Java games emulator for the pc ?
Author
Hello, I''m interested in java game developing, and i''m looking for an emulator to run jar files.
i got j2me which can open jad files, but when im downloading java games from the interent they are in jar format and not jad .
What''s the difference between jad and jar files,can jar files run alone , and how ?
Thanks ahead.
A jad is a small text file that describes the game, and the jar contains the game itself. A jar can usually run without the jad (depends on the phone), but a jad by itself is worthless.

The same place you get your jar from should also have the jad. Unless you''re downloading from some warez site...

Let''s say i got my jad and jar file, and want to upload them so people can play them on their cellphones.
I upload both files to the same directory, and then what link should i give so the cellphone user would download em and would be able to play the game ? ..

Hey, I''ve just noticed we are both from israel :]
Anyway, I tried to upload a jar file of a game i made, and gave my friend (with a cellphone supporting java games X_X) the link to the game.
The problem is, Hhe couldn''t download the file, the cellphone said that the file structure isnt recongnized or something ...
So i wanna know what files should i upload and what link should i give so he can simply download my game ......

You put the jad and the jar on the web-server. Generally you''d give a link to the jad (in the jad there is a parameter with the url of the jar). On some phones a direct link to the jar can also work.
Probably because you don''t have the appropiate MIME type settings for jad and jar files on your server.

Tried it on a Nokia 3300. The jad worked fine. When I OKed the download I got "application not supported". But that''s because it''s MIDP 1.0 phone, and I saw that your jad says MIDP 2.0.
So I guess the download setup itself is fine, you''ll just need to try with a MIDP 2.0 phone, or make the app MIDP 1.0.
