Mobile Phone Gaming FAQs

What are .jar, .jad, .mpn?

The extension .mpn indicates that this file is a Mophun Game. Its common that one game is split up into 2 or more pieces (e.g.: 1_3game.mpn, 2_3game.mpn and 3_3game.mpn). It will only work if you transfer them all. (after the last pieces is treansfered, a msg pops up that says "new game saved" or smth like that)

The extension .jar indicates that this game is written in java (actually J2ME). A .jar is a normal archieve that can be opened with e.g. WinRAR. But if you want to install a Java game on your T610 you must not decompress the .jar! Instead just transfer it! After it is transfered succesfully, a msg pops up that says smth like " a new game saved in blablablba"). Its "very" common that after a java game was transfered, a error msg. pops up. In this case the T610 deletes the game automatically. And dont be suprised that java games run very slow and/or errors occur and/or the game chrashes. Its because of the poor J2ME Support of the T610. Always keep your firmware up to date! Newer firmware will make better support/performance with java games!

At least .jad. Dont mind them. These files are useless with the use of the T610. Only if you have a nokia phone like 7210, you must have the .jad file to install java games onto the phone. There is one line in the jad file indicating game name, icon and main class, eg.: MIDlet-1: Name, icon.png, package.MainClass . If the jad file is missing, the icon information is gone and you won't see the game icon on your nokia phone.

The "Game Expired" Error

What to do when you get the Error Message "Game Expired" when starting a Mophun Game:

If you start a game and get the message 'Game Expired'
you need to:
1. Open the .mpn file with Notepad
2. Search for '00' until you find something like
'M00120031013' - this is the date you need to set
your phone to (american format, 13/10/2003)
3. Set the date on your phone to whatever is in the
file.
4. Start the game.
5. Quit, and set the date back to normal.
6. The game should now work perfectly with the current
date!

You can also use the program DateMophun-eng.exe app to determine the appropriate date.



The "TERMINAL NOT SUPPORTED" Error

That only means that this Mophon game is not supported by your Phone. In most cases its for the T3xx. You cant do anything to get it work! Sometimes there are 2 versions of a Mophun game and sometimes T3xx Mophun games work on the T610 too (BUT: small screen, speed is too high...)

Transfering the Games...

Mophun Games: Then select all mpn files and transfer them to your phone! e.g.: you have 1_2 game.mpn and 2_2 game.mpn send both or if it's 3 then 3 and so on. It only works when all files are on the phone! Then it automatically joins these files and you can play the game!

Java Games: you only need to transfer the .jar file. For Nokia you need the jad file aswell
