?? .jar files ?? for games??

[digitalknoll]

i have been looking around for some good games on te wing and i found a site that has plenty. i downloaded a few of them, but they are all .jar or .jab files. i understand that these have something to do with java, but how do i get them to run?

any ideas?

:confused:

Im Not Really Sure How To Do It But I Have An Idea
Wat Is The Website Called

[KDKobes]

.JAR and .JAD files install almost like a CAB file and to get to them you open up the JAVA application in your phone under Programs, usually shown with a big e and says Java

here's one that has an ass load of games, but i don't know if we can play them on the HTCp4350.

i'm gonna try KDKobes method. if anyone gets these to work, please let us know.

glad to see some interest in this one :cool:

IT WORKS!!!! ok, very simple to do actually. just pick a game that fits your screen (320X240)
KDKobes said it right. programs/esmertec jbed/menu/install/localfiles
the first time i did this i was asked to save to root. can someone please help me save these to a place on the SD card. i looked around and cant find the "root"

I used to get .jar's there when I had my P900 and Symbian. But they should work on the wing too, if the screen size is the same.

thanks... some games uses 1 3 7 9 and etc... so when i push my my wing i can't see half of the screen on the game... something that sucks about it.

Ah, another ex-symbian user. I used to be a S60 user, though. I had the Nokia 3650. That phone was weird... I still can't believe I used that keyboard... but it was actually pretty well designed. Ugly... but well designed.

where do i place the files after i download them?

where do i place the files after i download them?

I just put mine on a folder that i created on my sd. but after you install them i have no idea where they go, but java finds them. i actually asked for some help on finding the location and moving to sd card, but to no avail.

on another note, how is that open touch v5.3 working out? i cant wait til its released

so were you able to install the games? because i did the same thing you did and when its finds it, it takes me to this screen where it shows a root folder. upon doing so when i press install it says that the file root or something is not located. i'll provide some screenshots later on after work.

open touch v5.3 is working flawlessly for me. you should give it a try. it will take some time to get use to but it's just as fast as one of his lite or micro versions IMO.

yes i have installed games and i have been playing them. most of the games work, about 90%. make sure you are selecting from the 240X320. as far as the local root folder issue goes, just create a folder when prompted. i'll try to use the screen shot software and make a walk-thru for ya.

[digitalknoll]

i attached the screenshots. i couldn't figure out how to get them to show up nest to the text like other people do, but whatever. anyway take a look at them and feel free to ask any questions.

good luck

nevermind....i guess they show up like everyone elses. i'm a genius

[shoong512]

I will give this a try when I get home. one question, how were you able to place the jar/jad files in the folder that you have created?

I downloaded the Jad files onto my desktop computer and placed them in the storage card. Opera/Esmertec Jbed finds the files but it gives me the roots error message ..

The Jad is only the installer. The Jar is the actual game file itself. You need both.

thanks i got it to work, does anyone know where the bible thread is? i want to run 3D games on the wing but EsJ won't let me

[digitalknoll]

i'm glad to see you have it working. let me know if you find the 3D thing you are looking for and a game that you can use it for. :D

how did you get devil may cry to boot up? isn't it 3D? also are you using your d-pad or keyboard number?

[digitalknoll]

its not 3d. as for the d-pad or keyboard, it really depends on the game. mostly the d-pad. hey, are you the one that is in autocad classes? thats what i do for work (structural drafting).

I'm using an HTC Dash/Excaliber running the S620 rom and have been trying to download games via www.mobiles24.com and keep getting the following error "java (file name) can not be found in local folder". This is after I go to Java- Menu-Install-Local Files- then I select the game I want to install and run. Anybody have a solution?

*If it helps the game files have both the .jar and the .jad files and are saved on my device in the My Documents/My Games.
Also I just tried running some of the game in the main Java screen and while some run the others go to boot up it seems but then they just boot me back to the game selection screen.

you need to install the jar file, cause i got that message when i tried to install the .jad file
