I dunno whether this has been discussed b4 but please help me with Midlet or ZIP games!! I downloaded HotBlooded Fighter in ZIP format but when i send it to my N7650 via infrared, it just cant install!! And Midlets games also!! Why is that? I have ZipMAn in my handset.
Please help...No problems with .sis files though...... :-?

you should unzip it. Just be sure youre not unzip(rar)ing any jar or jad files. with jar - jad and sis you can install directly. With a zip you have to unzip it firts and move to your phone OR you move the zip to your phone and unzip it there and install it. i prefer you unzip it in your puta first. mmkay? 😊

nope!!! dont do that! the folder is zipped, normally, if you open it you will see there two files, a .jad and a .jar. now, in your pc when you unzip it, you will get a new folder with those two files. send the .jar file to your phone via Ir.

but some zipped games like hotblooded warriors dont have .jar or .jad files!!! there are dozens of other files but there's absolutely no such files...help!!! 😞

The only explanation for me is that you have to create the jar on your own and the zip only contains the sources (you can unpack any jar for example with winrar. It's fun to play around with the ingame graphics!).

Try the games on this thread:

Those j2me games that are there are tested.

WinRar is a compressing software like winzip but it uses different method
of compression. you can find it with google.

im not really sure but i think this is whatyour doing wrong - make sure if you unzip it - you save the unzipped version under all files! you can find it somewhere at the bottom of the page. it will say "file type". this happened to me also one time - i wasnt able to select the right file type and ended unzipping the zipped files 30 or more patches!!!

i hope this will help you - or at least i made some sense!!! 😃
