Softkeys in Java games, how to get them to work? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I've installed some Java games meant for "regular" mobile phones on my Dopod 838 Pro. I am able to run them via the Midlet manager. The keys to be used to play the games all work fine except for the softkeys. There are usually commands or options to select using softkeys.
Nothing happens when I press any of the two softkeys. Does anyone know how to get the softkeys to work with these java games or at least to use some other keys/buttons to replace them?
Thanks for any tips.

How do you play JAVA games on a Wizard?

I've got a XDA Mini S... downloaded and installed a Java game earlier today, World Series Of Poker from a Nokia website earlier. Installed and loaded fine but couldn't actually use the game as it would not select anything.
Touchscreen didn't work, the soft keys... joystick thingy... on board keyboard... on screen keyboard... NOTHING!!
How do you play Java games, or can you?
Help me please!! I've been trawling the site using the search function but can't seem to find a solution?
From what I have found, some games work because they are designed for our phones or are generic, and some are designed specifically for other phones, and thus, do not work on our Wizards. Generally, all you have to do to play a game is download the jar and jad files, go to the midlet manager and install, and then select. If it does not load from there, the game probably just will not work on the wizard. I have had the same problem for other java games.
most of the games i've seen work, however suck, because we do not have dial pads.
Well they install... and the load. Just can't play them, I'm presuming this is because we haven't got a numeric keypad?
Is there no way of playing Java Games whatsoever?

How To Install Emulator

Hey I downloaded 2 different emulators and I have no idea how to install them. I tried with Active Sync, I tried straight from the card. Nothing's working for me. Anybody got a sticky on what to do with the emulators and roms?
download this to your desktop
install it
look for the games you want here
download the games to your /my documents folder on your pocket pc or to your storage card root
start the nes emulator on your pocket pc and enjoy
thanks man.. . been wanting to ask that question but was just afraid to get flamed...
seem to have a hard time figuring out how to use the controls? which buttons do you use and how do you assign them?
do any of you have trouble playing either of the nes emulators youve gotten i got them to play just can never touch the screen or it becomes almost unresponsive pocket nester you install from pc and pocket nester plus launch straight from file explorer those are by far the best emulators I have came across just have problems with this phone
SWEET! cant wait to play super mario brothers!
i uninstalled it for the same reasons. i think it has a problem with the samsung cpu that is in the hermes. from what i hear, it works great on the wizards. if anyone figures out the problems please post it.
It worked fine for me. I was playing Tecmo Bowl and all that.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
me too.. i want to find out if its possible to play on landscape mode.
I've tried several different ways and landscape does not work. The video quality goes up significantly if you turn the volume off (in the app, not on the device). Some of the buttons cannot work for the controller (like the phone button). Otherwise it works perfectly and if you're playing, hit 'save state' under 'file' and you can restart from that second.
Thanx for the info, I was wondering where this lost memories were? Thanx.

Diamond Emulator games

Hey, I found a link here on xda to a youtube video showing a game(Art of Fighting), and I wanna know if it really just a ROM emulator is, or is it game you install on your phone?
The user is 520darky on youtube, and he's got a few other games aswell.
If someone can reply to my question, can they please tell me where to get the games, either emulated ROM or Cab files.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
scruffy_joe
Morphgear or FPSECE. Do a google/xda search!
actually, for running art of fighting the emulator you need is Final Burn, it runs neo-geo games, CPS1 and CPS2, you can find roms in here http://romhustler.net. All games I've tried run pretty smooth ( super street fighter 2 turbo, marvel Vs. Capcom, art of fighting, street fighter alpha 2, etc )
any 1 got this working
managed to get the game started, credits loaded, and started a fight
but when i try to assign the keys it just doesnt work
i can assign 3 of the dpad keys but one always goes to home
also the on screen buttons, do not work as the game automatically pauses and goes into portrait mode
is there any easy was of disabling this so i can use finalburn, as graphics are quality

Yeah it works great for me, go into options and make sure enable screen keypad is ticked and use mode 1 (fire buttons) - then when you start a game pause it and go to Options-Keys- and re=map the buttons....i've got my back button (0x5C) mapped to coin and the centre button as start (0x8E) and everything works fine.
im using finalburn and havent managed to get either of super street fighter 2 turbo, marvel Vs. Capcom, art of fighting, street fighter alpha 2 to work - managed to get cps1 roms to work but not neogeo. iv got the neogeo.zip (bios) in the roms directory but still no luck. maybe im using an incompatible rom.
can anyone email me or pm me a link to a working rom?
I have mapped the keys and made sure the screen buttons are on
still my game pauses wen i press anywhere on the screen and i can not map the home key, all other keys i can map
but i only have 6 i can map??
is this anything to do with the cooked rom i am running maybe, swift
Hi dudes i find a good instructions for emu http://www.pocketpcmag.com/cms/index.php?q=blogs/3/1928
cheers
yeah that the guide i used to set ip up
but still no joy
i think it must be the swift rom
anyone got this working o this rom

Java Apps with JBlend

Hi Everyone,
I have had my Touch Pro 2 for about a week now and there is something that is bugging me.
Although I can install applications perfectly fine, java applications however can only be accessed by using JBlend.
I want to use Gmail but I need to use the keyboard when typing emails, and so each time the Gsensor notices a screen rotation the application must restart. This is definitely an annoyance.
Is it possible to install Java Applications that run in another type of Java enabled platform or even better off the Windows Mobile application list natively like normal phones.
I will try going into Gyrator 2 and setting up a new event for Gmail, but I don't think I will be able to find the jar extension.
Did u tried JBed before? Many cabs floating here.
No it's my first time using it. All the other phones I had used Java apps natively.
The version I'm using came with the EU ROM. Build v3.3.5, 20090316.2.1
I have this problem too. Using Jblend with my stock broking software.... whenever I close the keyboard... I will get error message: Screen rotation detected, please restart MIDLET. ARGGHHH......
Hopefully someone can come up with a solution for this.
Ha.... solve thanks to monx.
Jbed works well. Do a google search for Jbed Midlet Manager Build 20070802.2.1. Fonts are a bit smaller but it works fine and supports screen rotation on my stock software now.
Cheers!!!!

Still stuck getting GBA emulators to work on HTC Ozone.

I've lurked the fourms for the last few days trying to give myself a crash course in everything Windows Mobile but fear I'm not making much progress by myself. I've tried PocketGBA, I tell it to open and the screen flickers and nothing ever loads up. I tried Morphgear, it opens but all I can do is open the menu and toggle settings on and off but not save. I tried editing the .cab to install morph gear with predetermined settings and still nothing.
I have a feeling morphgear would work if i could find some kind of app to use my Dpad as a pointer.
Anyone else have these issues? More importantly is there anyone out there with a working GBA emulator on the ozone?
Found a mouse app after much lurking, morphgear locks up when I attempt to load a rom.
