Dan6061 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Downloaded some games onto my PC for my D600.On the USB settings on the phone, it's set to Mass Storage.I've got it plugged in, and it's all installed and everything, I just have no idea how to install the games on my phone. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Um, .rar is like a zip file... but a rar file. Download winrar to unrar them, then install them onto the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yeah, but with my Nokia, I could select 'Install Applications' or something from the phone browser on my PC, and just drag and drop the .rar game file into it, and it'd install.The thing i'm asking, is how the hell do I do this on my D600?

Dai the Socket Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 What games and where from?I've got a Samsung D900, well, two lol. And I want to install some games for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eitherway, .rar files are compressed files which need to be uncompressed before you can use them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 If you've only got the .jar files you can make .jad files that you need to install them with 'jad wizard' (search google). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Well before you do anything with them, besides look at the pretty logo, you have to extract the files Alright, then what?I have no idea how to install it onto my phone. With my Nokia, I could select install application, and just open the rar file in that, and it'd install itself onto my phone. - So I didn't need to extract anything.

Have you got a file browser for your phone? If you can get into your 'games' folder on your phone, you MAY be able to just drag and drop them into it!Failing that, surely you got a cd with your phone? This should tell you the secret wray Edited November 21, 2006 by Merlin man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 A RAR file is a compressed file. These WILL NOT open on your phone. You need to extract the contents of them using winrar ( http://www.rarlabs.com )There will probably be a jar and a jad file inside them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Are you sure the game is compatable with your phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme_biker0 Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Java games for phones, are programmed in Java so that they can be played on any java compatible phone. My point is, all those ones i've come across come named game.jar or game.jad, so i'm assuming they ALL have to be.Now, having programmed in java quite a bit, I can tell that what you have there certainly is a java file all right, fresh from the compiler. They always come out as .class. But contradictory to what i already said about java being supposedly cross platform compatible, those are java files for the pc.Yours truely.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) Right, managed to find a .jad version of the game I wanted (Gravitydefied). .jad is the file type I need for uploading it btw.Been following this guide - http://users.skynet.be/yozy/tutorials/sams...d600/d600-1.htmIt's all been good, but when I go to 'Serial Download' it pauses on the download screen, then goes into the folder with the two games I already have there, with 'Downloads' at the top?

tomturd Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 But contradictory to what i already said about java being supposedly cross platform compatible, those are java files for the pc. .class files work on anything with the correct Java runtime environment (eg, a phone, a PC, a mac) - they're compiled Java classes. Theres no such thing as a Java file for a specific platform, thats the whole point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 euploader.com ***!Much easier then codes and such. Upload the file, go on wap and type the address and codes, and it installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no such thing as a Java file for a specific platform, thats the whole point.No, you won't be able to run any compiled .class on the phone. Different runtime environments have different capabilities (static in-built classes?? i don't knwo it was YEARS ago! ).The reason java's cross-platform is becasue the Runtime Environment is a virtual one, and has to be programmed in that platforms native code.The classes themselves aren't cross platform, as they only work in one runtime - the java one!For starters, most java designed for desktops will require mouse input, which the phone don't have, so there's no way the file will run as it won't detect the mouse input classes in the runtime.
