    I saw the free Doom when I was looking at a few of the links that you posted in the other thread. I may D/L that & give it a try just because it's free. I'm not really a FPS fan.

     

    I may give the video thing a go just because I can. I don't see myself ever really being in a situation where I would find that feature particularly useful. I feel the same about UMD movies on the PSP.

     

    Are you planning on trying out the Emulators? I'm going to install EMAME for sure. I also want an NES emu, but don't know which one to go with. Is one better than the others? I noticed there were several.

     

    Is there a way for me to copy Tomb Raider onto my MMC card (or is this subject taboo?) I'm not talking about pirating, I just don't want to cary multiple cards around, I'm afraid I'll lose the one that's not in the phone because they're so tiny.

    Obviously you can only play joystick games. Don't expect to buy something that uses a trackball or a steering wheel and expect it to work.

     

    Swapping out JAMMA boards is only slightly more trouble than changing a cart in a home game system.

    Just got an N-Gage. The game that came with it was Tony Hawk Pro Skater. I have no interest in this game so I'm hoping to trade it for something else. I'll take just about any N-Gage game in trade for it, the only other one I have is Tomb Raider. I'd also entertain cash offers or trades for non N-Gage related items, but I'd prefer an N-Gage game.

     

    The game is new & unopened.

    After a few days of fighting Fed-Ex, my N-Gage is finally here. I'd been considering switching mobile phone services anyway (previously I was using Cricket, yes they are as bad as their reputation makes them out to be) so when I found out that you can get an N-Gage free if you sign up with T-Mobile, I was in.

     

    I'd heard that the N-Gage was not a great mobile phone. I have no idea how it got that reputation. It has about a zillion more features than my cheesy Kyocera phone that I had been using. I still have no idea how to use most of the features the N-Gage has - time to RTFM. ;) I also get great signal in places where I used to get no signal at all. Okay, I'm willing to concede that the signal improvement may have more to do with the fact that I'm on the T-Mobile network now, but considering that the N-Gage has no external antenna, it's still very impressive. In any case, as a mobile phone it's much, much better than I had been led to believe.

     

    At the moment I only have two games for it. Tony Hawk Pro Skater came with it. I have no interest in that one, so I'll probably sell or trade it for something else. Tomb Raider is the other one. I'm kind of embarrased to admit that I have never played the first Tomb Raider. Ive played TR2 & TR:AoD, both of which I enjoyed. My first thought was that I just couldn't believe that I was playing Tomb Raider on my phone. My wife who has no interest in video games played it a bit and seemed geniunely amazed. As a game system, no it isn't a PSP or a DS, but as a cell phone, the games are just jaw dropping. This is hands down the coolest cell phone I've ever used.

     

    After browsing online for the last few days I'm blown away by the huge amount of downloadable content that's available. I ordered a bluetooth dongle and a 512 mb MMC card for it yesterday. Hopefully by next week I'll be loading that card up with games & emulators. #1 on my list is MAME. Yes, I have a MAME cabinet, but try as I might, I can't get it to fit into my pocket. The 3D snakes game (name escapes me at the moment) is also high up there.

     

    So my question for you guys who already have one, as far as the downloadable games go, what's the good stuff? What should be avoided? Best of all, what's free? ;)

     

    Any tips or suggestions anyone has regarding my new little toy are very welcome!

    Well guess what just got here. :)

     

    I'm just about to leave for the day. So much for charging it up before I leave. Guess I'll play with it at home.

     

    Edit: Oh and than you so much T-Mobile, for putting the "unlimited internet" advertising decal right on the screen! :x

    I'm no expert, but I suspect you'd generate a bit more interest in this thread if you at the very least divulged what emulator you are trying to run, what you are trying to run it on, and the exact nature of the problem you are experiencing.

    Yeah, that's what I was curious about. My GBA SP said specifically in the manual to let it charge for 3 hours the first time you charge it. My Kyocera phone said 12 hours. Mostly I'm just wondering (assuming it actually arrives today) if I will have enough time to fully charge it at work or if I should just wait until I get home & let it charge overnight.
