Meliona — J2ME Emulator for Sailfish OS

A native Sailfish OS application that runs classic Java J2ME games
on your phone.If you want to reset the application, navigate to Settings > Storage and tap the resource path and config path options.

source code:https://gitee.com/yun_gitee/harbour-meliona

Requirements

Sailfish OS 5.0
Java 11
- aarch：OpenJDK11U-jdk_aarch64_linux_hotspot_11.0.20_8.tar.gz(e.g., Redmi K20)
- i486：zulu11.88.17-ca-jdk11.0.31-linux_i686.tar.gz(e.g., Mipad2,but this is the 32-bit x86 build — for 64-bit x86 devices you will need the x86_64 package instead)
- armv7hl：I don't have an armv7hl device and can't run tests on it, so I'm unable to provide examples.

Log of starting Meliona with Sonic.jar 240x320. Black screen. Underlined string is also on Sandboxing=Disabled. What permission is denied?..

Still not appear for armv7hl.

Could you clarify whether the problem is that the package cannot be installed or that the armv7hl package cannot be found? If the package cannot be found, you can directly visit OpenRepos.net, where I uploaded it. However, I am not sure how storeman identifies different versions.

哈哈，好玩。

另外，只能竖屏吗？像植物大战僵尸是横屏的, 玩起来有点显示不全。可以下载 https://java.zixing.fun/java/jar/pvz.jar 测试一下。

是的，目前仅仅支持竖屏。更多分辨率与屏幕模式，将会在新的版本中得到支持

Cool! Loaded, tryed. How to install java environment on armv7hl, could you explain?

I loaded zulu11.86.21-ca-jdk11.0.30-linux_aarch32hf.tar file. But what to do with it, how to install?

Copied all unpacked folders to filesystem, tried to select JDK11 folder - but it is possible to select only file, not folder! Tried select /bin/java file, /Welcome.html - not works. What to do?

Launched with command:

JAVA_HOME=/home/defaultuser/java harbour-meliona

Selected from Settings jdk11 file as /java/release

Now jar started and show phone skin (Nokia 6300 or Nintendo pocket). Tried 4 different jars - always black screen inside skin's display. What need else?..

And would you please make Meliona on english please? Very hard to understand interface.

Sorry I missed your comment earlier. You will need to install Java 11 for the armv7hl architecture on your device. However, I’m not certain whether such a build actually exists. Without a physical device matching this specification, I’m unable to carry out relevant testing myself.

As for the installation process, you can search online for guides on installing and verifying Java on a Linux system.

Regarding English language support for the app, this feature will be implemented in an upcoming new release.

Look at my log of launching .jar file upper, please. Why black screen? Why permission denied?

Has your JDK 11 started working properly? You can run java -version in the terminal to verify it. I suspect the wrong Java build is installed. You need to download Java 11 for the armv7hl architecture, but I only offer builds for aarch64 and i486, not armv7hl. You may look up solutions with the help of AI tools.

In short, download the correct Java 11 distribution, extract it to your device, then manually specify the binary path: java path/bin/java .

I loaded zulu11.86.21-ca-jdk11.0.30-linux_aarch32hf.tar - is that right for armv7hl?

Or this is right:

https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk11-binaries/releases/download/jdk... ?

When i try to manually specify path to java folder from app - it can select only file, NOT folder, so i cant select /defaultuser/java, only /defaultuser/java/bin/java file - but this is not right path.

Tried to manually specify path via app and via appSettings.conf file to:

1. /usr/bin/java

2. /usr/bin/java/bin/

3. /usr/bin/java/bin/java

nevermind, log of app in terminal says: "[JDK check] path: wrong path exists=" true file= true exec= true

Unpacked java folders (/bin, /conf, /include, /jmodes, /legal, /lib, /man and release file to /usr/bin/java)

AAA! I need to create symbol link for working java!

ln -svf /home/defaultuser/java/bin/java /usr/bin/java

and then change permission of /home/defaultuser/java/bin/java file to execute.

Then Meliona starts to work on armv7hl! :-)

So, something wrong with resolution of jar now. I loaded 240x320 jar game (Plants vs Zombies), import it, launch - but it shows in soooo little window, that i even cant see letters there. Trying to change scale - "On dimension of screen" option - not works, same little scale.

Also, loaded 480x800 jar game, no preset of console for it, but can add it. Trying to add - need to choose covers for it and keyboard layout file! Where to got them? Can you set them same as in 240x320 preset?

Congratulations on successfully running this software on your device. Here are answers to your two questions:

Question 1
The issue is likely caused by one of two factors:
First, the game’s native resolution is not actually 240×320. I also own a copy of Plants vs. Zombies, whose true resolution is 360×640 instead.
Second, have you reset the app? I made changes to the database during the last update. The reset option is located at the bottom of the About page.

Question 2
Are you referring to physical device skins? There is no built-in way to fetch extra ones, as I only created skins for five or six device models, with just two retained inside the app to minimize installation size.
To add new skins, you will need to create them yourself using Photoshop; this feature was originally designed for user customization. I plan to improve the import function when I have spare time, and release an archive package at my project’s source code repository so users can import additional skins.

Thanks, man! Resseting app really helps! Now game is showing right, in resolution of 240x320, that i specially downloaded for test.

You create skins for 5-6 devices, but i see in app only 2 - Nokia 6300 and Nintendo console.

No need for skins, really, better is make navigation with sensor - now it is not working. With buttons - work.. But kinda strange buttons actions, and they are filling all screen, covering a graphics - that a bad way.

Which sensor are you referring to? The touchscreen? If so, touch input is actually supported. The current design logic only allows one type of touch operation to be active at a time. While in-game, tap the upper-right corner to hide the on-screen buttons, which will re-enable direct touchscreen control.

I understand the overlay buttons cover most of the game view, but this is a current limitation. More user-friendly control schemes will be added in future updates. For instance, my unreleased build already has gamepad support. Virtual joysticks and physical keyboard input may also be implemented later. Thanks for your feedback.

Sure i tried that upper-corner icon and tried touch, not works, not even 1 touch.

Not all games natively support touch input. I’ve tested Plants vs. Zombies and it works perfectly with touch here. You can try a different game for comparison. Alternatively, install the same game on an Android device to check whether its original build supports touchscreen controls.
