nokia phones running on S60v2 (Symbian), developed by NOKIA.

Emulators
N-Gage games are packaged differently than normal Symbian applications and have the extension .n-gage and can only run via the N-Gage 2.0 Installer. The game resources are protected by DRM. They cannot use any native Symbian APIs, instead they use a proprietary API from the N-Gage SDK. The N-Gage API is in fact an extension of the RGA API available in the Open C++ plug-in. Only select companies are allowed access to the N-Gage SDK. To gain access they first must be approved by Nokia and sign a NDA.
