How to change the resolution of java games? (this is not working for all games, but you may give it a try anyway)
Hi, this should help a lot of people who are wanting games which are only out on bigger or smaller sized screens than the handset there using.
1. Open your game *.jar file on your computer with either WinRar or WinAce or any other good compression program.
2. Go to the META-INF folder and by using notepad, open the file called manifest.mf
3. Scroll to the end of the file and add:
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: (the original size)
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: (what size your display is)
Example:
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: 352,416
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: 240,320
4. Save your changes. Depending on which program you use you may need to "re-zip" the entire *.Jar. Install to your phone and ENJOY!
Use JADMaker to create the JAD file from the JAR file if your phone doesn't support JAR files.
(zip archive)
So, JADMaker creates a JAD file for your .JAR Java Games, so that you can install them to your mobile phone. How to use this program? There are 3 ways.
1) Run JADMaker. Drag and drop a JAR file onto the window. JAD generated. That's it!
2) Drag and drop a JAR file onto the JADMaker.exe icon in a Windows Explorer window. This means you can also create a desktop
shortcut to JADMaker.exe, and then drop JAR file(s) onto the shortcut.
3) Once the "Make JAD" Explorer Context-Menu extension is enabled (by checking it in the program), you can right click on any JAR file(s) for a quick "Make JAD".
- Remember that you can process multiple JAR files at one time (=batch procesing).
- Just select multiple files, and use any of the ways above (this is really the icing on the cake!).
- With so many ways to get your JAD file, you are spoilt for choice!!!
- No special installation is required on Windows.
- JADMaker can be put in any folder (together with other required files). You may make a shortcut to it on your Desktop.
