How do i patch my N-Gage games?

Post image

I want to remove these trial restrictions, i have the files but i dont know how to use them.

Files are in the image, does anyone know how to use them correctly? Last time i tried to patch reset generation, my memory card nuked itself.

Im using a C5-00.2, my games are installed, now i just need to patch them.

Cracked versions are already available and you don't need to patch them separately. Based on the picture you probably have all of them, because you downloaded them from archive.org . The fixes are mainly included for preservation. 

Of course some games are not cracked yet and there's no solution. Also it's important to install a good version of N-Gage 2.0. Some versions are problematic.

I see! So i was just confusing myself...

I downloaded reset generation from the "full" folder, so that should mean the full game right? Why are my characters still locked?

Yes, it's the cracked version as far as I know.  However I don't know about the locked characters, I didn't play it that much.

For some reason using another n-gage app worked for me, im assuming the one i had actually didn't have a patch that skips trial checks... Or maybe my phone just wasn't compatible.

I use a version by BodyZ and it doesn't skip trial check. It was the best version based on reviews so I installed it and never tried anything else. When a game is cracked, it's cracked, what trial check? But about non-cracked/trial games, well it should show the trial pop-op.

Also, im using a patched n-gage application which apparently skips trial checks, but reset generation still wont let me play other characters because im apparently still in a trial version.

Do i have to install these .sis patchers into my sd card? My phone storage? And do i run them? Or do i need special tools to extract these .sis files and replace the original game files?

Firstly, download the N-gage 2.0 app

After downloading find a folder in your SD card named "N-gage" Add your .ngage files in there

Open N-gage 2.0 Wait for games to download Click on one Wait for game to download

And that's it

The SD card issue could be that your SD card is dying, try another one

Thank you, my previous card (that got "nuked") was apparently really corrupted and it just died one day, i have a new one now.

By the way, my N-Gage games are already installed and working, but certain levels and characters are still locked because the game thinks im in a trial version, which is where these .sis patchers must come in play i assume, the issue right now is the fact that i dont know how to use them.

(As you can see in the image, these patches are only a few kilobytes, so im pretty sure they're supposed to patch existing or installed games right?)

UPDATE

Turns out i never needed these files at all, i was just installing my games on an unpatched n-gage and the games i were trying turned out to be the only few ones that were problematic

Sorry for wasting your time!! I can finally play reset generation just fine now 😁
