Is there any emulator that can run v3i java games/apps on the PC?

hmm... among other things, I wanna test it first before uploading.

Also would be great to play without having to squint

Well, after some looking around I think I can answer my own question

Actually, there IS an emulator for Moto phones (otherwise how would they get developed?) and it's officially from Motorola itself. Look around MOTODEV and you'll find this: http://developer.motorola.com/?path=1.2.6.25.900

Install the SDK from the link on the page, but you'll need a recent Java SDK as well before you can run it. Get the latter from http://java.sun.com

Just bear in mind that this is an *emulator*. Games that run perfectly on the mobile may have problems on the PC, and vice versa.

Happy Emulating!

Thanks ImageShack

Any way to play games full screen, without the status bar on top? Some games do not resize well and extend below the bottom of screen.

Also, if I want to create my own animated GIF for the screen saver, is there any restriction on no. of colours, frames, length etc?

Don't get disappointed so easily. It's part of the learning process.

From 1st post:

It can play mp3 but it's the same ringtone for each number, regardless from calls or sms.

Do you want to let the mp3 play for the full 5 minutes before you read the sms?

Anyway, my mp3 tones are about 25 secs and v3i lets me use that, no problem.
