Subject: Re: my JSW java MIDlet created from speccy emu midlet and JSW rom i

 

Hi!

I can get a java Speccy emulator MIDlet to run with a JSW ROM
attatched on my PC, it's very buggy and key controls need to be
hacked etc, most of the speccy midlets work fine on the Java
Wireless SDK/ EclipseME etc. with tweaking - but won't work at
all on microemulator

I'm guessing that's because MicroEmulator isn't a full or correct
implementation of MIDP2.0. If you're running on Windows you might as
well stick with Sun's own Wireless Tookkit.

I keep getting error messages with ZXPlay on my phone -
(Unable to create class in system package)

Does the ZXPlay emulate sound? It's possible your MIDP1.0 phone
doesn't support the (optional) multimedia support (MMAPI).

maybe I have to buy a decent phone which will run java applets
and forget midlets, or upgrade to a 2.0 midlet phone?

I don't think you'll find a phone that has a full Java implementation
capable of running applets, and I don't think you're going to have
much luck with any of the J2ME emulators (at least at a playable
speed, or with sound).

Your best bet is with the Symbian emulators, which should at least be
able to run at the full framerate. Even the old Nokia Series 60 phones
(like the N-Gage, which can be picked up quite cheaply) will run
emulators such as ZXBoy.

Hope that helps!
