To prevent piracy, Nokia's Series 30+ implementation required applications to be cryptographically signed by MediaTek or tied to the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of the specific SIM card inside the user's phone. If a user downloaded a regular .vxp game from an online repository and transferred it to an SD card, the phone would trigger a "Can't open this app at the moment" error.

The MRE ecosystem hosted a wide variety of games. Because these phones were highly popular in emerging markets like India, Southeast Asia, China, and parts of Africa, the game library reflected a mix of global clones and localized content.

Clones of popular mobile titles like Temple Run , Subway Surfers , and Assassin's Creed were highly sought after.
