for [[Emulators on Android|Android]]

It's written in Java. This project is a fork of [https://github.com/NaikSoftware/J2meLoader J2meLoader].
 +
 
 +
==Overview==
 +
 
 +
Released in 2017, the emulator is currently capable of playing around lot of games. This is currently the highest-compatibility J2ME/ezplusアプリ emulator available. Converts .JAR and .KJX files offline using its own resources. Easily launches both 2D & 3D apps. Samsung & Nokia API implemented. Supports different keyboard layouts and customization. It is highly accurate, with the right frame rate for each game, as well as vibration. Has slightly improved performance through hardware acceleration, but games won't run too fast. Runs almost every Nokia game, even ones that don't work with [[KEmulator]] or [[FreeJ2ME]], but fails with Sony Ericsson 3D engine (Mascot Capsule 3D), due to the fact that the Mascot Capsule 3D is almost difficult to port. This is implemented with [[JL-Mod]] emulator.

==Overview==
 
−
bsnes is a subset project of [[higan]], and focuses on performance, features, and ease of use. It returns to the Qt GUI that it abandoned before its merger with higan and has a much faster multi-threaded PPU renderer, giving it the performance of the old bsnes-balanced core while retaining the accuracy of the bsnes-accurate core. It was originally developed by Near (formerly known as byuu) and is now maintained by the community. It is available under the GNU GPL version 3 or later.

;bsnes-hd:
+
 
−
A newer fork of bsnes, first released in 2019 by DerKoun, that adds HD video features, such as:
+
* [[JL-Mod#Mascot Capsule 3D compatibility list|Mascot Capsule 3D V3]] games doesn't works.
−
* ''HD Mode 7'' – Rendering the rotated, scaled or pseudo perspective backgrounds at higher resolutions. This does not involve new custom imagery or upscaling algorithms. It is a higher resolution version of the process the SNES uses.
 
−
* ''Widescreen'' – Extending the scenes to the left and right, without distorting them. Works for most Mode 7 scenes, but also for some other scenes/games, after some setting tweaking.
 
−
* ''Some non-HD related features'' – Like the ability to disable background layers, sprites and window effects for screenshots for wallpapers or soft crop to zoom in, leaving maps or static art off the sides of the screen.
 
  
−
Some of the features of this fork are or will be included in official bsnes. The difference is that official bsnes only has slight visual improvements but with mostly perfect compatibility. bsnes-hd has more hacks that give true HD in mode 7 SNES games and widescreen in other games.

==Compatibility==
−
Has the following improvements over regular bsnes:
 
−
* Pixel-perfect integer-ratio scaling both vertically and horizontally.
 
−
* Precise aspect ratio of 4:3 instead of 64:49 with correction enabled, in the “Center” and “Scale” modes.
 
−
* Saving screenshots in the compressed PNG format instead of uncompressed BMP.
 
−
* Drivers are not reset after crashes, a command-line option is provided for explicit reset.
 
−
* Better default settings: VSync, exclusive full-screen mode, blur disabled.
 
−
* Built-in hotkeys for full-screen and pseudo-full-screen modes, opening a game; Alt+F4 works in full-screen mode.
 
−
* Improved usability, bug fixes, and more.

;bsnes-mercury:
+
J2ME Loader is currently capable of playing thousands of J2ME games (Runs almost every Nokia games, especially GameLoft games) with ezplusアプリ games support, more than 96.7% of the J2ME library with supports most 2D games and also 3D with some limitations ([[JL-Mod#Mascot Capsule 3D compatibility list|Mascot Capsule 3D V3]]) games don't work).
−
This fork aims to restore functionality like HLE DSP chip emulation and SGB emulation using Gambatte that was removed in later versions of bsnes, as well as to have some optimizations that don't affect emulation accuracy. It also has an option to overclock SuperFX. Default options make it exactly the same as regular bsnes, with LLE DSP chip emulation enabled. This fork is only available as a [[libretro]] core, though it is possible to build it with Ethos (byuu's frontend) instead.

This fork is developed by Alcaro, who developed [[ZSNES#ZMZ|ZMZ]] and is also developing his own [[libretro]] frontend, [https://github.com/Alcaro/minir minir].

Converts .JAR and .KJX files offline using its own resources. Easily launches both 2D & 3D apps. Samsung & Nokia API implemented. Supports different keyboard layouts and customization. It is highly accurate, with the right frame rate for each game, as well as vibration. Has slightly improved performance through hardware acceleration, but games won't run too fast. Runs almost every Nokia game, even ones that don't work with KEmulator or FreeJ2ME, but fails with Sony Ericsson 3D engine (Mascot Capsule 3D), due to the fact that the Mascot Capsule 3D is almost difficult to port. This is implemented with JL-Mod emulator.

System requirements : Android 4.0 +

Features

  • Fast emulation
  • Highly compatibility
  • KDDI ezplusアプリ .kjx games are support. Only support 128x160 resulation and font option recommend is (9 - 13 - 15)
  • Bluetooth API support
  • Touchscreen input support
  • Supports external virtual keyboards and QWERTY input
  • 3D support
  • Menu key remapping support
  • Supports different keyboard layouts and customization.
  • Individual settings for each application.
  • Highly accurate, with the right frame rate (FPS support) for each game, as well as vibration.
  • Hardware acceleration support (but games won't run too fast).
  • Accelerometer support.
  • Scaling support.
→ Add support of external shaders filters 

Only shaders for PPSSPP (same format) are supported to use, you need to put them in the J2ME-Loader/shaders folder in the working folder of the emulator, further in the game settings, select the graphics output mode: HW acceleration (OpenGL ES) and select the shader of interest A small collection of compatible shaders can be taken in this repository: ppsspp_shaders
