Zip Or Jar Extension? Games Do Not Work Both Ways

[banebg]

Please help.......all games are with extensions Zip and my mobile do not recognise them.
Even when I delete extension *.zip and left blank or write *.jar I just can`t start game.....the file is corrupt!!!

What to do?

The reason for all the zipped files is that this forum doesn't allow .jar files to be uploaded. So some uploaders just rename the .thm to .zip, others (and I think this is the best way) packs the .jar file using some program (winzip, winrar...) and uploads that zip file.

So, you should try to unzip the .zip files you downloaded, and copy the unpacked .jar files to your phone. If the zip file is corrupt, try to rename it to .jar (often, if the uploader renames the .jar to .zip, he/she says so in the thread).

also, if you try to download the game from via wap and the site doesn't have .jar extension setup, it may cause any files of that filetype to be corrupt.

Jar

But when I unzip some game there are plenty files in unziped folder and there is no executable file *.jar ....... it seems to me that I have unpacked the game as my mobile would do it......
Only Metal3d worked when I changed *.exe to *.jar. and I did that for all games I have found on this forum.
The same problem is when I leave blank extension (just delete *.exe)

well if it is a zip and you unzip it and there are plenty of files, odds are that the zip was a jar file just renamed to zip so a site can take thefile. jar is an extension file as well as a zip
