I did. Didn't work. Shit! i was really looking forward to playing this. Dammit. Oh, well. I plan on buying a backup N-Gage at some point... maybe I can play it then.
Thanks for the help!

There's a lot of speculation going on in the n-gage arena about Payload being released. Just because letstalk.com isn't carrying it doesn't mean that it won't be released outside the US. I think that it probably will be released somewhere since they released the demo and still advertise the payload website on the front page of the n-gage.com site. Or letstalk could still release it which wouldn't be too much of a surprise since they never seem to know what's going on.

I finally got the game to work. To anyone who gets the icon for the game followed by an error message, try...
"Payload_demo" folder goes in SYSTEM > APPS
"Libs" and "Programs" stays in SYSTEM.
I didn't have a "Programs" folder in there so I just made a folder that said Programs. I pasted the "Libs" folder in the system folder and then tried the icon again. Booted right up.
I had made myself believe this was some sort of Twisted metal clone... something I would have loved. I was wrong.
This demo sucks. I know it claims to be an incomplete build but I have the feeling this is how the final game plays. I can't imagine them doing much to improve what's there already to a point where it would be fun.
I can't see this game being released anywhere, but what the hell do I know? The last year's releases have been awesome and this demo is the polar opposite of "awesome." Ok, it's not *that* bad but it is pretty damn disappointing.
The N-Gage forums have tips on the objectives. I may change my opinion once I play with it awhile (and I will) but I doubt I'll start liking it more.
Give it a shot and see what you think, folks!

I forgot about that one. I hear that the N-Gage was (is?) much more popular in Asia so you could be right. I'd buy it just to have it.

So whats the news on warhammer? And does anyone (classicb) have any pics on the last batch of games?
I think most people who ordered Warhammer have it by now. I just got mine the other day. Here's a picture of the last batch of games for those that want them. I guess these could be the last games.

I noticed the Online Rarity Guide is up to date now with N-Gage releases. So people who use the guide to keep track of games they have and need can do so again. :)
Also if this is the end how many people have already finished their collection when they recieved Warhammer. I'm sure quite a few of you.
If this is indeed the end then I've finished my first collection of games for a system. I even got a copy of Sega Rally and I normally just collect US releases. Anyway its been fun and I'll keep one eye open for Payload if it ever gets released somewhere. LOL

this is the only complete collection i have as well...kinda sucks that i just bought them as they came out, but this is kind of unique to the game world in that if i dont order them the chance ill ever see them anywhere is slim. i hate shopping games on ebay, and i think the per state ratio of ngage collectors is probably single digits...

If there's an upside to the N-Gage not getting any more new games, it must be the hope and dream that none of us never, ever have to talk to anyone at LetsTalk again. My first experience with them was great and then each sucessive one got worse and worse until I, too, was telling the employee how to seach their system for the item I wanted to purchase from his company.
Oh yeah... Payload still smells. I played that demo for almost an hour looking for some fun. I did not find it.
fishsandwich
06-02-2006, 01:49 PM
Hell... I had no idea that demos (possible even full versions?) of the unreleased games Virtual Cop and Alien Front were even available, much less playable.
The Virtua Cop I found has been hacked with Resident Evil characters, zombie sounds, and various RE graphics for the loading screen and such. Does anyone know where to download (the non-hacked version) regular Virtua Cop? Is there a way to get rid of the RE files from the hacked game so it will revert back to VC?
EDIT
Nevermind. I found the original. I much prefer the original to the hack if only because it looks like it was originally intended to look. The original and the hack seem to play the same. The game looks pretty good (not as good as the Saturn, though) and seems to be pretty interesting but you REALLY need a gun for this sort of thing.
http://www.allaboutngage.com/images/virtuacop/virtuacop02.jpg
Alien Front Online plays like DOOM so far.
http://www.allaboutngage.com/images/alienfront/alienfront04.jpg
Still, it's really cool to finally find these games. I think I'm going to put them on individual MMC cards and make a box with insert for it.

