Where do I get old cell phone games and emulators? (Not smartphones)

Can I put them on my actual phone and not play them on a computer?

Search for J2ME games on Google, you can put them on your phone via USB, just make sure they have the proper screen proportions.
>>
Also you can try KEmulator if you don't have a phone.

The only retro phones I know of that had downloadable games were Japanese. Everything else had built in games and I've never seen them dumped. J2ME didn't arrive until a bit later. Some Nokia games were remade for ngage.

Your pic related is unretro by many years. You may as well come here and ask about PS3 shit.
>>
>>3033490
there's the MeBoy GBC emulator
it's not the fastest (and it doesn't work with Pokemon G/S/C -- it'll boot, but you can't finish the game), but I played through all of Red on my Blackberry really slowly with it

buddy of mine had a Sony Ericsson phone that was older that ran games in it at full speed though, so it just depends on the phone
due to J2ME limitations, you need to package each game in its own copy of the emulator, since filesystem access support was rare as shit for years on phones

How about non-J2ME games from firmwares?

It's not at all retro, but I've desperately been wanting to replay the 2005-2006 J2ME version of Tetris. That particular version was the shit. The newer smartphone versions just aren't as good, though BitBlocks is aight.

J2me is absolutely a retro gaming platform and should be treated as such. Playing a game on a flip phone certainly evokes the retro aesthetic and I'm pleased to have incontrovertibly proven that it meets the requirements for this board.

This is now a J2me (.jad) game thread

>what is kvm
It's like you don't understand that software gets developed for operating systems. Java absolutely was implemented on 9110 but Nokia pretty much left their GEOS devices high and dry once Symbian was released. Really though you're just being a pedantic contrarian. 1999 Palm devices certainly ran the shit out of J2ME ergo J2ME is technically a retro gaming platform for the purposes of this board which seems to be all shit eaters like you care about.

These are not "retro style" games. The technical limitations of J2ME very obviously result in games that authentically carry the retro spirit: low resolution, low cpu cycles, less than a couple megabytes in size etc and these games were developed for commercial purposes all through the '00s so they offer a unique opportunity to look at how some more modern gaming concepts were seriously adapted to a platform comparable to GBC.

Of course you're not interested in shit like that though. You'd rather jerk off over some dumb meaningless shit you want to think you're "right" about.

I'm going to go ahead and just post more J2ME games though since I actually like this topic and firmly believe it is constructive to this board.

No it's like I don't believe what some kid on 4chan says. Show me any credible proof that the 9110 ran J2ME applications in 1999. Anything. A news article, a manual, a spec sheet, anything.
According to your kidlogic if someone got Halo to run at 0.0 FPS on a Palm V we could start discussing it here.

Look, I know you're frantically googeling this shit and if you find any proof J2ME was actually released on/for anything pre 2000 that's great. Until then, with your stories about how it was on 1996 communicators, you're just another kid bullshitting on the internet.

You had to sort through the games for the correct version/resolution for your phone, just like sorting through a bloated romset. Good times.

In 1999? Again all anyone has to do is present credible proof such as things I listed above. Plenty of older systems can run newer software. That doesn't some how magically make the software older.

It's not that version. That was for the Chinese version. The KonamiNet DX version was only available in Japan. The version I'm talking about had the level designs and gameplay of the FC/NES version but had the graphics and opening intro from the AC version.

Were dumbphone games casual dogshit like smartphone games are today?

It strange how obscure, forgotten and untouched these games are.

Seems like there are more people playing 30 year old ZX Spectrum games than 15 yr old dumbphone games.

Can dumbphone game be categorised into different "systems/consoles" based on their programming language or operating system?
>>
>>3051076
These are all J2ME games. It's the only "platform" that's retro but other platforms you may be interested in include Windows CE/Mobile, Palm and Symbian. Most of them developed around 2000-2002 so they're not officially retro but they certainly have a period appeal and are currently pretty obscure despite being very widespread at the time.
>>
>>3051076
They were basic. That doesn't mean they couldn't be challenging. But you have to be pretty autistic to want to try to beat snake.

I don't think they're forgotten they're just before most peoples time. I have quite a few old phones that I use for old games and other old things. There's hardly anything 15 years old worth playing but fast forward 5 years and there are a fuckton of good J2ME and imode games.
And you run into the same sort of shit like you do on old PC games where you meed the right combination of screen, CPU, and platform to play things right. Needless to say playing a game designed for a phone with a nub/dpad and keypad on original hardware is much better than playing it on a modern touch screen.
