==In-Fusio==
===Execution Engine<small>([[ExEn]])</small>===
ExEn was a freeware solution developed by French company In-Fusio around 2000 and later the company re-developed the ExEn V2 engine in 2002, which further improved the speed and expressiveness of mobile. It was first Java-based game engine entirely dedicated to mobile devices itself as an alternative to the limitations of J2ME's game development (offering missing feautures like sprite zooming, parallax scrolling, rotations).

===webOS<small>(Palm Pre/Pixi)</small>===
Palm launched webOS, then called Palm webOS, in January 2009 as the successor to Palm OS. The first webOS device was the original Palm Pre, released by Sprint in June 2009. In April 2010, HP acquired Palm, then in 2013 LG acquired them to make webOS for TV, Smartwatch, and Smartfridge. For LG's webOS see [[Smart TV Emulators]].
==MediaTek==
===Mediatek Runtime Environment<small>(MRE) / MAUI</small>===
Being the turnkey solutions firm that they are known for, as their chips are used on millions and millions of el-cheapo "Shanzhai" devices all over the world (especially counterfeit Nokias and Goophones among other things), Mediatek has also come up with their own mobile platform and API known as the [http://news.softpedia.com/news/Opera-Mini-Arrives-on-MediaTek-s-Runtime-Environment-MRE-238105.shtml Mediatek Runtime Environment], aka MAUI. It is targeted for so-called "smart" feature phones, i.e. those that offer similar functionality to standard mobile operating systems like Android, but are watered down for entry-level users. Games and applications for this platform are in <code>.VXP</code> format and other applications appear to be available on the usual WAP sites.
==Qualcomm==
===Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless<small>(BREW)</small>===
A mobile development platform by Qualcomm, originally intended for CDMA handsets such as those sold by Verizon. Unlike Java ME, applications and games for BREW use native code as opposed to running in a virtual machine in the case of Java ME. Also, BREW development has a higher barrier to entry due to stringent certification requirements, which led it to be significantly less popular than Java ME even in markets where CDMA has a significant market share, such as in North America. To top it all off, downloaded BREW apps are tied to an individual handset via a digital signature, making piracy or sideloading difficult; it is however possible to unlock certain BREW-enabled CDMA phones to run backups and pirated apps, though downloads for BREW apps and games are rare and hard to find compared to Java ME.
==Microsoft==
===Windows Mobile<small>(PocketPC)</small>===
Released in 2000 by Microsoft as their first mobile OS, originally called "Pocket PC" and made to run on PDA's, the name changed to Windows Mobile when the PDA market began to shrink. WM was initially based on Windows CE before evolving into something unique. It was mainly designed for business users, so it didn't have a lot of games for it.
