GP32 Java?

[Jlobel]

i forgot the game i like its like you shoot a string up in the air at boucning balls which go smaller when u hit them and you cant touch them. And then there are other games i like. Is it supported or do you have to port it and if you have to port is it hard?

I am not so sure what you are talking about. There is no Java interpretor right now for the GP2X.

Ok I think the game you are talking about is Pang and I dont know what you mean with the Java.

There is gppang ( http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,27,1172 )

On gp2x it is just called pang. Works decent, looks and plays great. I am hoping for a few more updates to this game, but it runs just fine.

Regarding a Java VM, I've seen some little open-source Java VMs, but they're certainly not excellent. The best one I've seen so far is Waba for the Newton. They also have Game Boy ports of Waba, which is neat.

Sun has a KVM implementation for Linux(X11) and Windows, source-code provided. The only thing Sun's Community Source Licensing says is that you can't use your results for a commercial product, and that's not what we're doing here at all. Sure, KVM is not a top-performing Java Machine(it's pretty much a interpreter, optimized for the low-spec enviroments of 1999), but if people just want to run cellphone Java games, it will grade pretty fine.

PS: "Nokia only" Java games won't run, however.

EDIT : The again, this is more a GP2X thing now that I think about it (since KVM needs a threaded OS).

No there is no "Java (tm)". But there is GNU Classpath with JamVM (maybe Cacao later) running on it:
