N-Gage finally available for the Nokia N97
Posted by Norman John in N-Gage, N-Series, N97, Nokia
It’s been a long time but finally Nokia’s gaming platform, N-gage, is available for the Nokia N97. Albeit the N97 isn’t listed on the N-Gage website you can download N-Gage by opening the ‘Software update’.
There you need to download ‘N97 C: Phone memory update’ first and than the N-Gage application. After the download and installation process are finished you can navigate to the ‘Games’ folder and start enjoying the new N-Gage application. Unfortunately, not all N-Gage games are available for the N97 but you’ll find some good games for sure. After downloading the first games I noticed that the games are not fullscreen but 4:3 ratio. Why? Fullscreen would look much better.
Update: You can download N-Gage from here as well

The reason why majority of the games are in 4:3 instead of full screen (16:9) is 1) Most creates were ideally created for screens with 4:3 aspect ratio and 2) the N97 screen is so big that playing games on full screen would reduce the frame speed – i.e. making the game run slow and laggy.
I go for software update but ngage application 1.3 is not there. My phone says all apllication is up to date
