Hello E63 and E71 users
After a lot of research and reading many explanations on how to make n-gage work in my E63 I was able to make it work at full screen mode (320x240)... I don't know if this method works for other models but at least it is working perfectly in my E63 and the E71 of a couple of friends.

These are the steps:
1- Download and extract the contents of the file "ngage.rar" to any directory.
Download link:
ngage for e63/e712- Install the file "N-Gage v1.40 (1557) s60v3.sis". It will install many files and stuff... you just have to keep pressing the "continue" option until it installs all the stuff.
3- Open the file: "N-GAGE SERIE E.rar" and extract its content to any directory. You'll have 3 files: 10202be9.rar, 20001079.txt and playcommon.mbm.
4- Extract the contents of "10202be9.rar", it will decompress a folder with the same name, then you'll have to copy all the files contained in that folder to the following location in your phone: "c:/private/10202BE9" (use X-plore to copy the files). X-plore will ask for permission to overwrite some files, just hit yes to overwrite the files.
In order to view the files your phone has to be h4cked or you won't be able to see, copy and overwrite the files. I'm not expert h4cking phones but I'm pretty sure you can find directions for your phone in the forum
5- Copy the file "20001079.txt" (located in N-GAGE SERIE E.rar) to the same location in your phone (c:/private/10202BE9).
6- Copy the file "playcommon.mbm" (located in N-GAGE SERIE E.rar) to the following location in your phone: "c:/resourcer/apps" and overwrite the existing file if it asks.
7- Install the "N-Gage.Fixes.sis" file to correct some issues with some games (at least that's what the original author states).
Here are some actual screenshots at 320x240 of n-gage running in my E63:
Also, you can use Magickey to map your QWERTY keyboard to the traditional layout used by n-gage as it doesn't properly support the keyboard of E63/E71. (I've added the installer to the rar file in case you don't have it already)
You can use the following map in Magickey:
No. 1: org: 82 -----> map to: 49
No. 2: org: 84 -----> map to: 50
No. 3: org: 89 -----> map to: 51
No. 4: org: 70 -----> map to: 52
No. 5: org: 71 -----> map to: 53
No. 6: org: 72 -----> map to: 54
No. 7: org: 86 -----> map to: 55
No. 8: org: 66 -----> map to: 56
No. 9: org: 78 -----> map to: 57
No. 0: org: 77 -----> map to: 48
Symbol *: org: 85 -----> map to: 133
Symbol #: org: 74 -----> map to: 127

ngage for e63/e71
Just in case of any corrupted file, I've added a separate download link for the ngage main installer.
N-Gage_v140__1557__s60v3__Reempacado_Para_Todos_Los_s60v3__Por_Kiko_ocaaI've tested many games and the only one that has given me problems is Asphalt 3... I was able to install it but when it launches, the screen doesn't look good at all...
Hope this works for you as it did in my E63
