Change The Resolution Of Java Games/apps, For Nokia
Posted On Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at at 9:51 AM by Knight RiderNote: This will work about 95% of the time on S60 3rd edition phone models. I have
not tested it on other models but feel free. This will not work on phones with a
landscape screen (E series). This will work with any MIDlet by the way, not just
games.
Guide
1. Using an archiver such as WinRAR, open the jar file.
2. Once you have opened the jar, you will see a folder called 'META-INF'.
Open this folder.
3. In the META-INF folder there will be one file called 'MANIFEST.MF'.
Drag this file onto your desktop and open it in notepad.
4. Now you must know 2 things to edit the file. First, you must know the original
resolution of the game. Ususally this information can be found on the author's
website. Second, you must know the resolution of your screen. Then type the
following two lines at the end of the text in the MANIFEST.MF file:
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: www,xxx
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: yyy,zzz
In the example above 'www,xxx' represents the original resolution of the game.
'yyy,zzz' represents the resolution of your phone's display.
In the picture example below, the original game resolution is 176x208 and the
target resolution of screen (N80) is 352x416.
5. Now save the changes in the MANIFEST.MF file and drag it back into the
META-INF folder in your jar file to overwrite the old one.
6. That's it! Now install the jar to your phone and enjoy your full screen game...
