FreeJ2ME is a simple Java 2 Micro Edition emulator with a focus on J2ME games. It was designed to run on Windows, desktop Linux, and on the Raspberry Pi 3 using Libretro and Retroarch as provided by RetroPie. A free J2ME emulator with libretro, awt, sdl2 frontends and javafx frontends.

Overview

FreeJ2ME supports some games not playable using MicroEmulator and KEmulator, though it does not support every game those play. At the moment, it's best to have all three if you're interested in those types of games.

Some games only run at specific resolutions. Per-game configuration is available from the menu (by pressing esc). Preferences are saved and will automatically load.

Games automatically scale with the window size, making it easy to play games designed for smaller screen sizes.

The Java portion can be built using Apache Ant with the build.xml file provided. The Libretro core can be built using the build.sh script. Installation instructions for the Libretro core for RetroPie are included.

Futures
