Fixes for the J2ME section and more SDK emulators
While originally not intended for games (until its more advanced game-oriented API came), it became the ''de facto'' market standard for cell phone gaming - due in no small part to the SDK being free and without licensing costs.
<i>[[JL-Mod#Mascot Capsule|Mascot Capsule V3]]</i> is a propietary 3D graphics engine developed by Hi-Corporation. It was mostly used in Japanese devices, but it also made it overseas featured in many Sony Ericsson devices. Many developers made use of this tech to bring higher quality 3D graphics on Java ME phones, more specifically the Sony Ericsson Java phonesversion of their J2ME games.
===Emulators===
Currently, the Android-exclusive [[J2ME Loader]] is able to run most of the J2ME games, also run 3D games with unable to run Mascot Capsule 3D games, and its fork [[JL-Mod]] has can run plenty of the Mascot Capsule 3D exclusive games. On desktops [[KEmulator]] and [[FreeJ2ME]] should suffice for most games, but there's a minority of games making use of obscure vendor-specific APIs supported only on their respective SDK tools. Given the scarcity of such tools, this list aims to comprehensively list the available ones for convenience.

;[[KEmulator]] — Closed-source
:Has more features and compatibility than other onesothers, as well as 3D emulation (Compared with SJ Boy and Midp2exe, KEmulator has better performance). Has support for custom resolutions and full screen (View/Options). You can even set a proxy server for mobile Java apps that connect to the internet under optionsIt's feature-packed with debugging features, like HTTP proxying. Requires Java Runtime Environment installed. It is a recommended emulator if you're on a Windows PC, although some games (such as Wolfenstein RPG and Doom 2 RPG) freeze indefinitely on the loading screen. Last update was in 2012.
