Hackers Have Cracked N-Gage Application, Alowing It To Run Pirated Games On Other Devices
According to Pocketgamer, it seems hackers have cracked the new N-Gage application, allowing it to work on a host of other Series 60 devices. Few online forums offer users a download link to an application saying it works on Series 60 v3 handsets including the E65, 5700 XpressMusc, the N73, N71, E51, 6110 and 6210c.
Some forums also offer a five-step process to get the application installed on these handsets, as well as installing cracked versions of N-Gage games. The forums threads has had tens of thousands of views and are claiming to offer cracked versions of N-Gage games, including System Rush Evolution, Mile High Pinball, Space Impact: Kappa Base, Asphalt 3: Street Rules, and Hooked On: Creatures of the Deep.
Nokia has recently cited its strict DRM as one of the reasons why gamers would have to re-buy their N-Gage games if they switched handsets. During its First Access beta trial, Nokia looked benignly on users trying to get the N-Gage app working on non-supported phones, claiming it showed the pent-up demand for N-Gage.
The fact that online forums are offering cracked versions of the games (all one might need to find those are 10 seconds of Google search) might be considered as a problem for Nokia. The company already aware of this issue and supposed to provide more information and details in the near future.
