Game of the week: WGT Golf Challange

Google Chrome has a fair collection of games, probably the largest collection of browser games. WGT Golf Challenge is one such game which has lots of good features and eye candy. You never feel like you are playing a browser game. Since it has good graphics, playing it on a slow network may not be such a good idea. Broadband network will give a full Golf experience. Game is totally Free because there are significant advertisements during the game when it reloads after every shot (to some extent, irritating). In any case, for Golf Lovers its a good treat. Here is a link to download the game:

Your views and feedback are most welcome. Enjoy Golfing :)

How to download from Nokia Ovi Store to directly on computer?

So Nokia is up with its Ovi store to compete with Apple. There are a considerable number of applications available at Ovi Store to download but …yeah there is a but … You have to download(read install) it directly to your phone using Ovi application for Nokia. This may not seem a problem if you have good network speed on your phone (i.e. if you are connected to Wi-Fi or 3G connection) but it certainly is annoying if you are using GPRS/Edge services to connect to internet or if you want to save the application for future use.

Well, you don’t need to loose heart. Because there always are few tweaks available to counter it. The simplest way to download from Ovi store to your computer is a 2 step process:

1. Download application from Ovi Store to computer

2. Convert .sis.dm file to .sis file/ Convert the .jad file to .jar file

1. Download application from Ovi Store to computer: This part is pretty much straight forward. All you have to do is to click on the desired application. There is an option of “Send to friend”. Just click on that.

After clicking on it. Look into your browser address bar:

Replace “send-to-friend” by “download” and press enter. The file starts to download:

So, Finally you have successfully fooled Nokia and downloaded the application on your PC. But the problem “may” not end here. As you know the Nokia runs on Symbian OS and it uses .sis file. The application you have downloaded might be .sis.dm instead of .sis. (or .jad instead of .jar). So, our next step would be to convert these files into a suitable format.

 

2(a). Converting .sis.dm file to .sis file: This might seem a bit difficult but believe me it only seems, it is not at all difficult. To convert .sis.dm file, you first need to install a Hex Editor. You can download XVI32, the best Hex Editor available free. Unzip the file and run the XVI32 application. Open the desired .sis.dm file(you can also drag and drop into the software). It will look something like the pic below. Try to find the first “7A “ in the left panel.

Delete (using delete key) every other entry before 7A. Don’t delete 7A. :) Something like this:

Download from Ovi to Computer

Now a similar task. Use the scroll bar to go to the bottom of the file. Here look for first “-” of “–boundary–” (in the right panel). Delete from here till the end.

So. its final look will be like:

Now you can save this file as filename.sis. Your application is ready to use. Install it using Ovi Suite or copy it into your phone and then install it.

2(b). Convert .jad file to .jar file: If the downloaded file from Ovi store is .jad file, then it can easily be converted to .jar file. .jar file can then directly be installed on Nokia phones. The idea is that mostly .jad files contains the address of the .jar file inside it. So open the .jad file in a notepad or (preferably) notepad++. Look for the address inside it. Copy the address and paste it inside the web browser. Enter and .jar file is on your computer. :)

Enjoy Hacking Nokia Ovi Store. A word of thanks and questions are always welcomed.
