Changes

The situation is quite different in Japan where mobile hardware was much more developed, only loosely Java-based, and major video game developers were much more invested in creating unique and high-quality content that's most obscure and unpreserved, let alone emulated, today. Those are the very different [[wikipedia:Galapagos syndrome|Galapagos mobile phones]] (like NTT DoCoMo i-mode, DeNa, RoID...). Some of these games got ported to the inferior Western hardware but these are in the tiny minority.

<code>.JAR</code> files of Java-based non-Japanese cell phones can be still found online with some effort, namely on WAP sites offering (pirated) mobile content e.g. [http://dedomil.net dedomil.net], [http://phoneky.com phoneky.com], [http://mobiles24.co mobiles24.co]

==Dark Age of Monochrome Mobile PhonesJava 2 Micro Edition <small>(J2ME)</small>==Earlier black»» A free cross-and-white cell phone games (both platform language capable of working in Japan and worldwide) didn't get as much love either when it comes devices with highly reduced capabilities. It was basically Java stripped down to emulation and preservation of game binariesthe bare essentials. There were, however, recreations of Snake and Space Impact While originally not intended for Nokia phones on their website at one timegames (until its more advanced game-oriented API came), along with remakes of it became the aforementioned games ''de facto'' market standard for Android cell phone gaming - due in no small part to the SDK being free and iOS. There are several Nokia phone models with MAME support, though they are preliminary at best with most models displaying a "CONTACT SERVICE" error if not a white screenwithout licensing costs.
