So, before you start the java game, you want to test it on personal computer. To do this you will need an emulator program mobile phone for java games. Instead of the crooked and buggy NHAL MIDP Runtime, I offer 3rd Edition FP1 SDK - an excellent emulator for the S60 platform and a resolution of 320*240, it understands everything the same as the phone, you can download applications from the Internet, locally, java, pictures, html. This is a complete mobile phone emulator, with an organizer with an alarm clock and so on. It is necessary primarily for programmers who write programs and games for the Nokia S60 platform. In this “virtual” phone they can properly test and test their creations.
To install, unpack the archive and run setup.exe. During installation, the program will ask you to specify the folder where to install, but you do not need to change the installation folder (they might not offer it). After installation, you can launch the game through Start → All Programs → S60 Developer Tools → 3rd Edition FP1 SDK → MIDP → Emulator. The phone will appear. But don’t rush to select File→Open. The program may take some time to initialize. Only when the screen saver appears, then you can File→Open and look for the required *.jar file. Next, the installation process of the game or application begins. After this, you must call up the main menu, and then select Installed. Well, then select the desired game, there Select→Open and enjoy the game. The program offers to register, but does not insist on registration, it works fine and so, besides, if you are not a programmer and do not know well English language then registration is of no use to you.

The advantages of Sjboy: the presence of “skins” various phones(Nokia 3100, Motorola V300, Sony Ericsson K750 and Nokia N70), the presence of the option to take screenshots and lightning-fast loading, does not require Java Runtime. The downside is the lack of multimedia and network functions. |
The second emulator of the J2ME platform that I offer is also free, like the previous one, and is available in beta edition. The difference lies in the ease of use of the program, which is registered in the system during the installation process and subsequently runs automatically whenever the user clicks on the JAR file or calls the context menu to open with and select Sjboy Emulator. The program complains when you try to run it.Application for playing Java games on devices running operating system Android. Old games that used to be played on feature phones can now be played on modern smartphones.
A Java emulator is a program designed to open games and applications in Java format on devices running the Android operating system.
Purpose
Often the former owners of old push-button phones companies such as Siemens, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and other manufacturers that were popular at that time, do not understand how mobile games work now, and their predisposition to donate makes us remember the past years, and high-quality games made conscientiously available on push-button phones. But now you just need to install the Java Emulator application on your smartphone, then download the Java game file from the Internet and add it to the emulator, and enjoy the game.Installation and playback of JAR files
After downloading and installing the emulator, you will have access to support for JAR files, but all possible games and applications for Java, for a complete understanding of the structure of the program, instructions for the application are written below. The first thing you need to do is open your browser. The next step is to use a search engine to find a game that suits you and download it in JAR format. Then, through the Java Emulator application, scan your memory for Java applications. The emulator is well designed and will show suitable games and offer to install them.Restrictions
It is worth considering that the application was developed for older versions of Android, namely 2.2 and 2.3, so most likely it will not be suitable for owners of new devices, and the emulator also does not adapt the application for touch control. But the application is also distributed absolutely free, and you can download the game you are interested in, which you once played on your old push-button phone, and play it again.Main features
- supports most Java games and applications;
- you need to download games in JAR format to the device folder;
- older devices are supported Android versions 2.2 and 2.3;
- control of the application occurs through additional on-screen keys;
- there is no need to add the file yourself, the addition is automated;
- The design of the application is made in the old style;
- Departures are not excluded.
Java applications and games for mobile phones are still finding their users, although they are gradually being replaced by products developed for the popular Android or iOS operating systems. Java MIDlets have a JAR or JAD extension and are designed primarily to be launched from a phone. However, often users need to run the jar file on the computer first. And for this there are several utilities that perform the J2ME emulation function (Java 2 Mobile Edition, a special modification of the Java language (Java), adapted for mobile phones) and the launch of java midlets.
Let us immediately note that some emulators require a Java virtual machine installed on the system. To install it, download the Java SE JRE version for Windows.
In the simplest case, just click on the JAR file to see the result of executing the Java script. For example, this is how we will see a small application Minesweeper (Author Marat Kenzhebekov), designed in the form:
Every serious mobile phone manufacturer has its own software development kits (SDKs), which usually include emulators. But today we will look at universal emulators that allow you to run any jar files on your computer.
MidpX Java Application Emulator
The MidpX emulator allows you to quickly launch a JAD or JAR file on your computer with just one click. This can be either a java game or any application for a mobile phone. Browser users Internet Explorer can use context menu and select item Link MidpX.
For other users who prefer other browsers, it is better to first download the jar file, and then select the item in the Explorer context menu Open with – Midp2Exe Compiler.
Once the file is received, MidpX generates an executable EXE file and runs it automatically. The result of executing the exe file, which was originally a JAR file, we see in the window with the image cell phone. To control an application or game, there are standard keys found on any mobile phone. Although the program allows you to use the control keys of a regular computer keyboard or the number keys on the side keyboard to control the application. There are also buttons to stop, restart or start the application. In the status bar you can find out the frame rate. MidpX settings will help you change the brightness and contrast, change the transparency and volume of the music.
The generated EXE file, by the way, is saved by the program in the same folder where the original JAR file is located. We also note the possibility of installing a separate utility for converting jar files into exe called MIDP2EXE, however, working with it is not very convenient, since all operations are performed through command line. There is also a graphical shell GUIMidp2Exe.exe. It allows you to convert jar files and entire directories, shows full information about the selected jar file and icon, can generate a JAD file, launches the generated exe file for testing, extracts all file resources, including pictures, text and sounds into the temporary folder Test in the folder with the emulator (after closing all files are deleted), saves screenshots of mobile games in JPG.

