Uploading Games To Mobile Phones

[The enchanted broomstick]

Howdy to all.... I have a nokia 6234 and have downloaded a game for it from the net. Now i dont believe that the phone will open it in the RAR format it has come in.

Basically i want to transfer the game to the phone but only have a memory card slot for it (no cable, bluetooth etc.) However the phone will not open a RAR file and i really dont know what format it has to be in, or if there are in fact any guidelines i need to follow in order for it to work.

If you could help it would be greatly appreciated, stu

I think its gotta be in '.jar'

Thats all i know, soz.

cheers for the reply mate, i tried them in the .jar file as well but it seems to get half way through loading and just seems to stop and do nothing.

I read on the net about using "Midway 2.8" to upload the games to the phone, problem is that this involves a COMM port and seeing as im using a card reader instead of a cable it doesnt work

not sure about those phones in particular but it probably won't open the rar.

you can get card readers for your pc for not a lot of money - probably less than a data cable for your phone.

so, get one of them, unrar the rar using winrar and put the extracted files (probably a .jar and a .jad) onto the memorycard (in the appropriate folder ) and then you should be able to install it onto the phone.

unrar the rar using winrar