http://pickledvellum.com/virtuacop.tif
YES! Many thanks! PLEASE make a higher-resolution scan. That would be awesome. I've got a scan of an early Sonic N box if anyone is interested. The front looks mostly the same with the title being relocated and the art a slight bit different. The spine is all white as opposed to checkerboard white/blue, the back is totally different.
I'll be happy to post links to the demos, but it will have to wait until Monday when I'm at my work PC where I saved the links. If you don't want to wait you can google it. You'll find it if you keep looking and digging, but I'll post the links Monday nevertheless. Try...
"virtual cop" n-gage download
and
"alien front" n-gage download
Both games appear to be complete, not demos. I played Alien Front until the end. It's a lot like the Dreamcast game with PSone quality graphics and smaller levels. I remember beating the Dreamcast single-player game very quickly. I imagine the online game was what made Alien Front Online (DC) so cool and the fact that the N-Gage port of Alien Front (no Online) sees to be missing it is a serious blow to the game. I mean, I finished it in less than an hour (just with tanks... I didn't play much as the Alien race but it seems to be about the same.)
Virtua Cop is actually more fun than I thought at first... it's surprisingly good. The loss of the gun is a big deal and the cursor isn't that fast but it works ok. Like I said... it's no Saturn but it's not terribly far off from a graphical standpoint.

You can download Alien Front from the link below. Just check the "Free" button at the bottom and then wait for the download counter. This is also the site where where you can get Virtua Cop. I don't have the link for it, though. Google it if you can't find it.

Are the "Not For Resale" games worth much more than the normal versions? I came across NFRS copies of Ashen and a few others but wasn't sure if they'd be worth picking up.

So, are there versions of Virtua Tennis with the name instead of a blank space?
Yeah I have both...The version with the name on the spine is much harder to find in my opinion. I bought it off somebody on the boards.
Well, okay. Does anyone have an extra one then?
It begs the question though... Are there other games with a blank (well, no title) spine then?

Help!!!!
I've been talking with Fishsandwich and he has been an incredible help. But I'm still having problems!
I'm trying to get emulators working on my QD- so far all I can get to run is Vboy.
SMS Plus S60 and VNES I can't get to run the roms.
I can run the demo tests that come with VNES but when I put roms in the same folder as the demo's they don't show up when in the QD. ??????
The SMS Plus S60 I just have no clue- no matter where I put roms on the MMC card they won't show up when the card in in the N-gage. It says "Load Rom" then asks which directory to use, but there are no roms in any of the folders.
Anyone else using VNES and SMS Plus S60??? How the hell did you get them to work???
Anyone?
If only it was as easy as the Vboy was........

Thanks for the link to Alien Front. I've been wanting that one for some time. I used to find the box sitting at a local EB Games, but they didn't have it in stock. I told them that it was cancelled and would never come out, and the next time i'd go back there, the box would be back on the shelf again. Finally, after the last time I bought N-Gage games there (and having to hear the sales idiots slam me and the N-Gage as much as possible), I asked them to give the the Alien Front box. Now I have a game to put inside it.
I bought an N-Gage QD the day it came out, and have close to 40 games for it now. I don't bother with the sports games, I never picked up Bomberman because I heard it was abyssmal, and have only bought Atari Masterpieces vol. 1 from letstalk.com.
What other compatible games have you guys bought? I have Atari Retro, which is a Palm OS game that's got a Symbian OS version on the card too. It's got 7 classic Atari 2600 games on it. I haven't seen a lot of other Palm games that are Nokia compatible.

It's great to see this topic still has some life yet especially when the por misunderstood N-gage will not be getting any more new games (it seems.)
I'm trying to put together some boxes for some of the unreleased games and I think a few of you N-gage collectors have inserts for some of the games.
Could anyone scan the inserts in a high resolution? The games are...
Virtual Cop
Alient Front
It would be great to have some boxes for these games. I tried making one for Snakes but it needs work. i'm going to try Payload next.
Anyone?

Well, I guess I'm a bit late to the N Gage collecting area, but I found a game stop that had a few titles left for a measly 1.50 each, I got Chaos Theory, Tomb Raider, Operatiion shadow and Colin Mcrae. As soon as I have some more cash I will grab a console. So far I have been impressed with the console so I can't wait to get into full swing collecting and playing.

Hmm, so I am now in school again, which means I will be posting in the forums way more.
I haven't said anything about my progress (whether you guys care or not, I like to share, hehehe).
After a deal with chimp69 (thanks again), I am down to 5 n-gage games:
Rifts: Promise of Power
Pathway to Glory: Ikusa Islands
X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse
Atari Masterpieces Volume 2
Civilization
I am very close to a complete NTSC collection. Does anybody know if that one dude on eBay is still selling copies of sega rally? If not, I am not too worried about it. I am going to pick up atari vol 2 from letstalk since they are selling it for 14.99 and with my college return, I am going to get the other 4. This has to be the most interesting system that I have collected for. The only really rare things I have seen are the cases for Virtua cop and Alien front (store displays), and sega rally. Everything else is simply uncommon or hard to find, but not rare. A perfect example was splinter cell: team stealth action, that game took me forever to find, but I still got it for 7 or 8 (I think).
Also, I noticed we have a few new n-gage collectors. All I can say is: welcome.
fishsandwich: I do not have scans, but I am one of the people interested. When there are scans, I would definately like to know how to use them, because buying a cheap n-gage game for the case is not very hard to do.

I finally found some cheap ngage games!
I went to a local EB Games and asked the cashier. I've done this a couple of times before and they never had anything. Well I guess they must have found some because I got MLB Slam and The Sims for $1.89 each :D
From now on I'm going to be asking every EB I go into :D
i got my N-gage since it was released in UK, and I am just starting to collect for it (had to finish my game.com collection first, which is like, done this week).
The game Flo Boarding came with the phone, was this a European release only?

Sure... just transfer it over to a small card. I made an insert for mine and used a case from a crappy game. It's not a very good job, though... I keep meaning to redo it.
It's not hard to get it on the card, though. I took elements off Nokia's website to make the insert.

well shortly after having all the N-Gage games I sold almost all of them. I've never had a complete collection for any system so this was a first. I probably would have kept them but I moved to Nicaragua (off topic story) and downsized my collection to 5 games.
right, my little collection so far is coming on nicely.

It didn't say how many he signed but that the first batch would be signed by him. I was kind of disappointed I didn't get one of the signed ones. congrats though as all N-Gage games are pretty limited and a signed one is even more so. look forward to seeing the picture.

I really did not want to spend the money, but the lowered prices on LetsTalk suggest they won't be available much longer and I do not want to spend forever trying to find them. I got the last games I need (11 of them, ouch).
Do we know if any more games are ever going to be released?
Thanks.
Yes, that's what i wanna know.
And also, if not, what's the total releases, and which was the last game?
btw, Auxilla, i had two offers on my Flo Boarding, just to tell you yes...the value is definitely up on this one :-)

The last game to be released was Payload but you can only download it. The last game to be released on a card was Warhammer 40,000.
One must wonder though if somewhere in the world Payload got put on cards since it was so close to release when Nokia decided to stop with the card format.

I heard that you can get some 'third party apps' for the N-Gage, I mean, along the lines of 'Emulators'.
Is this true? What Systems are Emulated? How Well do they run?

I know this thread is LONG but all the information you need is buried within.
NES, Master System, Game Gear, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color work great.
I hear the Genesis emulation is pretty good as well.
SNES emulation is sketchy at best but it's possible and some games are fairly playable.
MAME is emulated well for certain games.
GBA emulation was started but I think it has been abandoned.
Here's a list of the emulated consoles. You can find them at

start the game, message comes up...game need registering to prevent code being used for piracy....fair enough, except my N-gage doesn't connect to the internet.
Tried with a current sim card from my cell phone i use... connected, comes up with a different error....cannot register at this moment, try again later...try later, same message...and so forth. so far it only cost me extra money and no result
For now I requested a refund for a non-working game, unless they come up with a workable solution.

Nice score, they are actually versions of the games sent to various journalists and people in the video game industry. These versions are full versions, although some of them have variant artwork on them. I have six of these versions in my set of games, and they even come with mini cd-roms you can put in your computer! Nice score, you got a deal.
I noticed these versions go all the way through the last game released, WarHammer. I now have 7 of these:
X-Men Legends II
High Seize
Asphalt II
Catan
System Rush
Civilization
WarHammer
and I've seen versions for One, Rifts, Mile High Pinball and Pathway to Glory Ikusa Islands. That makes 11 known versions. Plus I am assuming there are probably ones for Atari Masterpieces Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Can anyone confirm this?
The cards themselves are marked "Not for Sale" just like the loose ones pictured in thread. That makes me wonder if the early N-Gage "Not for Sale" versions came in any cases or were they just loose?
The reason I ask is that I am starting to collect these as well (finally completed my US collection plus Sega Rally!!) and wonder what would constitute a "complete" game. Right now I have 13 loose "Not For Sale" versions, including:
Rayman 3
SSX Out of Bounds
Red Faction
NCAA Football
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Jungle Storm
Ashen
FIFA 2004
FIFA 2005
Pathway to Glory
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
Glimmerati
System Rush (not sure if this is just a loose Gold Master Review kit card)
I also noticed in this thread users have seen or have "NFS" versions of:
Xanadu Next
Spiderman
Sims Bustin' Out
Pandemonium (not marked "NFS"?)
Are these confirmed? Are their any others?
I did manage to see a "For Display Only" version of Tomb Raider, and won it on ebay. It's on the way from Australia. I'll post a picture of it when I get it. For now, here is the outside case:

i have pandemonium. this i think was the first release, and it has no label. i also have spiderman 2, and the sims. someone on these boards had a xanadu next one, but theyre in germany. they made a glimmerati one, so i expect theres a xanadu next one somewhere around. i had a scan of my 13 NFRs, but must have deleted it.
system rush was the first online only game(correct me if im wrong)...so the one you have may be a review copy. the last games available in stores were xanadu next and glimmerati as far as i know.
if anyone has fifa 04 or tony hawk NFR, id be interested. also, any review copies.

System Rush is available as a physical copy with box and instructions... I got one froms letstalk.com. Warhammer 40,000 and Civilization came out after xanadu and glimmerati.

What was meant was that it was only available thorugh letstalk.com, it wasn't released through any brick and mortar stores. The physical versions of System Rush and all subsequent NGage releases were all only available through the mail.

I know some of you are complete, but how many of you are close to complete?
Me personally, I only need 5 more to be complete:
Civilization
Rifts: Promise of Power
Mile High Pinball
Pathway to Glory: Ikusa Islands
X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse
These games don't come up anywhere very often, which means I am going to have to get them off of letstalk.
I am unsure if I am going to get payload, since I am going for complete, cart only, and don't feel like messing with downloads. I finally played the virtua cop and alien front beta's, but I don't put those in my collection (since I don't have cases or anything).
As Soon as I complete the collection, I plan on taking pics. I know you guys have probably seen complete n-gage collections before, but I am going to take pics anyway since I haven't completed a collection yet (I am still biting my bottom lip about buying Jack Bros for Virtual Boy).
Also, If my student loan check goes through a little faster, I should be able to get 12 NFR games as well, which would be awesome.

Student loan to purchase 12 NFR games? How much are you being charged for them? Hopefully not too much. The reason I say is there is a guy on ebay selling a lot of 15 of these for like $20 BIN, and he has multiple lots of the same games. Here is the link if you are interested:

34 more to go, if i counted right:
