The '''[[wikipedia:Atari Lynx|Atari Lynx]]''' was a fourth-generation handheld game console released by [[wikipedia:Atari|Atari]] on September 1, 1989 and it retailed for {{Inflation|USD|179.99|1989}}. It has a WDC 65SC02 CPU. Notably, it was the world's first handheld system that used a color LCD screen, as well as having fairly advanced graphics for the time.

'''J2ME Loader''' is a free and open-source [[Cellphone_emulators#J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition)|Java 2 Micro Edition]] and [[Cellphone_emulators#KDDI ezplus|ezplusアプリ]] emulator <ref group=N> It's not exactly an emulator. It converts MIDlets to Android API and makes J2ME applications to run almost natively in [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_(software) Dalvik] or [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Runtime Android Runtime]</ref>

It's written in Java. This project is a fork of [https://github.com/NaikSoftware/J2meLoader J2meLoader].

Unlike contemporaneous machines, its architecture is based upon a frame buffer and a scaling blitter, providing both 2d sprite and background scaling and hardware support for lines and filled triangles. Because it has no inherent concept of a tile map or any sprite-specific hardware, the drawing budget is per frame rather than per line; there is no enforced limit in terms of the number of sprites or sprites per line other than that implied by the amount of drawing that can be achieved within an acceptable frame rate.

==Overview==

==Emulators==
+
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.

J2ME Loader is a free and open-source Java 2 Micro Edition and ezplusアプリ emulator [N 1] for Android It's written in Java. This project is a fork of 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.

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).
