Would you like to play Nokia (J2ME) games on Retropie?

[Hex]

@BloodDragoon Does it even Load? The video shows that is doesnt load too.

I cannot test it without the game jar file and sharing that on retropie is prohibited.

@hex Do not see your mail on your Github page...

@BloodDragoon Got it?

@blooddragoon said in Would you like to play Nokia (J2ME) games on Retropie?:

@hex The game doesn't look like that for me.

That's interesting. It would explain the 'null' as well as why nothing seems to load for you. You'll get a 'null' if the jar manifest can't be read, and the application will terminate.

Are you sure you have the j2me version of the game?

You can confirm that you have the j2me version by examining the jar file. The jar file is easy, just change the extension from .jar to .zip and unpack it. You see a file called MANIFEST.MF in a folder called META-INF Post the content of that file here.

[BloodDragoon]

Yes, cannot send for whatever reason...

@recompile Pressing ESC quits from game for SDL. Is this intended behaviour rather than config screen?

[recompile]

@hex Yes. I didn't add the config menu to the SDL version as the options were very likely to be different. I figured that configuration would be handled on the SDL side. It's easy enough to change, of course, as you can see from the other variations.

@hex Apparently, I had a GitHub account, recompileorg, which I completely forgot existed.

It looks like you're starting to build a community around it, which is fantastic. I'll try to follow it as best I can.

@guicrith Did you start a branch for the Android version?

@recompile This project is actively maintained https://github.com/nikita36078/J2ME-Loader hence I did not think that would be necessary.

[recompile]

@hex That's why I asked @guicrith After all, there's no reason not to have more than one project. This one is a good example, as FreeJ2ME, MicroEmulator and Kemulat0r all work with a different subset of games. More open-source projects means that each project can benefit from the others.

That is, guicrith's project might solve a problem with which you're struggling, and you might solve a problem they're having trouble working out.

@hex Sent the files to your mail, check it please.

[Hex]

Your file doesnt work. There is a Medal of honour Airborne that is like 96kb that works

[BloodDragoon]

@hex Hmm, i extracted it with 7-Zip and it works...

[BloodDragoon]

@hex And all my files are over 96 kilobytes... Weird.

[Hex]

This works for me. medal_of_honor_airborne_2d.jar

The 3d file hangs.

I have another file from a different source which works too.

[BloodDragoon]

@hex But why? It doesn't work for me...

[Hex]

I am pushing some updates. update your code and try again (remember to rebuild sources)

[BloodDragoon]

@hex Sorry for this, but how do i compile this? Codeblocks?

[Hex]

git clone https://github.com/hex007/freej2me
cd freej2me
ant
