How to play mobile games on your computer

If you don't have the possibility to download a game from AUD Mobile to a mobile phone then you can always play the game on your computer. What you need to do is to download a mobile phone emulator that will allow you to play mobile games on the computer.

We recommend that you download this emulator to play our games on your computer: The Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5.1

How to register at AUD Mobile

A quick 6-step procedure to become a member so that you can download games from the AUD Mobile website.

During the registration process you will be asked to fill in some simple information.

Click inside the "Date of birth"-field to open the "Date of birth"-form. Then choose your year, month and day for when you are born.

Your "Date of birth" will be added to the field in this format: DD/MM/YYYY. Fill in the remaining fields to complete the registration.

Once you have registered you will have a login. Enter your e-mail address and the password that you got when you registered at the website.

When you have logged in start by clicking on the "home" link to get back to the main page of the site.

At the lower part of the main page you will find a picture of the SpaceBat game with two buttons underneath it. The left button has the text "download now". Click on it!

On the following page choose your mobile phone (if there are any available) and just click "next".

Now you are at the final page where you will find two files for download. 1. The first text has a link to the "x.JAD" which you have to copy and paste into a browser in order to download. 2. The second file is the "SpaceBat.JAR" file which you can download by clicking on the "download" button. Save both files in the same folder on your computer.

How to start a mobile game to play with the emulator

We will use our game SpaceBat for this example. There is a very simple way to start the game in the emulator after you have installed the emulator on your computer. Simply double-click on the "x.jad" file to start the game!

First you have to choose "Launch", by pressing the upper-right button with a dot.

After that open the "Menu" by pressing the upper-right button again.

The the "Menu" is open you have to choose "Authorize" by pressing "ENTER" on your keyboard.

After that you have to choose "Ok" by pressing the upper-right button again. "Setup data is missing" means that this is the first time you try to login and your login information have not been saved on the mobile phone/emulator yet. You only need to do the following steps this one time!

Now you have to login using the login name (not e-mail) and password that you received when you registered at the website.

Enter you login name and password and choose "Ok" by pressing the upper-right button again.

After that open the "Menu" again.

Once again you have to choose "Authorize" by pressing "ENTER" on your keyboard. You can choose "Setup" instead of "Authorize" if you want to check if you typed your login name and password correctly!

Then you need to choose "Yes" by pressing the upper-right button once more.

Finally, press the upper-right button to open then "Menu" one final time and then press "ENTER" on your keyboard to start the game. Have fun!

Troubleshooting

The password reset feature has now been implemented. Users can now reset their passwords themselves by clicking on the "forgot your password?" link.

You can also press "down" and choose “Setup” instead of "Authorize"...

...By doing so, you can recheck if you have typed your login name and password correctly.

From Sun Tech Days: Hands-On Labs.

(Q3): When I try to run one of the exercises which uses a network connection, it results in the following exception message...

javax.microedition.io.ConnectionNotFoundException: TCP open

...in the emulator window. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

(A3): Before executing the lab exercise you need to have a TCP network connection available from your workstation. Verify that you are connected to your LAN, high speed line, or dial-up connection.

(Q4): I have verified my network connection is ok, but I'm still seeing the ConnectionNotFoundException mentioned above.

(A4): If your are connected but are behind a firewall, you may need to configure the J2ME Wireless Toolkit for your proxy settings. Select the Network Configuration pane from the Edit->Preferences... pop up window to enter the address and port number of your proxy.

If you encounter an error that says Error of type java.io.IOException: Error initializing HTTP tunnel connection and Server: squid/2.5.STABLES-mara.4 then this is your most probable cause:

You are running a Network that uses Squid - a HTTP and FTP proxy cache which caches websites and HTTP requests. You should try using another network, a network that uses direct internet access or a normal proxy instead. Squid will not allow you to login on a network in the way our games require you to login.
