Games Guide
Here's as in-depth of a guide as I could compile!
Big thanks to wackydude69 from www.howardforums.com
for the help!
First of all, you will need to read through the Guide on the left to
find out all the things you will need to be able to upload Games.
I suggest uploading a few ringtones and wallpapers before attempting
to upload a Game.
Okay, to begin with, you will need a .jad and a .jar
file. Go to one of these sites to get them.
www.tagtag.com
wap.ranova.org/java.shtml
www.republika.pl/eter/
(if you have heard of any other worthwhile sites that have .jad and
.jar sites pm me on HowardForums.com - john00)
Once you have downloaded the .jad and .jar for the game you want, open
up BitPim and go to the filesystem tab and click the +.


Go down the ams section, and click the + symbol.
From
here you will right click on ams and click new subdirectory.
Starting at 00 you will go up, so in my case the new subdirectory that
I would make would be 08.
You will put nothing in this subdirectory, as it is used for saving
games, etc.
Next, right click on ams again and click New File. Go find the .jad
you downloaded, and rename it to 08.jad (the name corresponds
to the folder you just created). Next, right click on ams again,
click new file again, and find the .jar you downloaded and rename it
to 08.jar, then select it. Now, right click
on contentInfo and save it to your desktop.
NOTE: If you have not yet downloaded anything to your phone, you
will not see any of this.
Click here to download a sample contentInfo file.
Open it in Notepad. In my case it says:

Seems like a big jumble of words right now, but, if you press enter
before each !C it will make it much easier to comprehend:

It now makes a bit more sense, and you can and should erase everything
starting at !E down.
Now, copy the first line !C 0 NHL etc to just before the next !, and
paste it at the bottom. Change the number to correspond with
before. (8 for 08.jad) and change the name to what you would
like to appear in the menu. Where it says Games or Tools, you
can change to make the file appear in whatever section you want.
You can also create new ones, say "Math Programs" or something like
that. DO NOT add a line in your .jad saying Folder: Games, as
for some reason it has not worked with mine, and not allowed the game
to start.

Now, unplug the phone, restart, and test it out! This guide may
still be buggy, as there have probably been minor things I have
forgotten. Any issues? PM me!