Java game emulator SJBoy
We position SJBoy specifically as a game emulator. This is due to the high speed of emulation and no less good quality, allowing you to run java games without any problems. SJBoy provides us with one of four phone models to choose from: two Nokia, SonyEricsson and Motorola. Depending on the selected model, the skin of the front panel of the mobile phone changes. After installation, no extra manipulations with jar files will be required. Just select the file in the list and double click run it. SJBoy will pick up the file and immediately begin emulating the java application. In most cases, it will be most convenient to use the SJBoy emulator.
Control in the menu is performed both by clicking on the drawn phone keys, and by control and numeric keys computer keyboard. Among useful functions You can note the possibility of creating a screenshot (menu Tools – Snapshot). The image is saved in a BMP file.

How to extract data from a jar file
In some cases, users do not need to run the jar file, but rather open it to see the contents. Many people know that a jar file, although it has such an extension, is actually a zip archive. Accordingly, you can view the contents of the jar file in any archiver that supports the ZIP format. Simply open the jar file, select the necessary files and extract them from the archive. Subject to availability file manager Total Commander you can rename the jar file extension to zip, then enter the archive and see its contents, and later extract the data.
The review of java machine emulators was the reason for opening a new section on the site - “For the phone”. This section will contain all the most interesting and useful things for our irreplaceable assistants, who are now used not only as a means of communication, but also as photographic equipment and a source of information and entertainment. You can install any applications and games on phones that support java. Time spent searching the game you want or applications can be reduced by installing them on your computer special programs capable of emulating a phone on a computer, or more precisely a java machine, through which you can run any application without downloading it to the phone. Undoubtedly, such tools are very convenient when you need to sort through the most worthy games from a large pile, and not torment your phone by installing and deleting “garbage”. I don’t rule out the possibility that some users manage to purposefully play through such emulators, while others use mini - opera, which in my opinion is quite normal, if necessary.
The real Nokia N70 on your computer
A fairly easy-to-use tool for running java on a personal computer. What immediately catches your eye upon startup is the main window in the form of a phone, a sort of skin you might think, no, that’s right, this is a complete emulation of a java machine Nokia phone 3100(you can choose N70, sony ericsson k750, mtorola v300) I was in a hurry with full emulation; it would be more correct to say that when you select any phone out of 4, the program will adjust the screen resolution to the application. For example: we chose k750 - the java application will be stretched to 176x220 (it is reasonable to choose Nokia N70 with a resolution of 320x240). Then you can poke on the phone screen if you want to press some button in the application, or press on the keyboard virtual phone, it's up to you to decide.
The only one additional function, included in the program, is SnapShot. From the name, you can figure out the purpose - a snapshot of an area of the screen of a virtual phone with a running java application.
One of the disadvantages of Sjboy Emulator is that there is no support for working with file system, so if you want to download something through Opera Mini, the program will give an error when saving. However, with its light weight (just over 1 MB), Sjboy Emulator does not need to install additional components of the java machine for Windows.
After playing with this utility that launches java, I have exhausted all its capabilities and can’t say anything more; I’d rather describe the more professional KEmulator tool
Specifications:
Weight: 1 mb
Interface: English Systems: Windows 95/98/ME/xp Vista
Medicine: not required
Main disadvantages:
- As such, no shortcomings were found in the operation, but there are significant disadvantages in functional terms
The developers of this program focused specifically on more advanced users. In the case of Sjboy Emulator, everything was simplified as much as possible; users were deprived of the opportunity to configure options for screen resolution, network, control buttons, fps, etc.
In KEmulator, the settings menu can scare off poorly versed users, so that this does not happen, I will describe each section of the program settings in detail.
- midlet menu - indicate where the application files are located (jar or jad)
- tool - this menu contains the most useful utility of the utility - recording in Avi - everything you do in the java application will be recorded by the program. Also in the menu, there is a command to turn on the Internet for the application (by default, the Internet is open for applications). In addition to these bells and whistles, you can conjure with the screen size, stretch it even across the entire monitor, so that maximum size consider increasing the pixel by the nth number of times consider, that is, colored squares =). In addition, the program even seems to have unnecessary functions: pause the “playing” of the application, recording all the keys you pressed.
- In the last menu “View”, there are settings for managing the display of java applications. You can configure the resolution and hotkeys that correspond to the buttons on the phone. If you click Keypad, a window with the phone keyboard will open on the right, which also allows you to control the application. As for launching java, in the options you can select from a rather large list the phone you want to emulate, and you can also configure the screen resolution and hotkeys there.
Many people consider Java to be an outdated software environment. However, this is not so, because despite everything it remains literally omnipresent.
Java has occupied a significant niche in mobile devices and has no intention of leaving her at all.
Main advantages
Why do you need a Java Android emulator? After installing it, you will be able to run Java applications on mobile devices running the operating system. Android systems. Thus, it becomes indispensable for those who still prefer the good old programs. In fact, there are many such users, because, despite the huge variety of applications for the Android OS, it is incredibly difficult to find suitable analogues for some software. With the help of a Java Android emulator, you can use “outdated” programs that you just can’t part with. Sometimes simple software can be much more useful than modern analogues.
Installation and use
Unfortunately, you cannot be sure that this simulator will allow you to run absolutely any Java applications. The reason for this lies both in the features of certain software and in hardware incompatibilities. In addition, certain difficulties arise with management. The fact is that such emulators were created for push-button phones. In this case, the solution to this problem is virtual keyboard, which, in theory, should appear when working with applications of this kind.
